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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
