Driveshaft Upgrades
Abo Bob replied to Jap_Muscle's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
This is the right answer. I paid $700 from a mate for the the lot from an R32 GTR. My traction control stopped working, and presumably the ABS, although the rear isn't really a problem in most ABS needing situations. I did it because I snapped a drive shaft. -
Fs: 4 Door R34 Turbo Manual - Syd
Abo Bob replied to Abo Bob's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Sold. -
I'm selling my much loved R34 4door / sedan. I've had this car since 2003 at which time, not only were R34's still rare, but hardly anyone had even seen a 4 door. I bought it from Powerplay Imports who are well known for their quality cars. It had 66,000 genuine kms on the clock then and amazingly still had that new car smell. The clock is now up to about 140,000 kms but that's pretty much irrelevant as just about everything is new in it. The car has: Blitz LM Intercooler kit APEXi AVCR Boost Controller APEXi PowerFC HKS Adjustable Wastegate Actuator GCG High Flow Turbo CES split dump/front pipe combo (better than any Jap built ones because it's all one piece.) Fujitsubo cat back exhaust system 3" High Flow cat Bilstein Shocks Kings Springs R32 GTR rear diff, drive shafts and hubs Whiteline Adjustable Swaybars Whiteline Adjustable Camber bushes JJR Pillowball Tension Rods for adjustable caster R33 GTR Clutch rebuilt by Jim Berry (4400lb clamping force) R34 GTR Master Brake Cylinder G4 8 piston calipers with 335mm discs Rear calipers rebuilt Braided brake lines R34 GTR Fuel Pump (direct wired to get 13.8v and raise fuel pressure) Cooling-Pro 40mm Triple Core Radiator Oil Cooler with secondary oil filter Nismo 480cc Injectors Z32 Airflow Meter APEXi Pod Filter (or you can take the stock airbox with Nismo Highflow Panel Filter) Mick's Metalcraft custom intake pipe D1 Spec Oil Catch Can with custom oil return setup (separate pump takes oil back to turbo oil return line) Engine rebuilt with: Tomei 260/260 Type B Poncams Proengines Crank Collar Wiseco Forged Pistons with coated skirts for low friction A heap of machine work done (eg 3 angle valve grind, mild port), compression ratio 8.75:1 Cometic 1mm head gasket The front bar is the Nissan Aero model, side and rear skirts are the same (I have modified the front bar a little to give more airflow to the intercooler) Original and genuine Xenon lights Fairly heavy tints all 'round Pioneer Head Unit JBL Amplifier Jaycar Dual Voicecoil Subwoofer I've probably forgotten a few things but I think if you are still reading then you get the picture. I've always changed the oil of this car between 2000 and 4000 km and treated it to the best. The engine really is bulletproof as I had it built to handle NOS but never got around to installing it. It is currently detuned slightly to 260rwkw as at 270+ the injectors are at their limit and I don't want someone buying it then blowing it up a week later because they don't know how to treat it. With the combo of Tomei Poncams and High Flow Turbo, it spools up like stock (yes I have laid the dyno graphs over each other to check this) and yet has an extra 100rwkw than standard. It currently runs 1.2 Bar as any more pushes the power too high for the injectors to cope with. About 4 years ago a woman changed lanes into me and scraped my front bar and front quarter panel. There was no panel work required at all but I ended up getting the whole car resprayed under insurance because the painter had trouble matching the pearl white properly. Bonus! Please don't compare this car to a standard engine/turbo R34 as this one will be much more reliable and happily cope with a lot more punishment than a stocker ever could. It even has better fuel economy than when I first got it! If you see idiots advertising their cars as running 1 Bar on standard turbo every day you know they have no idea what they are doing so stay away. I was president of SAU NSW for a number of years and do know what I'm doing. Please also, don't try to tell me about some other Skyline with fewer kms on it. At least 90% of them are tampered with. Hell, don't even believe me if you don't want to. I know my km are real but you don't. Just look at all the work that has gone into this car and know you will be getting an ultra reliable, quick but comfortable street car with those signature looks that we all dream about. In short, this car goes like a hot bitch, stops like a demon, handles like a dream but looks like Jacky Onassis. All this with the convenience of 4 doors and a giant boot. How can you go wrong?! $21,990 please. I don't want to take forever to sell it so the price is realistic. 0421 301 061

Horrible Incident For My R32 Gtr, Now Need Parts..
Abo Bob replied to LoNgStAr's topic in New South Wales
They should be but I've seen some that aren't. Sorry to hear mate. I feel your pain. -
Great work all of you volunteers. Well done and a very well put together show. Also well done to all the entrants for all the polishing and cleaning. The cars were a real credit to you all.
-
That's interesting. Shows the tyres are working fairly well. That's with Bilstein shocks, kings springs and adjustable sway bars. New tyres probably helped, these Federals are the best grip you can get for the money no doubt. Umm, how much closer do you want to get? Just because you aren't touching bits other than the tyres to the ground yet... My R34 used to drag bits and bottom out with stock suspension and reasonable tyres.
-
I never looked. Probably about 200 as I was short shifting all day.
-
Yup, you dun good Chubb. And yes, 3 years as Pres and 2 as VP were enough for me. Glad to have you as my right hand man this last one mate.
-
Yep, it's still good.
-
Thanks mate. Sad to hear. Very sorry we left you out there for that long. At first I thought you were just hanging out with the flaggy bt then I just forgot.
-
I did actually, and you weren't the only one. There were some very very nice clean lines there today.
-
I think Eug had an uber fun day. Np Genelle, you didn't p anyone off.
-
Yes, thanks very much to everyone who helped out flagging. It went pretty well.

Send a pm to Shell. -
It would drop it significantly. Much easier to do than putting an oil cooler in too. Those cheap chinese ones from just jap and the like really work.
-
Have you still got the stock radiator? Cheaper to replace that.
