maclarenf1 replied to GTRsean's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Care to tell where you sourced the wheels from CE28N looks the bizz too Ya, it needs some lowering badly -

Nice also does it from time to time, when idling when i read some posts on a few forums, most people say it to with the "Input Shaft Bearing" dont think it's huge worry, but better get it checked http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/305160-r34-gtt-gearbox-noise/ http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/278170-grumbling-noise-when-clutch-pedal-is-released/ http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/109101-whining-gearboxflywheel/

Thanks KOni are out in that case, does anyone know if you can lower V-Spec Suspension "not a lot" by using different springs. i know they don't came with any height adjust. The Standard V-Spec are a bit higher and give the GTR that wired looking stance or maybe that just the standard GTR S-Tunes got nice ride height

you will need to pay around 675 - 750 for a good one in Australia if you got few weeks, can import one from Yahoo Jap for around $550 with postage for one in Great nick, which is what i did

Looking For R34 V-Spec 2
maclarenf1 replied to Chopstik's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Ben at J-Spec, i imported 2 cars via them including R34 V-Spec http://www.j-spec.com.au/ but let me tell you, with your budget you will need to be patient when looking to a import V-Spec 2 also i though the only difference between the V-Spec and V-Spec II was the Carbon Bonnet with NACA Duct and Badge. all 2000 model and up V-Spec all came with the nice upgraded interior as V-Spec II, meaning black seats and silver gear surround, Any suspension difference is pointless as most have being changed to aftermarket ones anyway by now, there ARE 10 years old now !!!! 2002 models ones are out of reach as there way expensive, 2001 V-Spec II should be your target, i would have thought -
Can these be imported to AUS now so lot of them US in Infinity badge, not bad i think looks nice than a Lexus RX350 , which i think it this is going against can someone send me for sale link, if it for sale in aus

Father Of The Skyline Passes Away
maclarenf1 replied to 910gts's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I specially like the connection between the Skyline and Mitsubishi Zero connection and how these engineers were really same people who build up those great series of air craft So this on GTR.co.uk site Dr SAKURAI was one of the last living links back to a group of engineers and designers which seeded much of Japan's post-war excellence. One of his greatest influences was Mr Ryoichi NAKAGAWA of 'Nakajima Hikoki' ( Nakajima Aircraft Co. ), who was the chief engineer on the SAKAE-21 radial engine - which powered the famed Mitsubishi 'Reisen' Zero Sentoki and Nakajima's own Hayabusa fighter aircraft during the Pacific War. NAKAGAWA went on to become President of Prince Motor Co, where young engineers like SAKURAI and his ex-Nakajima Hikoki colleague Yuji SAKAKIBARA were greatly influenced by the philosophy of engineering excellence NAKAGAWA strove to instil in his workforce. Engine designer Yuji SAKAKIBARA provides us with another link between Skyline / GT-R DNA and Nakajima Hikoki, as he was chief designer of the Nissan S20 twin cam engine ( itself derived from the GR8 engine of the Prince R380-series sports racing cars ) which went on to forge the legend of the GT-R in touring car racing, powering the PGC10 and KPGC10 Skyline GT-R models of the 1968~72 period. Dr SAKURAI had direct involvement with all generations of Skyline model right up to the R31-series, and it was under his reign that the RB-series engine was born in 1984. The RB was designed as a series of engines to last a generation of development and a wide scope of variation. A straight six cylinder configuration was chosen specifically to return to the old days of 'smooth power' which had been so important at Prince during the early to mid 1960s period. There had been great pressure from higher up within Nissan for SAKURAI and his team to use a V6 configuration, but SAKURAI resisted this as a matter of policy. The new RB was to take over the mantle of such illustrious predecessors as Prince's G-series and Nissan's L and FJ-series engines. When their precious 'GT-R' emblem was revived in 1989, the engineers on the project knew that the BNR32 had a lot to live up to with SAKURAI and his team still looking on. By any measure, the BNR32 and the group of engineers which designed it lived up to that expectation, and exceeded it..... The R35 'GT-R' may have dropped its humble 'Skyline' name link and the straight-six engine layout, but the use of that 'GT-R' emblem still links it back through several generations to the engineering excellence of the Pacific War period and its peacetime aftermath, when a completely different set of challenges were faced. You can track the DNA of the R35 right back to the Sakae-21 engine and the airframe making of Nakajima Hikoki through the likes of Dr SAKURAI. I personally believe that it's worth remembering that when so many people will try to tell you that Nissan and the 'GT-R' emblem have "no history"..... -

Few Issues. Grinding Noise.
maclarenf1 replied to 97/V-Spec's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I also have somewhat similar issue when the car ideals sometimes, i can hear the grinding noise from gearbox / clutch from under the car. but if i press the clutch the noise goes away have not noticed oil pressure drop, however.. but that could be due to me only owning the car for around 2 weeks -
