I don't know what your role is mate, but if you're involved in law enforcement or investigation regarding automotive theft, then I'm sure you already do more than what your duties are meant to be, and we appreciate it. I trust you had a happy birthday! I reported the theft at Palm Beach Police Station. I have a phone now, so if you have any information, please contact ME on 0411 544 307, rather than my friend on the previous number. Thanks.

My black 1999 R34 was stolen from Currumbin Alley/Currumbin Point carpark while I was surfing this (2-12-11) afternoon, between 1:00pm-1:50pm. DATE STOLEN: 2/12/2011 REGO:CC243X (SA plated car) TYPE: R34 4 Door sedan CONTACT DETAILS: Michael Coppola 0413 407768 (a friend). Or email me: nato(dot)wp(at)gmail(dot)com Distinguishing Features: - It had soft-roof-racks on it at the time - South Australian 'Premium' Licence plates CC-243X, slimline front, square rear: see pics - Series 2 front bar - Sunroof - 4-door - Full factory aero-option body kit, including rear wing.\ - Driver's side faded carbon-look S1 factory B-pillar vinyl, passenger side matte black B-pillar vinyl - R33 GTR wheels wrapped in Federal 595-SS's - Factory Exhaust IF YOU SEE (OR SAW) THIS CAR ANYTIME THIS AFTERNOON, PLEASE CALL THE POLICE AND REPORT IT! If you are not comfortable calling the police, please contact me via email, PM, or the number above, which is a friend's number. If YOU have the car, congratulations. I left my guard down, put some faith in society, and you got a very tidy R34 for essentially zero effort. The car I can replace, but personal stuff in it is absolutely essential to me. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ANONYMOUSLY RETURN MY BLACKBERRY, WALLET WITH CARDS (the bank cards have all been blocked, by the way) AND THE HANDBAG. I need these items immediately. I'd also like to add that you successfully destroyed my visiting friends' Queensland holiday, as we won't be able to get into Stereosonic without ID's, and there's no way to get any between now and Sunday morning.

Did anyone save this image? if so, could you re-upload it please?

They love it. You will wish you had cruise control (not an option on skylines unfortunately) though. I've done 4380km in a week, across the Nullarbor and back. Fuel consumption isn't an attribute of imports as a rule, so expect something in the 350-450km range from a tank of 50L (the most I've put in mine was 54L...I think I was pushing boundaries that time ) As far as road handling, comfort, etc, they're pretty good, if it's turbo, then there's plenty of power available for overtaking, I haven't been in an N/A. Mine gets a lot of use, and is now at ~170,000km, I've only really had typical maintenance and wear and tear issues (rear wheel bearings being the most significant). A few of my mates have bought them since I've had mine, so I guess that speaks for itself.

This one > turbobygarrett.com You will need to get an experienced professional to re-program that 'drift chip' for you, to suit the new turbo, your intercooler, and the new boost setting you're running, otherwise it will effectively just be like button mashing your xbox when playing a new fighting game...surprisingly it works a lot of the time, but never anywhere near as well as it should, and often you die without knowing why. *also, can a mod put this in the appropriate section, thanks.

Quite valid points, however, I get the feeling that 32 wasn't in completely factory spec (from airbox snorkel through to exhaust tips). I do intend to check that 02 sensor out, I did specifically ask the guys at the time to check it for me, and they said it was ok, but I never confirmed that myself.

My dead stock (everything) R34 GTT on the dyno at 126,000km had AFR's starting from 11.8 going to 10.2 at the top end (ie, ridiculously rich) I will eventually be installing a Nistune board and getting it remapped to neaten that fuel map up to be a little more reasonable.

In all honesty? Go down to Smooth Garage at Wingfield and have a chat to Nicko, it was his car...he could tell you all about it.

A more relevant point is that typically when you lose it during a drift, you had little or no traction at the rear wheels, and then you lost control or traction at the fronts, and a tyre sliding perpendicular to it's designed direction of travel (in the most extreme example of slip angle) isn't going to transfer much braking force before it locks up completely, causing you to skid in the direction of momentum until you slow down. You may use the brakes to initiate the drift (a jab to transfer weight to the front), if so, you would possibly require a setup that can hold a bit more heat, but again, stock brakes with good fresh fluid and a nice midrange pad (Another advocate of QFM products here btw) should be more than adequate until you have enough experience to begin identifying specific areas of improvement on your own.

I have searched for nearly 5 days straight every night, and came to the conclusion that although a lot of people want to know which wheel bearings fit, no one actually gave us hard evidence or even a personal account of which ones do. This is what they should look like: note the handbrake bracket. Courtesy of this guy (Eu Jin):EJ's ER34.blogspot Nissan FAST reference Part No. 43210-AA100 does NOT fit. It looks like this; and is cross-referenced with S13/S15 numbers. Nissan Part Numbers 43281-AA100 for the left side and 43280-AA100 for the right side - also do NOT fit, they look the same, but the centre hole is larger, requiring a custom spacer ring to mount them. (note: the separate part numbers only mean that the screw in the bracket changes from one hole to the other) 'Elite Racing' in topic "R34 Gt Rear Wheel Bearing - Part number?" - there was no confirmation either way on that second number. CBC in Regency Park, South Australia quoted part number NJ246-A to fit R34 GTT (RWD). This is suspiciously similar to the NTN part number Just Jap quote: NTN-NJ246A Just Jap Site However, 'DECIM8' in the same topic as above: With 4 different numbers from Nissan and 3 of them confirmed wrong, and one unconfirmed...well, I'm not sure I want to pull my daily to bits just yet, and it desperately needs doing. Has anyone experienced success, personally, finding a DIRECT REPLACEMENT rear wheel bearing for an R34 GTT (RWD), and if so please post here, with supplier and part number.
