Hi all

I am considering buying an R34 as they seem reasonably priced at the moment and a good selection of them over here (even if most seem to be in NSW).

I am not really sure which engine to go for so jsut wondering if some people with R34's can give me opinons and if possible any tips for buying said specced car.

Thanks in advance guys and girls. :(

Unless you wanna spend upwards of $80k on the GTR with the RB26DETT, GTT with the good ol RB25DET is the way to go.

Last year i own an R34 GTT (LOOK) but this year i own an R33 GTR (Performance and handling) and NEXT year i am after R34 GTR (Performance + Handling + Look) or 350Z (Look + LOOK and Handling). That y i have my GTR for sale and will never look for GTT again.

So my conclusion is if you own an RB26DETT with Altesa before you will never look back for RB25DET. Go for GTT is you want the look else RB26DETT is the way to go..

Also if you are serious of getting an R34 GTT, why not consider S15...

calvintys - thanks for the reply mate. They are good points. I had a look at the S15 and they look good with some of the Japanese kits on but my girlfriend isnt really a fan! She prefers the Skyline which is fine with me!

I am selling the cossie reluctantly but have been weighing up the Skyline (personal favourite), FTO and WRX. We already have a Subaru so probably avoid that one. I like the R33 but prefer the lines of the R34 and they seem to be well priced at the moment.

riggap and KamikazeR33 thanks also for the replies. It seems a GTT is the way to go as I dont have the $80K upwards to spend.

Cheers for all the replies guys

Anymore for anymore?

mate if you're in no hurry (as in mid/late jan) to decide, i can bring my GT-T around then, and you can have a squizz, bit of a drive, see what you think? Altho i'd imagine you'd probably decide on something before then. Anyways, would be nice to see another 34 down our way..

cheers.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I need one ASAP really once the cossie is sold. I do IT work and have to get to clients and my car on an unregistered permit isnt really on!

Would still be awesome to see yours SS8_Gohan and Snowman I may take you up on the offer!

I will do a search of the ACT forum in a bit and see what I can dig up. Not desperatly after a drive or anything but just to see some R34's in the flesh would be good.

Cheers all for the help and any other suggestions comments are welcomed

Have been looking at Supras but really want a car 97 onwards and there dont seem to be too many of them.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
