NISMO.SKYLINE

Thank you for those words of wisdom Dean. "Sarcasm" I'll keep that in mind if i plan on selling another setup like this as this one has in fact sold. Not exactly at $2100 but close enough for me . Cheers SOLD!!

BUMP!!

BUMP!

Hi all, the following advertisement is for a complete Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T brake setup. The setup includes the following... 1) A complete set of Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T OEM Sumitomo brake calipers (F & R). These calipers have been completely overhauled. First they were sodablasted and stripped back to the bare metal. Next they were primed and powder coated in heat resistant "Bayside Blue" paint. Following the painting process, they were then completed with brand new dust seals and reconditioned pistons. All pins, bolts and clips have also been sodablasted and are included in the sale. The result is shown in the photos. These calipers are literally as good as new. 2) A brand new full set of RDA Slotted & Dimpled Rotors (F & R). These rotors are a direct replacement for the standard R34 GT-T rotors. The sizes are Front: 310mm x 30mm & Rear: 297mm x 18mm. These rotors are still in their original plastic wrapping and box. They also come with a 1 year/20000km warranty. 3) A brand new set of QFM HPX brake pads (F & R). Like the rotors, these are still in their original plastic wrapping and box. I have receipts for all the parts and processes spent on this brake setup. Also included in the sale are all the original hoses and pads. More information and photos can be sent upon request. Any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me. Asking price is $2100. (Slightly negotiable)

Guys, unfortunately i cannot make it due to mechanical issues. Thought i'd have 'em fixed by now but unfortunately not. I'm absolutely shattered about it, was really looking forward to this. I notified Scott via email and PM yesterday but i'm not sure if he has seen them yet, hence my post here. Sorry to all those affected. Thankfully Charles89 and OYEAHA will be there in their GTT and GTR respectively so the R34's will still be represented.

Email sent.

Hey, definitely interested in coming down. Hope i'll be considered for representing the N/A's. Here's a few pics of my R34 25GT. Since these pics, it has been lowered a few centimetres more and now has LED tail lights. Cheers Please excuse the dust on my tyres in these pics. The ground was unfortunately quite dusty at the time.

Here are some pics i've dug up. Unfortunately, most of them are of Brembos and not just standard Nissan GTT calipers but you get the idea in terms of diversity of colour.

Ok, so i've done some searching around and found a few threads with some pics here and there. However, these threads were for Brembos, not the standard GTT brakes. So i just wanted to gather some other opinions about what colour to get my GTT brakes painted. Posting pics along with your opinions would be much appreciated. Below is a photo of my car at the moment with the standard 25GT brakes on it. I've already got all the necessities required for the GTT brake upgrade. Just gotta paint the calipers before i install them.

Ah yeah, cool. How are yours in terms of brightness? I know the MARS ones are fairly bright but i prefer the Nismo style over the East Bear style. More aesthetically appealing to me. However, I do like the clear indicator section.

Yeah, the bloke who will be servicing my car is pretty convinced that a 5W-xx oil will suit it better than a 10W-xx. While i've never had a problem starting or running my car, i don't know much about it's life before me. So probably best to stick with a 10W-xx oil and be safe rather than risk burning oil and letting it seep within the engine. Maybe down the track if i feel comfortable, i might go for a 5W-xx oil. Cheers for the assistance and info guys. Will let you know what i end up with and how it runs.

Wow Charles, they look damn good man. I agree with Suwidji and also appreciate how you have used the original light casings. Was it difficult to convert them to LEDs the way you've done? Might go down that track myself. I've also been looking at a set from MARS Performance. Any opinions on how this set looks... http://marsperformance.com.au/LED-Tail-Light-Nissan-R34-Skyline-Coupe-GTS-T-GT-R-GT-T-RB250DET Also, Suwidji, how do you get that R34 banner at the bottom of all your posts? Would like one myself haha.

