I live on the gold coast and have only seen an one R34 the 5 years I've been living here. I've also been searching to buy an R34 within this region for a reasonable price but there are rarely any decent condition ones for sale. All the immaculate ones I see are in Melbourne.

33 are common as mud in Brisbane, 34 are not as common but by no means rare. They're 13-20 year old cars now and most have been bought by young kids that didn't maintain them and thus they become flogged out. It's very hard to find a good condition 33 and a bit easier but still hard to find a nice 34. The only advice I can give is to keep looking.

Yeah, I've been looking for the past 8 or so months now, of course you get a great one popping up every now and again but I guess its just me becoming impatient, as the last offer I tried to follow up sold within the first 10 minutes of being put on carsales, lol.

If you're going to Sydney to look at a car I'd take someone who knows what to look for with you. The pressure will be on to buy it there and then so you have a way home but you should be prepared to walk away and catch a plane home again.

I did the interstate trip when looking for an R33, car was nothing like the pics and was a dissapointment but live and learn i guess, be prepared for alot of bullshit artists and test drive some cars with good power to compare ...

Cant you go to an import dealer in Brisbane? Look at some skylines fresh from Japan. Im the first Aus owner of my R33, bought it stock as a rock and it was clean as bar some damage to the dash (think the previous owner had something mounted there)

It cost me a little more then going for a private sale but i did end up with Warranty and probably a much better looked after car

Hey mate, I was searching for a clean 34 GTT on the Goldy and surrounding areas for a few months and, ended up travelling down to VIC to pick mine up.

As for spotting wise, they're out there, I see a handful every couple of weeks but 33's are more common that's for sure.

If you're looking at cars in Sydney or Melbourne, hit up one of the guys from SAU NSW or VIC. They will be able to point you in the direction of somewhere reputable that can do mechanical checks etc and may even know of the car in question. Book a return flight on your first trip down and try and see a couple of cars. That way, the pressure to purchase then and there isn't on. Head back down to drive it up after placing a deposit. Mate sold his BNR34 to a guy in Sydney and that's what they did.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
