My mate just came around with his R34
« on: Feb 17, 2005, 01:26PM »
Ahh i snapped off a couple of pics of his new car then went for a drive. It was.. an experience  8)

He hasn't turbocharged it yet. In fact i think he wants to supercharge it. Basically bog stock but here for your viewing pleasure:

If someone could tell me if it works and resize it that'd be good

Re-sized your pics 91CA20, they were massive.

Violent - deleted your post because you re-sized the same time as me :P and no point having 2 posts with the same pics.

Well yeah it's an R34 "GT"? it has a badge that says that anyway.

As you can see, RB25 Neo something ? meh. It's a 4 door auto with tiptronic (one of only 5 in the country).

i'm sure there are more than 5 in the country, being reasonably cheap, you can pick up non turbo 4 door r34's for bugger all cash.. although a lot of people dont like the 4 door shape so that might be reason for there to not be many.

neo-vvl is nissan's version of vvtl-i

This was purcahsed for $25,700 not more than 6 months ago direct from japan and just made it in under this new 15 year bullshit.

It took nearly $6k to compliance

As for it being slow .. heh.

There are only 5 of them on the road in australia right now (the auto versions with tiptronic shit) .

you dont make a lot of sense mate.. its not a 15 year old car, the 15 year rule wouldnt have the slightest effect on importing of it. and if it were bought 6 months ago, and if it were actually 15 years old, you would have had ages to get the car in, as the 15yr rule still applies for a few weeks still.

also the prices i quoted were for complianced vehicles, but not included rego & stamp duty.

Yeah baby! ..........
Good luck with the changeover. Should be a fairly good drift vehicle am i right?
A mate of mine has a GTS-X with the 25DET in it and it was built for dorifto .. theres nothing better than pulling around a corner under boost at queensland raceway ..mm. Corsair drifto? ;p

I understand what your saying with the 15 year thing and i realise it is of no consequence to this car but i was just mentioning it because japan's where it came from etc .. They are however bloody expensive to compliance and i think on the japanese end you have to grease a few palms at the compliance centre or whatever it is to slip some high end performance cars under the radar.

I'm sorry, a skyline it may be, but it is NOT a 'high end performance car'.

 :-X EDIT: <- that smiley was not me being 'shutup' by that comment, its that I am not commenting any further cause I wasn't getting anywhere. And a trx wouldn't be that far behind, I don't want to start a debate, but like numerous people have said...they are not THAT quick.

I like these cars and they can be done up to look pretty nice.  I read a review in HPI that compared this car(1998 r34 4 door non turbo Neo6 4speed tiptronic auto) with a Vx executive and it was better than the commodore in pretty well every way(but i probably didnt need to put that in ;D). It has the 0-100 at 8.45seconds and the 0-400m at 15.81.  Sure not all that fast but a nice car i think.  :D

I don't think it was being compared to anything, I thought it was just a statement, merely pointing out that they arent really fast cars? Thats my interpretation anyway... comparing cars doent really help anything, because you could say that the pinny is a rocket compared to the right car, and you could say that it was a slow-ass piece of junk compared to a different car... comparing doesn't really work for me

I meant with this comment, aren't they a bit slow compared to a turbo skyline or something of that nature.  I meant to suggest that this car isn't really the kickass performer everyone thinks 'every' skyline is.  Anyway, it doesn't matter.
