Good luck :)

Can't wait to see the 34 if you buy one.

Also a r33 is a cheaper option which leaves more money for cool mods.

They come in both 4 door and 2 door.

I like to pretend that they never made 4dr R33's haha. They are an acquired taste.

Don't let manual scare you, i bought my first car (s13 silvia) in Melbourne never having touched manual and drove it home(SYDNEY!) that taught me pretty quickly (lol)

Sounds like a 4 door R34 would be the best way to go for your needs :) - they look awesome too!

Duncan Gay yes, has announced that many 100s of cars previously banned for P platers will be permitted to be owned and driven. He stated that the current laws are outmoded. So the RMS has a revised list.

Now for balance! Assuming you have a legal turbo car (within the scope of power to weight), have you considered Advanced Driver Courses? And don't forget that our club runs track days/hillclimbs/texis!

Enjoy and stay safe!

I'd personally buy a nice R34 coupe (only because I like my sports car to be a coupe & and had a NA R33 coupe when I was on P's) and I think get some wheels and coilovers and leave it at that.

I wouldn't spend too much money on it if you are already planning to sell it when you get off your P's.

Save the money to mod something that's worth modding when you are on full and something that you won't sell it off :P

Oh and whatever you choose to do, do it for yourself, whatever makes you happy, and stuff the passengers, they can always get in from the other side haha

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
