Been looking at the local ones and they are all modified and molested.

When you think about it they have all come in via import so I want to start from the start and get something nice and clean.

Also I don't have the time to go running around the country inspecting them.

If I get it through Iron Chef then he has people on the docks inspecting and they come with a grading haha so easier for me.

Why you go the import route? (honestly curious)34s around these parts I believe are less than this 16k figure...

yeah i reckon 34s here are 12k for a nice one plus you still need to get it passed dickson. i would look here first bringing a panel of experts there are nice examples around.

why the change in model anyway, besides stock s1 r33's look like a bag of dicks?

Haha to be honest I don't mind the S1 R33 the 34 does look much better though
But I just want something more reliable, not so old and newer model.

The 33 is nearing about 210,000km and everytime I replace something I find something else that needs fixing.

It's a never ending story with a car thats 20 years old.

I don't mind spending 16k importing a well looked after 34 with low km.

if you save up just a little more you can get a 34GTR Ive seen a few oing around 28000 from Japland. I imported mine and honestly the condition was better than all the one i had looked at. Things may have changed now with the market

:laugh:NEO is appealing.

yeah thats fair enough, plus the neo head is appealing. Get some real wheels for your next car though....

haha........i got vs xx's brand new delivered to my door for 2k i had to wait though.

Yeah I love those wheels.. If they were 1800 I might consider it in the future.. But all the ones I can find are around 3 grand lol... Far to expensive for my liking :(

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
