Hey guys,


Posted this in for sale thread but decided to make a topic for it instead, maybe to see if anyone has been in a similar position and has some advice.


might be looking to sell my R34 GT-T 2001 :(


The car has been in a very minor crash at a set of lights, had it looked over by a couple repair places and they have said that the structural parts of the car are 100% fine but it will need a new bonnet due to it being a bit bent and the headlights have small cracks on top where the plastic brakets holding them on snapped.


The car needs to go over registration at the end of the month, and I may be moving so not sure if it worth me repairing it and the rest just to maybe not really need it in Melbourne.


The car is mechanically great, and also is almost completely stock so would be a great starting point for someone wanting to build something amazing!


I really don't want to sell it, I payed $14,000 for it last year, but I also think it would be best with someone who could apprecaite it more.


I'd much rather sell it on here to someone who I know will take good care of it, and I don't really know how much it would be worth as I've heard offers from $1000 all the way up $7000.


I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in buying it or swapping for something more suited for what I need, like a Subaru Liberty or something.


Thanks guys, if you would like photos or have any advice please feel free to message me!


Also in case you were wondering I didn't have comprehensive so my insurance wouldn't cover my car, only reason can't get it repaired as I was the one repsonsible.


If anyone has an experience in this would be greatly appreciated, I got quoted if I brought in a new bonnet, headlights and maaaybe reo bar just to be safe they could install and line everything up back together for a few hundred.

You would be better off fixing then selling... There's probably about 1500 worth of secondhand parts, paint and labour in there. Would be cheaper if you can find parts in that colour but its not very common

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.

      That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.
