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.

Give me your email and I'll send you a scan of the GTT brochure.

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?

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
