  10. Well, first wash today. Paint in good condition, needs a good going over with a clay bar though. Put the GTR style bar on tonight, plan to repair some of the damage over the next few weeks
  11. Bit of a thread mine, but thought I'd add to this rather than create a new thread. When the traction control is engaged, does it do anything with the engine management (pull timing etc) or just close the butterfly? Has anyone drilled some holes in the butterfly or modified it to make the effects less noticeable but still retain some traction? I like the idea of it, but the effects are a bit harsh
  12. Missfire - the car performed perfect during the test drive, but I was assured it would missfire at some stage. Driving to work the next day, sure enough after about 30mins driving, it dropped a cylinder. Luckily I was only a few minutes from work, where I have a nice garage area for me to play with cars in my lunch hour! Upon inspection, there was piles of rat crap and rat piss stains around the coils. So a quick plug change turned into a few hours of cleaning and inspecting all the various parts where a rat had called home. After cleaning it all out, and pulling the coils out, cleaning out some more, I had the plugs out. They looked OK, a set of NGK Platinums. In went a set of trusty old BCPR6ES's, as I've had good results with these in the past. While putting the puzzle back together, I noticed that Coil #1 had been chewed up by the rat around the boot quite a bit. The car came with a spare set of Splitfires, so in went a spare into #1. All the others cleaned up and looked like new, so in they went with a quick spray of WD-40 to be sure. I always clean up the top of the plug with some sandpaper too, making sure the contact is good. I also picked up a carbon coil cover, which will go on as the stock one had been lost. It fired up like a champ, and no more miss after 500kms of driving. I'm pretty sure the boot was the issue, with the chewed up bit opening up under enough heat for the spark to jump. The rat junk surely didn't help either! Whilst at it, I swapped the Pod filter out for the stock airbox with a new element. While the pod sounds good to the Fast and Furious generation, as a daily driver I prefer the minimal induction noise from the stock setup, with no noticeable drop in performance. Also I put some rubber on the mount for the AVCR solenoid, as the solenoid ticking under boost was quite noticeable once the stock airbox was back on.
  13. Well after a few years lay off after the 32, I've got a new car and thought I'd keep a bit of a diary/build thread of it to record its history. The car was purchased of SAU member Evil34. Having known Shaun for close to 10 years, it was nice to pick up a car that I knew was genuine. Very hard to find a genuine manual 4 door. Purchased July 2013, 94,000kms R34 GTT, Factory Manual, built April 2001, KV2 silver I haven't done much in my two weeks of ownership, but the car has a few tasteful mods to it already which was a nice bonus. Nismo 300km/h speedo Nismo triple guage cluster Nismo S-Tune suspension Blitz intercooler kit Apex'i AVCR Braided brake lines Slotted and dimpled RDA rotors with A1RM pads Cusco Master cylinder brace ASE custom oil cooler Walbro pump Splitfire coils NPC clutch BBS CH 18" rims with Michelin tyres I bought the car with a few known issues to sort out. I enjoy fixing stuff anyway so I thought I'd take a chance and buy it with a known miss-fire that had troubled a workshop and the previous owner for a while. Unfortunately the front right guard has caught a roller door as well, so I've got a GTR style front bar that came with it which I'll need to repair at some stage too. At the time of purchase it had the stock Series II bar.
  14. I've personally inspected this car about a month ago, it's in exceptional condition. The car is as original as I've seen, and if the bank had have co-operated I'd be driving it now, well worth the money! I went over this car and couldn't fault it, drives really well and is still nice and tight, everything is in great original condition. I spent a good hour checking everything, the car is fantastic. I've seen all the records that have been kept from the time it was imported, the car is a credit to you Pete, it's as mint a 34 GTR as I've seen, with genuine kms which is a rarity these days. Also seen the pictures of the major service, everything has been completed to a standard any Worksop would put its name too. Everything is in tip top shape. Good luck with the sale mate, who ever ends up with your car won't be disappointed. I ended up with a mint 2001 34 GTT 4 door manual
  15. The connector from the rocker cover to the intake pipe, you can put a sealed catch can there. It works really well, as it still sucks pressure out of the crankcase under boost. If you setup a sealed system with steel wool in stockings, it scrubs the oil out of the air going back into the inlet.
  16. Good to hear!
  17. I had a similar prob years ago with my rb20, I'm not sure if the breathers were blocked but changing it to a sealed catch can setup (steel wool in a stocking stuffed in the catch can) fixed it entirely. I used to run quite a high oil level due to a oil cooler and this fixed the problem. The engine is still banging out 230 at the wheels 10 years later I'd look at the basics before jumping to the worst outcomes
  18. Thanks for the reply, got one locally cheers
  19. Is the catch can vented to atmosphere or plumbed back in (sealed)?
  20. Stock airbox available?
