ba bow!!! Only non-turbos were ever made in Bayside Blue, hence why they are missing the 3 gauges (all non-turbos are missing those gauges). The only way a Turbo R34 can be Bayside Blue is if the car has been repainted, or a turbo conversion has been done on it - in which case the car will not pass adrs and cannot be complied in Aus (as far as I'm aware). Do some searches on Bayside Blue R34s and you will find they did not make them in a Turbo variant (other than GTRs obviously), and I think are known as an R34GTV (as opposed to GTT).

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but in my travels this is what I have learnt.

Would you care to post the auction sheet of your R34 Blue_J? - I am interested to see!

Oh damn! I thought the car was turbo.

No seriouslly I won't be rude, but you are totally incorrect.

Yes they made Bayside Blue GTTs, anyone who has told you

otherwise don't know jack. BTW car dealers generally know nothing

about cars, so there is a start.

Additionally I have sat in a Blue GTT at a yard and yes I'm not colour blind :)

And lastly but not leastly to prove my point; here is my results from Nissan Fast for my car;

Note: 1-Colour Code, 2- Engine RE25det

That's why I put the 'feel free to correct me if I'm wrong' disclaimer at the bottom :)

I am still confused as to why the 3 gauges are missing though .... even with the TV they would have easily fitted. Nice colour choice btw :)

Hey, can you do a FAST search like that on my car for me? VIN ER34015023

Check these sites out for your answers:

Are the prices at these auctions US dollars? Still are bloddy cheap. Have a look at the link for a R33 GTR with a grade 4 result. I wish they were that cheap.

In case anyone was wondering about S1 GTT's they were also available in the stunning Bayside Blue... the one I looked at in yard was a S1 and they wanted $44k for the thing. damn expensive!!

The colour is so rare; hence all confusion and mystery.

Mine's a S1 99 model and has the sunroof :D Have yet to see another 34 with one...although I'm sure they exist but very rare!

There was one at the dealership when I picked mine up; sunroof looked genuine to me.

Anyways; 1998 S1 R34 GTT, 100% stock, Grade 4.5 from Japan, Semi Auto, 38K kms for $28K flat... but I must say that there was a personal connection involved.

so r34 gTT s1 and s2 came in bayside blue but is very rare?

hmm interesting i wouldnt mind seeing one...

did everyone import there 34? or did dey buy from yard? im just too scared to pay for money for a car i havent seen...

also i got told by a dealer that sunroof was never an option that tehre all aftermarket, its a load of BS i reckon...

very bullshit, my one had a sunroof...and it's fully detailed in my workshop manual

Don't know if you can just make it out in this picture...back when the car was N/A

The other pic is before and after bolt-on turbo (note intercooler) :)

Read up on the auction processes over in Japan... all cars are pretty much scrutinized 3 times over - once by the dealer, then by the auctioneers, then by a technician.

If you are importing your 34 through a dealer though, make sure you have it written into the contract that you will only commit after seeing the car in true form.

Most will be OK with that because they are cars that they would import regardless of your purchase. Just lock your interest in with a small deposit and you should be fine.

PS: The sunroof is a standard feature - even the Glass has Nissan etched onto it.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
