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)?

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...:)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