Cheers niZmO_Man, appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me. I'm in Melbourne. The weather fluctuates like crazy here in Melbourne. The winters here are relatively cold but not to the extreme. In saying that, i have never had a problem doing a cold start. However, this winter has been unusually chilly. In summer, the mercury can hits levels of low to mid 40's but that's the extreme. It's usually quite pleasant here in summer in my opinion. You are correct in presuming a daily driver. It will never see the track. However, it does have coilovers and sway bars and every now and then, i like to put my foot down and take some corners a little aggressively. Based on the number of kms I've done and my local climate, i'm leaning towards something in the 5W-30/40 range. Your probs right, i don't need to spend too much on the oil but i want nothing but the best for my R34 and want it running as smooth as possible. Have mate who has the same car as me, except his a GT-V. He swears by Mobil 1. Just another quick question, how will i know if 5W-30 is too thin? I don't want any oil seeping into places where it shouldn't so is there any sort of indication?

How much of a difference is there between 5W-30/40 and 10W-30/40? Might be a silly question but both levels of viscosity have been suggested to me and i really don't know which one to go for. I know u gotta take into account the number of kms done and the average weather conditions but that's about all i know about those numbers.

Also open to other oils too such as Mobil 1 and Motul 300V.

Been looking further into what oil to use for my service. As this will be my first service since owning the car, i want it professionally done. Will do my own servicing further down the track. At the place where i am getting it serviced, they're using Shell Helix. Haven't heard anything negative about Helix so far. But in doing my own research, i'm thinking of perhaps getting one of the following... Castrol EDGE 5W-30 Penrite HPR 5W-40 Royal Purple HPS 5W-30 Again, just a recap of info about my car... '98 R34 25GT Coupe, RB25DE NEO, AUTO, 92,500 km. Happy to spend big $$$ for the best. Any opinions?

Been digging through this thread quite extensively but still having trouble making up my mind, hence my current post. Just wanted some opinions on what oil i should be using for my next service. This will actually be my first service since owning the car so i don't wanna skip out on anything. I'm willing to spend big $$$ to make sure my pride and joy is running at its best. Through my reading, i've come across some good rep for SYN-X 3000, Mobil 1, Motul and Royal Purple. CAR DETAILS '98 Skyline R34 25GT (Coupe) Automatic Approx. 93,000km Never tracked It's been recommended to me, based on the number of kms the car has done, that i should be going for something along the lines of... Fully synthetic 10W-40. Any info would be appreciated, Cheers

Mitch, i was looking at one of these on carmate too. So in your opinion, its a good quality buy? Also, what sort of modding was required to get it to fit your car?

Stephen (RusH_) is on the right page. I've definitely done my home work on this one guys. The front bar i'm after, regardless of whether it looks like a z-tune copy, is a Top Secret Front Bumper for a GTT. However, i am in the market for some z-tune side skirts for a GTT.

Yeah actually just found that site today. Price seems just a little steep but at least i now a place that has them in stock. Too bad it's in NSW. Not sure how much delivery is. I'll call 'em tomorrow.

Ended up getting them done at SuperStop on Whitehorse Road, Mont Albert, VIC. They gave me a good, solid price for a complete overhaul regardless of condition and included parts and labour. Handed the calipers in today so they should be ready within a few days.

This is a Top Secret Front Bumper for an R34 GTT. I have been after one of these for quite a while now but can't seem to find one. Anyone know where i can get my hands on one? I put up a "want to buy" ad a while ago but no luck. I am in VICTORIA so any local places to get one would be cool but i'm also open to getting one from interstate if necessary. F.Y.I: The GTR style T.S Front Bumper is different. It does not have the side vents like the GTT one does. It also has two indicator holes on the passenger's side, one of which is used as a sort of intake i believe, but only a single one on the driver's side. I am not interested in this GTR style one.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanx for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming. I will call up the already suggested places on Monday and get a quote from each. I'm aware that there are several D.I.Y rebuild kits out there but i am not confident in my ability to do the job myself. Rather get it professionally done so i know everything's been done right... hopefully.

As the title suggests, i need to know where i can get a set of R34 GTT calipers rebuilt somewhere in VIC, preferably close to Melbourne. Some dodgy motherf*cker on SAU sold me a set that looked good from the pics but didn't tell me that he had painted over moving parts of the calipers and that most of the rubber seals were basically melted. I've already called up a few places and got some quotes on approximate prices. Just wanted to get some opinions of other SAU's who have some previous experience in getting calipers rebuilt. These are for an N/A upgrade incase your wondering. So any suggestions on where to get them overhauled??
