Roughly 2K for a set of 4 on ebay, so they are at least pricing them as more upper market. Apparently they don't clear BNR brakes up front though. needs spacers, so not my thing anymore lol

What up peeps. I'm really digging the style and look of the Cosmis Racing series of wheels. I know they are fairly new in the game and are an American company. Sure they don't have the street cred of Rays/Work etc etc blah blah but they appear to be quite well made. I'm liking the XT006R design. Wheel sizes are pretty aggressive at 18 x 11 +8. I currently run 18x10.5 +15 on my 34R and i def think you can go more aggressive without being Mexican or ruining the look of the 34. What do ya recon?

So i've checked both hot/cold side intercooler pipes and there is some slight oil film inside the pipe. It's wet to the touch but it's not pooling anywhere. Could only reach front turbo by hand and there was no shaft play. Rear one could be stuffed though.. I've attached a video. Video was taken after a 20 min drive, while the car is at operating temp (83 deg). Smoke is present when revving and is more white than blue. I doubt it's head gasket. Coolant level is always perfect. No hissing from overflow and has now coolant loss whatsoever. Turbo is not boosting to set psi (20). I reach around 16 psi max. But, I do have an inlet manifold gasket leak which will be getting fixed shortly. I have already purchased my throttle/inlet gaskets as well as a set of genuine Nissan Valve Stem Seals. I also have ARP Head studs on the way and a set of HKS GTSS's. Fun times ahead! smoke.mp4

Power FC Sold

Bump. $600 for the Apexi FC $160 for the Bosch 040

Unsure of Turbo age. So my first steps are: - Install a catch can (was actually thinking of Mines cam baffles) for stealth. - Drop the cat to see if its melted (see if that's why i'm not hitting full boost)... Although its a new Venom cat which i bought 2 weeks ago. Then i suppose look at the idea that its the turbos going. I had a quick look at the breather hose going into the rear turbo. I can def see some oil at the tip of the outlet pipe. It's not pools and pools of it, but enough to know it's fresh oil not just residue.

No catch can. Tuner also recons this is most likely and told me to get one (Very well respected Tuner) But what i'm unsure of is: Car never had smoke on decel before getting the new tune. Only started after being tuned which led me to think its a mechanical issue with turbos.

Hey SAU'ers. Most research points to blown turbo seals/turbos. Here's the 411. My car has old -7's with all supporting gear (700cc injectors/splitfires/HKS EVC6/zorst/Walbro pump/cam gears) Recently had a Vipec installed with wideband. Compression test came back 170,170,170,170,165,170 Car now blows blue smoke on decel ONLY. Very prominent at 3000 rpm. Smells quite oily as well. Also does not boost to my set boost anymore (20psi). It still boosts fine, but reaches a max of about 17psi in 3rd/4th gear through the rev range. Do people agree my turbos are letting go? My compression is quite good, so i doubt it's ring lands or valve seals? It's not smoking at idle or on acceleration.

New shoes. Went from Panasport G7 (which were great) but were more suited to earlier R's. Now on Advan TCII

Anyone see this?? http://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/driver-of-allegedly-stolen-car-suffers-broken-leg-after-pursuit-ends-in-crash/news-story/5b2ccd6bc2338820d6d330d746111d03

Congrats on your first post! but being a party pooper there are already 2 or 3 other posts on SAU about Edwardo Lee's Mcsuckbag... I drove past their yard today. It's still branded Ed Lee's across the building. Shop has not changed

These days you can submit the notice of disposal literally as soon as he drives away. I think its all done online now isnt it? From RMS Sydney site anyway To submit a notice of disposal online, you'll need: the vehicle's NSW registration plate number your NSW Driver Licence or NSW Photo Card details, or a MyServiceNSW Account connected to Roads and Maritime the new owner's NSW Driver Licence details, or the NSW motor dealer's licence number the sale date (known as the date of disposal), and the sale price or market value of the vehicle (whichever is higher).

Shit, sorry I meant Nightrider lol !!!!!

With respect, I would disagree with some of your statement. The 34R DOES have history. Not as much as the 32R in terms of racing pedigree, but more so in Pop Culture. Look at the major brands who have succesfully made an impact in Pop Culture. Aston Martin and James Bond Toyota 2000GT in James Bond Trans Am in Mad Max Dodge Charge in Dukes of Hazard Deloreon in Back to the future AND R34 from Fast and Furious. These cars are worth money in part because of Pop Culture. This will add value in years to come. I'd like to see a mad Holden Bommodore that is globally recognised in Pop Culture. It's only the Aussie/NZ market that really know about them.

Yep, just weekend warrior :-)

I've had my 34R for 3+ years now. Never broken down once. Has been running 20psi and 300rwkw + all day every day with only bolt on supporting mods. But I dont go limiter bashing or side step the clutch at 7000+rpm. I maintain oils and fluids every 5K or so. And it helps that I spent the money early on importing a clean, non modified example

Thought this might be interesting and on topic. Advan Time attack R34 using -5 low mounts and an RB30 block with ALL the trimmings. 440kw.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10wrUOeeLJ0

And break a transfer case while doing said 4 wheel peggerz :-)

My Emo 7 was kinda boring after a year of ownership. They are great in the corners and very nimble, but have the worst turning circle ever!!! Even going into my Local KFC or Maccas was painful around tight U shaped drive through turns... My Recaros started to un-stitch around the Bolsters and the interior is very plastic.
