Nearly anything is possible, if you have the money. However, the amount of money you'd need to do this, you won't earn in 2 years.

In short; Buy a GTR when off your provisional license.

No GTR Skyline ever came as a 2WD/RWD car. Part of why they're a lot more expensive then their GTS-T/GT-T counterparts.

thanks,

that's all I needed to know, it just occurred to me that it might be cheaper but clearly not.

thanks for taking the time to reply mate as clearly never been into it all too much although have worked in an industrial engineer shop since 15 so I'm not hopeless just with exact models and makes can be convertered on a specific skyline so I figured here would be a place to ask. forgive me for thinking that.

Just read, read, read. You'll learn all you need to know from this website. Chances are that if anyone has ever thought of a question, you'll be able to search and find the answer here.

Nothing against you personally, but a lot of people will see the question you asked as the cardinal sin of skyline ownership. Bright side is that your knowledge base will only improve from here.

Incorrect, see C10 and C110 Skyilne GT-Rs from the 1969 - 1973 :P

OP, as suggested, read read read, and read some more. The more information you have the more informed choices you will make.

Lucky for you that your first car is an R34. It will teach you car control and how vehicle reacts to driver inputs and conditions (skid pan and track days). Don't worry about the non-turbo aspect, you have plenty of power for a p-plater.

I still have my first car, my R31 Skyline, which is supposed to be my daily. Your N/A R34 will be a good daily, the NEO6 is pretty economical. You can buy a GT-R later and have your R34 as a run around :).

Not worth it. If you want more power and keep the shell and just drop a 25NEODET into it. Apart from that it isn't worth the cash to through a GTR widebody and other mods. If you want a twin turbo but can't afford a 34 GTR when off P's just get a 33 or even a 32.

    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
