the insurance will still be shitlaods cos its a r34 skyline they dont care auto manual or turbo non turbo. its an import they believe parts are harder to find, it will most likely get stolen cos its an import and will most likely brake down and have more problems cos it wasnt australian delivered so the insurer has a to bigger premium on it cos they believe more things will go wrong cos it wasnt sold in aus. the diff between turbo and non turboi will be like $200 a year. same with auto vs man probably another $200 a year

you probably can't import the 2.0 litre one, as not enoguh power to classify under SEVS (correct me if im wrong, i cant be bothered looking it up)

there is also issue of police attention, they won't care/know if it's a turbo or non-turbo, they'll pull u over anyway... though i guess you've got an advantage coz you dont live in melbourne...

well i had a quote ages age on about $4600 for a turbo and i know a guy my age in Sydney with a non turbo, well i dont know him but he is Viscount on these forums and he has a non turbo for $3200 a yr so i mean a fair difference................

Why not just get a R32 GTS or R32 GTS-t, even better, plus the cheapest R34 i've seen in Australia was a R34 25GT Semi Automatic Sedan for $19,990. Goodluck having $20,000 if your a 'youngin' insurance is a killer, so is attention.

Edit: Also you must factor in things like fuel, (i know N/A wont suck the fuel as much as a Turbocharged motor, but still) and repair costs etc, many, many things in a car car not function correctly and need repair, repairs for a car, especially a R34 can be very costly.

you better off buying a r33 GTS25, insurance for it will be around 1500 full comprehensive as long as you've had no fines/accidents etc through justcarinsurance - well it was for me when iw as 18.

A R34, due to the price, and newer car etc etc would be just as expensive as a turbo version

Things to note:

r34 and r33 N/A's are not 'that' much different power wise

r33 will be cheaper to buy, and cheaper to insure

/plug for himself :P

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
