Hi Guys,

I am very keen to buy an R34 Skyline (no, not A GTR as I can't afford one).

Is there a page on this forum/site with exact specs for all models of R34,ie manual, auto & the features?

I guess what I am looking for is a brochure like you would pick up in a dealership.

Aslo, any feedback on what you R34 owners (or ex-owners) think of the 34.

Did Nissan only make a GT-T & GTR in this model?

What would you expect to pay for one & more importantly what should you look out for when buying a second hand grey import. ie wear & tear, etc for the number of kms. Is there any tell-tale signs of a windback by looking at the car?

One more qn... What does a 100,000 kms service cost (incl timing chain/belt)?

Any other info all greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys.

Nissan made all sorts of R34s same as the R33s

NA versions, both two door and four door.

Turbos, Both two door and Four door.

GT-T is the coupe turbo, GT is the Coupe NA

GT-X is (I think) 4WD single turbo blah blah blah.

Current price is whatever somebody is willing to pay.

Some people are thinking they can import and register one for about 30k, but that was only the case about 12 months ago. Now, they are getting a bit more pricey in Japan, and hence the finished price over here is a bit higher too.

You'd probably be looking at $35k private import, more like $40k from a dealer.

Wear and tear would be the same as any other car.

Odometer is digital but it can still be done.

100k service, not sure but it shouldcost more than $1000 for a full top to bottom service including all oils and stuff.

As the for car itself, well I love mine to bits.

Thanks guys for the really helpful info!

I saw an R34 for sale at a good price with a tiptroic auto.

I am not a huge fan of auto's as they steal the fun of the whole driving experience from you & the gear braking sensation (yes I have owned both auto & manual normalyy aspirated cars).

I have never driven a tiptronic gearbox - are they any match to a manual in respect to driver involvement?

Check out the Victorian section of the forums.

We have an SAU VIC meeting on the second Tuesday of the month or something.

At the Whitehorse Pub, not sure of the suburb, near Hawthorn.

Where are you located?

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
