wedge_r34gtr

Exactly. midnight purple also pulls it off, but to get the best out of BB, it has to be painted. I think i will eventually get mine sprayed when i get the orginal bonnet fixed - I havn't decided yet. Do you have a build thread or a dyno graph - would love to have a look. Yeah 400awkw is more of a wish then anything - just to say i've done it. There are plans to go E85 though....

Someone also asked me about the rims in another thread... They are the original Impul supercast rims designed specifically for the r34 GTR. They are 18x10 and use an adater plate to convert the hubs from a 5 bolt to single M36 nut lock. The Nut has both a left and right handed thread component to prevent loosening. As far as i know, they only made a handful of sets and i've only ever come across one other set for sale. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/parts-sale-private-sales/79310-impul-m20-center-lock-10x18-alloys.html Unfortunatly, i'm missing all the impul tools that can be seen in that add and three of the rims are gutter rashed. I plan to get them fixed up eventually, but i've got my eye's set on getting a set of TE37SL's or LGMT4's in Black early next year.

Thanks mate, The last owner gave it to me when i bought the car. It had a 'mines' sticker on the box, but AFAIK 'mines' didn't make bonnets. I haven't really looked for markings on the bonnet itself, but will do when i get a chance and i'll let you know. The only reason the carbon one is on the car is that some dipshit key'd the stockie and i don't mind the look :-)

that sucks matt! Did he get a canary sticker? chookie, car will definatly be running before i leave...i'm not going without it lol

lol yeah thats exactly it. Originally, i didn't think anyone would really be that interested in another -5 build, but then we started some custom stuff (porting, fab work etc) ...

no worries :-) i would love some feedback. I've already got half a dozen updates ready to go on the PC. No idea why i didn't start it earlier and just do it progressively.

yep :-) Not heaps, but enough to make it interesting - just didn't want to add it all at once.

Work as usually :-( thanks, started it out a little vague...will get better as i update:-)

Thanks mod’s for approving :-) Firstly, I should explain that I’m running this build in ~3 stages Engine build & tune Cosmetic refresh (touch-up to paint, rims, nismo MFD etc– generally stuff to make the car look the way I’m hoping it will go) Refine (A few things that I want to add to the car at a later date) I’m moving to Perth shortly, so ‘stage 1’ as such is getting done in Newcastle, and everything else once I’m settled in Perth. One good thing about moving to WA is that if I don’t crack 400kw*** on a NSW dyno, I’m virtually guaranteed to crack it on a WA dyno lol. ***TBH I’m not expecting to crack 400awkw on this build (only running 98 at this stage), but I intend to have the build done right to support 400awkw. It’s just a number for bragging rights and I recon I’ll be pretty ecstatic with whatever I get. Righto, now that that’s covered; its engine out time: Start with the intake piping. As you can see the, silicon joiners (blue & greeny things) on the ARC hard piping kit look a little aged. I measured these up and sent the dimensions off to Mike @ Williams race services (SAMCO dealer) in QLD for new ones to be made. The pipes themselves will get a respray. I got a little surprise when I exposed the rear turbo inlet pipe – A previous owner had installed hiclones. I couldn’t think of better way to restrict the flow to the turbo... Some weird voltage stabiliser in the engine bay. The case look like it had been hit with a hammer wtf? There goes my tidy garage “ It was about this time, Paul turned up and my nice slow pace of recording everything went to shit and made way for Pauls rattle gun. Turns out it’s much faster to remove an engine with a Paul Diemer and a rattle gun. Oh no! Something’s missing. After two afternoons of bleeding, grunting and sweating, engine & gearbox were finally out. We found some parts on the car during disassembly that I didn’t know I had – Nismo clutch master cylinders HKS dump pipes A few ARC (Auto Refine Co not ARC brazing) suspension components Nismo short shift kit There was one or two other things, but they have slipped my mind. Paul deserves a massive thanks for giving me a hand with removing the engine. I virtually had no idea, and would have been there for weeks if it wasn’t for him.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/409259-r34-gtr-vspec-build/ FINALY!!! LOL Will post some updates shortly :-)

yeah true. From memory, i think you can get away with 285 on 10.5 without dramas. A 34gtr lowered due to coilovers may not.

I'm not a fan of stretch at all (but that rim had bugger all ant). My rule of thumb for the minimum is 255 for 9.5, 265 for 10 and 275 for 10.5.

nismo apparently offered mnp3 as a respray option for customer cars. (e.g. that mnp3 z-tune) Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a few special order nurs/vspec2 were done at the factory. if the customer threw money at nissan, i'm sure they would ahve done it. I also have read that 5 nurs were done in mnp3 from factory, but i haven't been able to confirm this.

PM'd blitz and n1gtr -no response. going to try ash tonight (nismoid) yeah i've been contributing to it lol

I sure wish the mods would approve my build thread :domokun:

excellent - mines doing the reverse trip next month - i was hoping there was an option not to wash it.

righto. Keen to see someone try the new haltech E sensor to see if there any good...If yours need replacin and you want to be a guinee pig lol

looking good matt, are you going to replace the E sensor or try to fix it?

Fair enough, i wont be buying till next year so let me know if you change your mind :-)

Let me know if your selling the TE37SL then Ant :-). On a nismo note, recently aquired a nismo fuel filter cap in good condition from a fellow forum member :-)

no of the friken salad!

How frigen tall are you!!! you getting photo's of all this? post some up if you are :-)

Move to Perth mate. I'll be back once or twice a yr, but without the skyline :-(. It's shit too, cause we have finally got a good skyline crowd back in newe. We didn't know where he went to the next day. From what we understand, he fell in stumpling home from the pub and was too drunk to get out again! remind me not to ever move next to you jarad. sound like you had an epic night. LMAO. NOS bottles on the roof. Is that to help with downforce as the rear wing is a bit small WTF as i'm writting this 19 new replies added!!!

righto, won't be around :-( i'm only in newe/foster for 1 more week (6-14th october) - so hopefully there will be 1 improtue cruise then. Sound like you guys had a blurry night and Jarad needs to explain to his neighbour why theres a loaf of bread on his roof lol. My family thing was about the same..pretty messy. One of my drunker cousins spent the night in an open drain/sewer lol

definatly see JEZ - met him the other day, top bloke :-) what was the date of this fang up the old pacific?
