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)?

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...:)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
