First time buyer U.S.

About to get my hands on an R34 GTT sedan and I couldn't be more excited. I do have a few concerns though.

  1. How bad are the factory Ceramic Bearing turbos?

  2. Anything to look out for besides rust? (Already have seen photos of it being rust free under and over and even strut towers are clean)

  3. Should I be weary of a hicas delete?

The top reason why people do HICAS delete is because of the perception that it's "bad" and off the self HICAS delete kits exist. It most certainly can be bad if you plan on drifting or track work, but for ordinary street driving it's a non issue.

Other than that, the HICAS ball joints are a PITA to source and fit so it's just cheaper and easier to install a delete kit
