R34 Non Turbo Auto

Was just wondering how fast an R34 non-turbo with auto transmission is? Im not too fussed about turbos, but if the car is too slow (for my liking) without one, then I'll just have to stick with turbos.

Oh and Im referring to the coupe, the sedan is disgustingly ugly. And while I could learn to drive manual if I wanted to since Im only buying a car at the end of the year, its just one more distraction to have to put up with and I might not be the only one driving it.

And one more thing, how much space is there for rear passengers? I don't really care if they are comfortable or not, so long as they can fit without making me really uncomfortable when driving (Im 5'11").

Had a GTT for about 3 months now, and here's my comment on the rear space - USELESS!!! Unless of course you plan to just keep your shopping or pet in there, or if you have tiny Asian friends who are usually only 5 foot tall :) (I'm Asian, I'm allowed to say this :()

Nah seriously, if you are wanting to fit more than 2 into a Skyline, get the sedan!

Im in Sydney. Im sure there are plenty of places that sell Skylines here, but Im not sure how kindly they would take to someone who isn't ready to buy yet.

Well, I definitely wouldn't let any tall people in the back. And I don't think a Skyline would be as bad for rear space as some other coupes out there (like the 200SX or 300ZX for example) because it has a comparitively large wheelbase.

I guess the only way to really know is to go check one out, but Ive never done this before so I don't know if the sellers would tell me to get lost unless I was serious about buying.

If they tell you to get lost just because you want to look and potentially buy, then tell them to GET f**kED!

Which part of Sydney are you in? Close to the North? Check out www.northshoreprestige.com.au and see if you like anything from there!

bwahaha :lol: Well, I'm just under 5'8 an some of mah fellow asian friends are taller than I am.

Sometimes they hit their head on the rear windscreen when I accelerate too hard. R33 though, don't know the difference in rear seat between r34-r33

I find that my passengers who are unlucky enough to sit in the back usually hit their heads on the back pillar between the door glass and the back windscreen?

On the R34 they are just thick enough so any slight head movement is met with solid plastic :)

I'm lucky, I'm only 5'6 or so, not too bothered about the lack of space. All you tall giants, I pity you - now you see why they said there are advantages to being short? :(

Thanks for that. I live in Western Sydney, but this looks like a good place to buy from.

And yes they do have something I like. This is the sort of thing I was after:

Non turbo coupe with the flip up tv screen.

And this one looks good too:

Excellent... I saw that one at the place a few weeks after mine was delivered! The colour made me jealous :)

Good luck with the purchase.

Not that it will help much or at all :), but just say Stan recommended you to look at the cars there... even if there is no discount, they'll offer the best service to you :)

they arent that small

ive had a full car many times.. ive had ppl as tall as 6' in the back (r32 gtst and r33 gtst) and they fit fine..

both are quite spacious for coupes.. look at a supra or an fto.. no chance of even a little 5' person fitting tehre

Ok, well I got the answers I was looking for.

Autospeed has an article on the R34 but you have to register to be able to see it. The back seat can "fit" people, but not comfortably. As if they would care anyway when they are in a Skyline.

The turbo auto does mid to high 7s from 0-100kmh (with 2 people on board), so I don't have high hopes for the non turbo. So that settles it, I'll just have to get a turbo model.

Its going to be frustrating though waiting another 4 months to buy one. At least it will be worth it in the end.

I had 5 people in my r34 2 door once including me. It wasn't the worse thing in the world. The person in the rear middle seat had to duck there head otherwise they would hit the roof. And myself and the passanger next to me had to have our seats a fair ways fowards so they had some leg room.

Which made it uncomfortable driving being so close the pedals and wheel.

In other words it can be done. And when your car is full of chicks it can be quite injoyable.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
