Hey Guys,

As you may have noticed in recent times, my Stagea is up for sale ;) *wink*

So I am considering buying an R34 GTT coupe or sedan when I sell her. Just want to know a few things first. Before you ask, yes I did search, but couldnt find anything significant...here we go ;)

1. Is it cheaper to buy an auto and convert it to manual? :)

2. Is there much difference between the coupe and the sedan (please dont state the obvious :) )

3. What offset wheels do they take? :D

4. Can you buy flared guards for the sedan?

5. What kind of bodykit does the 'Blitz' R34 Sedan have?

6. Does anyone on here own this R34...(or know who does)?

Cheers,

Chris

Hey Guys,

As you may have noticed in recent times, my Stagea is up for sale  ;) *wink*

So I am considering buying an R34 GTT coupe or sedan when I sell her. Just want to know a few things first. Before you ask, yes I did search, but couldnt find anything significant...here we go  :)

1. Is it cheaper to buy an auto and convert it to manual?  Not really unless you are doing most of the work yourself it would be more sensible to by a manual in the first place.

2. Is there much difference between the coupe and the sedan (please dont state the obvious : Performance wise not a lot, except the sedan is slightly heavier, and more room.  Manuals in a sedan are rare as hens teeth but they are around if you look hard enough.

3. What offset wheels do they take?  standard wheels are +40 but should take wheels with +35, +38 If you want them to sit further flush with the guards.

4. Can you buy flared guards for the sedan? : Not that I have seen any for sale but I guess its not impossible to get one made up.

5. What kind of bodykit does the 'Blitz' R34 Sedan have? That would be the URAS kit. www.uras.co.jp

6. Does anyone on here own this R34...(or know who does)? : Don't know who owns this. but looks good :)

Answers as above...strictly my own opinion as I have done my own research before settling for a sedan version. Everyone else please feel free to comment. Do a search on "tiptronic" as well...don't be put off by the auto because with tiptronic its like almost having the best of both worlds. Good luck in your hunt!

I don't think buying an auto and converting it into manual is worth the effort and time though. What's more, certain things might not be compatiable with each other.

Sedans mostly come with tiptronic. Not a big difference between Sedans and Coupes. Same engine anyway.

If you are looking at importing one in...:)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
