  1. Dammit i was in LA 4 days ago!! they have the gtr over in america already?? and what kind of nissan dealers have it? i wouldnt mind picking up some info about it from a nissan dealer here. I'm currently in Vegas.
  2. Yeah. brother has alot of contacts in the automotive business. and a friend who imports parts whos willing to thorw it in their container it for free.. the internals are still going to be good for what i need correct? just the track work which i wish to get more involved with southern. 350kw at the wheels is a number that would be good. to everyone mentioning about cost/rebuilding what i have now.... I fully see your point. it doesnt seem like how i thought the nur engine would be price wise at first. i saw this as a rather cheep option than using what i have now. but it appears they are roughly the same if i sell bits and pieces i dont use from current setup..
  3. Have you checked out the axis model? they are the ducks nuts tho the arx is good too. the styling on the axis i just love. i am really considering selling the 32 to get out of the performance car bit and get into a bit of luxury... i beleive a place in sydney compliance them too..
  4. i feel the internals are perfect for my use... whats been bought to my attention is the oil problems. things i will need to buy and do.. looking at sump extension, which no doubt i will have custom made by a friend. oil restrictor Jun pump. (i know the n1's can fail) Head gasket. then possibly head work also.. i will obviously need another 3-4k ontop of what i pay for the engine before it even makes it into the car.. so there is roughly 8-9k spent on doing the whole process.. then i can sell what i already have to make back what i've spent. so i might be able to knock off about 3-4k from that expense.. anything else i have missed?
  5. You keen on driving up to check them out? as i can leave them at my friends shop while i am away. i will be back around december.
  6. Yeah i'm hearing you. at first i was thinking this would just go straight in, with a few mods eg: Sump baffle, restrictor and my cams. Remember, its a Brand new crate motor. so no need to replace any of the internals. Now i'm looking into this more, its not going to be as cheep as i first thought. i can see another 3-4k spending on the motor before it even goes in the car i have a r34 getrag(gearbox) in my car. so there is no difference between the 32 engine block and 34 engine block in that regard.. i'm probably still going to consider this anyway. i've factored in my selling of parts too. as i've not really damaged anything in my motor but it has seen better days. cheers Andrew
  7. Not sold yet if your interested and in sydney let me know asap. as i fly out to america on friday
  8. Yes it will. and what a great box to do so. You will need. 34 prop shaft, tailshaft modified, and clutch slave, clutch. and your in business
  9. Moray - I've probably got around 500hp at the moment. so i've got all the gear to just bolt right across Hopefully. i should have really listed what i have. I've got N1 turbos which have been high flowed alittle. 5mm bigger front wheel. and all the other supporting gear to go with them. its been abused on the track for most of its life in japan and a wee bit here. so i dare say it has some sort of baffle and restrictor already fitted.. i beleive the motor has been opened up in japan too. according to auction report..... cams, injectors, trust front /dump pipe, and i'm keen to work out what else i should do to the n1 motor while its out of the car for the ease of it. rod bolts perhaps on the list?? And also what will go across from the 32 gear i have as i think the 34 and 32 are slightly different? i'm not that keen on going overboard with pistons rods etc as i dont see the point they will run the power i have now and i think thats plenty Yeah its roughly this. i'm obviously going to buy it thru their website rather than yahoo. as its only Y455000..
  10. Hey guys, I'm considering purchacing a R34 Nur long motor from japan as my current 32 motor has seen better days and i consider this a pretty cost effective way to go about it.. i'd like to know specs on the actual nur motor, what their weakness is, and how much power would i get out of it? I know its got N1 pistons, N1 rings, N1 rods?, N1 block, N1 oil and water pumps. And is there anything i need to know about putting a 34 motor into a 32? Such as parts from my 32 motor Turbos would be good. Cams not sure about?? Injectors should be fine as with the reg Plenum should be fine. Cheers Andrew
  11. i'd be sticking it out till the better versions come out.
  12. i'd go a 32, as you said cheeper to mod, cheeper to buy, lighter and has it rawness. the 33 on the other hand has the 2.5....
  13. 2004 no good search nm35 in the stagea section for info.
  14. give me the dsg anyday!
  15. I will try get a look if i get it back before i go away, The auction report says that there is n1 but wether thats true or not. might get myself one of them boroscope things to have a peek inside. theres auction report link from years ago. And your comment, i.e. Circuit thrashed sllluuut i think it translates to. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t83683.html
  16. Well it made it to the workshop this morning. and i gave him a short list of things to sort out. fingers crossed all will be ok. if not i'm going to need someone to write me a nice email in japanese to a company over there to get myself a new 34Nur long motor. seems like its the cheepest option out of the lot. this sounds rather similar to what i had going on.
  17. thanks guys, it sounds about right what your explaining, its only been happeneing for a week or so, and i've maybe done an hours driving at most. got to get to kirawee tomorrow morning and it should be safe.. i hope! i'll make note of him to check that out, amoung other things. thanks again.
  18. usually the case with a japanese car
  19. my friend said he couldnt hear any definate signs of bearing problems. we then did an oil change, and that was that.. between the noises of the pulleys my crank pulley that looks a little out of balance, and the gearbox sounds. said its probably the pulleys that have thrown me off thinking its running like shit. feeling vibratons etc.. yeah i understand the rebuild could spell problems still. just making a note that its been done.. when i could read the top of the pistons they had a different stamp than the normal 05u on top.. i beleive it was aa something.. i've forgotten..
  20. GOH MY HOD its the lexus thats been winning latley yeah? last time i watched a race anyhoo.. hopefully it will shit all over it
  21. +1 cant wait to have the R35 sitting in my garage.
  22. this one.. is good no doubt there..
  23. She doesnt sport rear dimples... -1 haha tho its an improvement from previous models.. tho shes clearly in the k class light weight devision +1
  24. by rattle do you happen to mean a slapping banging metal sound?? but yes it does go away while clutch pedal is pressed.. i dont seem to have oil pressure problems, it hasnt dropped at all and stays very constant while driving. engine has been rebuilt before by the looks of it too. as i have n1 pistons in a standard block.. and also pushing around 450hp at the wheels.. after the oil change the other day it seems to be fine.. i should show you my box noises one day. i've not herd a 34gtr make this noise before. and i've driven plenty with aftermarket multi plate clutches.. could also factor in i have nismo spline too.
  25. it may not be the knees, it might be the legs. they are too straight. and i dont beleive i've ever had a girlfriend in that 60%
