Here's a standard R34 GTR with a different kit on it. It's the history that is the real kicker. It was owned by the late Paul Walker. This is one of the three GTR's he owned. Rolled up to the shop this morning looking for paint touch up. Guy plans on putting it thru the Barret Jackson Auction coming up in Las Vegas, Nevada this year. Extremely clean with legit documents confirming vehicles history. attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1395173477.529368.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1395173494.211226.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1395173505.311136.jpg

This reminded me of something that came up over facebook the other day.. If only it really was a GTR, perhaps I should sell it to the USA for a sweet profit!

I apparently snuck in with a bunch of GTRS (they have since put up more GTT's with GTR badges)

Good things take time my friend. I've had my n1 for 12 months and it is still not complied.

Mine is complied now Lucas

Your idea of having a separate pinned N1 subforum might not be a bad one.

There are at least 3 reasons why that I can think of.

Hi Terry,

Good to hear you have it complied.......... Will you bring it on Sunday?

I think there should be model sub-forums. Eg: R32 section, R33 section and R34 section etc,

Cheers... Bob.

I'll come across at least for the start Bob. I'm still suffering from bronchitis and something in last night's pizza set off an asthma attack. I haven't had asthma since 1981 and I moved out of Sydney to escape the smog that could precipitate it. I'd like to bring the BNR32 across yes.

Well done Terry...........

Your patience is a lot more controlled than mine.

I think I would have throttled someone by now.

Did you end up using any of my old bits and bobs?

I hope you can still bring it tomorrow.

I've just finished the interior and wheels on mine but need a break as it's too hot in the sun to wash the rest of the car.

I'll finish it off after 5:00pm.

C U tomorrow?

Bob.

I'm coming just to the assembly Bob at McGraths Hill.

Many thanks to you, I've used the F&R Suspension + the as new steering wheel.

I'm not sure if I'll bring the BNR32 because it needs lower profile tyres on it to eliminate a bit of scrubbing at the front.

Started detailing in spots.

Labour of love.

And thank you too for the sticker which is a beauty.

I've pulled a Billy Joel Cassette - lol

Very 90's Jap glovebox gauge setup there, Terry. Will you leave it as is.. or yank it out & go original?

Hi Raj,

I like it as it is.

Bob supplied me with the boost controller too > fits into the pod.

Thanks for your thoughts - even if there are loving criticisms.

Opted for the Fujimura Splitter - Its decal spot is an exact fit with the N1 decal.

Very nice choice. An N1 with character :)

    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
    • Yes, and since RAA insurance essentially being swallowed up by the same monster that is NRMA insurance and all those other clowns, they are no bloody good now either. We dropped RAA insurance for the house a little while back because they lost the plot.
    • I can tell you now, good luck if you're with NRMA (NSW equiv of vis RACV and QLD RACQ). Because NRMA are freaking horrendous to deal with for claims, even with a normal road car. Not to mention even more BS when they're in the wrong and didn't cancel a policy etc when they were meant to and make you jump through hoops for things.
