my first time in a skyline was about 3 yrs ago.... my mates mate was picking us up from school although it was non-turbo still felt like it went and the sound was great. then last year i was looking at buying a car and took this 32 GTS-t for a drive and loved it ended up being it.

now i have a love/hate relationship with it, when something isnt working or goes wrong i hate it but then wen a nice cool day comes along and i give it a boot my :huh: turns into a :(

funny enough my first ride a skyline was with a chick i picked up at a club,

she called me to come pick me up and what do i see

she rocks up in a 11sec gtr,

that thing was insane now i own my very own beast and only death will part me from a gtr LMAO

Owned an Australian delivered Toyota Starlet....yes the 1.3litre variety! Then brought a NA Supra 93 model....had fun but not enough! Took a ride in mates R33 GTR with N1s, twin HKS BOVS....speed and sound brought my sole.......out went the Toyota and in came a black R33 GTST....light mods....does not match the awesome sound of GTR............out went R33...in came R34 GTT with full nismo options..........had a blast..............still hungry for more..........didn't muck around this time...........in came the final fling....the R34 GTR VSPEC now with twin GTRS huffers..........got the sound, the speed, and the look.

Not exactly a skyline, but a Nissan turbo none the less..

My first taste of boost..

I had been on the lookout for a neat datsun 1600 for a while.. FJ20 powered would have been the ultimate, but alas my bank account didn't agree with such a proposition.. Until I had a call from a mate who mentioned a certain FJ20ET powered 1600 was up for grabs. I knew the car and had drooled over it previously in the flesh.. No way it would be in my price bracket... "He only wants 6k for it"
:):O

Next day my mate drives me down to the guys place, I have a quick snoop around, front mount, BOV, Haltech, monster tach with a couple of other gauges and all in all very good condition for a 30+ year old car. Koni adjustables and lowered springs. He starts it up and with a little puff of smoke the mighty FJ20 is quietly rumbling away. "Wanna go for a quick run?" I awkwardly snuggle into the nice little black Aerotech bucket (matching pair) and click the buckle on the harness.

We pull off slowly to the first set of lights. "It's still a bit wet so I won't be able to show you what she's really got" (It had rained earlier and the road was about 70-80% dry).. Lights green.. we pull off revs building and for a split second I remember thinking "Shouldn't it be faster than this?"...... Then BANG after 4k all hell breaks loose!! the locked diff clambers for grip as the car steps out as he changes slightly early into second. I'm pushed backward into the seat, car squats a bit and feels like we are about to take off! Sideways wheels still spinning he backs off a bit to try regain grip.. Third comes with some wheelspin then slingshot into 4th momentarily where a corner stops our progression.

:O
HOLY SHIT I'M IN LOVE.. One of the best feelings for me to date.. Negotiated the price down to 5k and tell him I'll be back with cash ASAP... Unfortunatly I was fair amount short of that figure at the time, came back to him a couple of weeks later with the full amount but it was sold.... Absolutely devostated!!! Oh well I would probably be dead or a paraplegic if I had aquired such a vehicle at 17 years of age.. Still hurts to this day though.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
