dont be fooled. Think about the crappy handling, the cheap interiors, the constant petrol guzzling, driving in the wet sucks too with that much low end torque, wet cornering, modifying them is boring. It is an impressive ute though, especially when he drives it - awesome control

We went down the same road Dan, from 8's to jap, and the only way i would ever get another 8 is if its my second car that i would use as a weekender. I still love them though.

yes i went from 8, to turbo 6, to turbo 4.

I am just so confused at the moment - there is only one car that I really want and thats a r34 gtr .. but am having trouble justifing spending the money. A GTt or GTSt is uninspiring - and to do what I want to a rex is just foolish spending....

So im mayby looking into a evo 7 /6.5 import or perhaps a Ducatti .... I dont know - but until im certin I wont buy anything - because if I do i will sell it in one year like i did with all my cars cause im bored of it.....

ahhhhhh decisions decisions....

its hard not to sell after a year, im the same way. And agreed, its hard to get excited over a gts-t

70-80k on a 34GTR is difficult to justify, but if its only for a year you dont lose too much money i guess. Good luck anyway

we caned this thread ..yeaw

finding a good brumby is very hard work .. mate of mine looked and looked and found nothing...

Have you considered a rotor ute....

Ive been looking into this ... a old school datto or maza ute with a turbo rotor .... weight fark all and would kick arse on the street... handle like a go cart with some suspension work and a set of good tyres...

i would consider that, but im after a 90's car. This purchase is not really for performance, its more for just having a fun functional get around car and have always wanted a ute.

not fussed if i do a transplant in the brumby or not. Im saving my pennies for a house deposit. The cheapo corolla i bought drives like a dream, but just really sucks ass to be seen in public with. I used to see quite a few brumbys for sale last year when i was looking, but it was slim pickings in the quokka/sundaytimes last week

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
