Aiight boys, i think its finally about time i joined the family. After much searching and thinking, i think i may have found the car i want. White manual r34 turbo. Only problem is it is interstate(NSW). Since i want it to be in its best health before i buy, i need to get it checked. Who in NSW can do this for me? Mainly compression test, accident checks, check if its stolen etc. Ive heard NRMA do this, are they any good?? What else can i look out for when buying an R34? I know the interior and exterior condition does reflect on the kms done and i have read the thread about what to look out for when buying a Skyline. Is there any way to tell if the Kms are guiwine(ie, tests). What else can i do to make sure the car iam buying is a non thrashed, well maintained and low kms glamour? Thanks in advance.

there is nothing u can do to test if the kms are genuine, forget the kms, just judge the car by condition, most imports are wound back.

unless u personally know anyone in sydney that can do it for you its a bit hard... i would not reccomend nrma, for similar money arrange an inspection at one of the import shops such as CRD, call them up and tell them exactly what u want checked im sure they will do it for you.

yeah if its in or near sydney CRD (www.croydonracingdevelopments.com) or unique autosports. http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/ are pretty good so i've heard. If not NRMA are pretty good for most the mechanical stuff. Not sure how they are with testing turbo and shit. Definitely get them to check it out if the others don't work though.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
