Hey guys,

I've recently moved across to Melbourne from Perth and I was wondering if there is a R34 GTR club in Melbourne on facebook or on here that I could contact other members on.

I've noticed quite a few more imports over this way and I've also been made aware of how strict this place is so I've got a few questions to ask if anyone has the time to help out.

I know Racepace is meant to be one of the best skyline specialists for mods / repairs ect unless there's someone better out there that I am not aware of....

Also I've noticed car theft is HUGE here so aside from a car alarm, does anyone else have a GPS tracker in their cars?

Any info would be great!

Cheers all,

Ben

There is a Skylines scene, not sure where you could possibly go to get details however.....

As for theft, where do you live? Some areas are bad for it, some areas it's non-existent.

The best protection against car theft is a good insurance policy. If a tea leaf wants your car bad enough, ain't nothing you are going to be able to do to stop him from taking it.

Oh, and welcome to Melbourne. Be sure to leave your west side shoulder chip at the door ;)

Hi Ben,

My partner just made that move with her Skyline and knows how you feel :)

I have a GPS tracker in my car but I concur with the above, if some flog wants your stuff you can't do shit about it...get a good insurance policy and the rest is auxillary protection. Cars are getting stolen from locked up basement carparks these days and towed away with flat beds. It's sad but that's the world we live in. Some 34 owners even enlist the help of security guards ;)

Keep an eye on events section and check out SAU Vic, the paid membership club, as they do some motorsport and social events you might like.

Not sure about 34R specific clubs but could be one around, heavily guarded of course.

Cheers for the info guys. I don't carry the WA chip your referring to so that's fine. There are a few pros and cons in both states so I'm taking the good with the bad.

My car has a car alarm and gps tracker and insured through just car with an agreed value so if someone takes it then so be it. It's shit that there are people here that want to steal peoples pride and joy however it's like that anywhere you go.

As far as the club thing goes I am still apart of an R34 gtr club and the people there were great. Most are in the SAU community which was why i asked the question about a similar group in Vic.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
