hey everyone i've spent a decent amount of time looking around and deciding on a car. I was going for an r33 but i had the issue of size, being a larger guy so ive decided on an r34. Im only going to be on my p's so i need a non turbo and would love to know if anyone knows of places i can get one for around 6-9k which i know can be done from what i have seen but am really interested in a coupe model im from melbourne so if anyone knows anything please let me know where they are!
i am happy to import if need be provided it keeps with in my price range.

It's not worth going through the import process for a non-turbo r34. Anything short of a very good condition GT-R (there's plenty here too), you'd be better sourcing locally.

6-9k is going to be a BIG stretch though mate. From what I've seen, you're probably looking at 9-12k. 9k will almost certainly be an auto that's not going to be in top condition as well. I'd keep saving to be honest. Like with all skylines; any money you save by buying the cheapest car in the short term is going to cost you a lot more down the track.

Edit: Also, it's not a fine science.....finding these cars. The two best places to look will be here or on another classifieds website. We don't keep a secret list for those who ask.

I'd also almost ignore the odometer reading on all Skylines, they're never going to be legitimate kilometres on the car from new. They're a guide at best. The best use of an odometer reading is to get the best history on the car that you can. I own an R32 GT-R that was imported with (a probably false) 76,000km in 2009 and I bought it last year. It sits at 120,000km now and I had a full file of receipts and history from 76,000km when it came into the country until now. That's worth something.

Good luck with it all. Be patient, do your research and you'll find something you want.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
