Yeah when I first told my Dad who lives in M'sia that I bought my Skyline (34GTT) he thought i'd struck it rich!! He said there was one in the yard in KK for RM$1XX,XXX! :)

Hey Nismo

I had the same experience as you, but when i told them that a Honda Accord & Camry cost almost the same they then realise that it the look of the 34 GTT makes it look so expensive.

Anyway the GTT is a great car and of course someday i hope to get the GTR when the price is right. Still waiting for the 2007 GTR to launch then we know what the current 34 price will be. Now is best to just mod the GTT to my satisfaction...Cheers bro!

I'm from Kuching and yeap I have seen that car in flesh. It's about 30,000kms but the asking price was about $105,000 AuD. Cars there are much more expensive than in Australia. That car is now sold as far as I know. And in Kuching, in my memory there is only about 3 or 4 on the road. If u wanna try to find a dyno machine better send ur car to KL or maybe Brunei because there is none in Kuching.

I'd love to setup a Dyno in Kuching but theres noway of recovering the costs of the dyno but then had the idea of Miri because i think i could get work from Brunei.People in Sarawak would not want to pay over 1000rm for a tune but the costs would have to be that high to cover the cost of the Dyno.

Hello Tan Sri Drift... good to see you somewhere out of ZTH.. hehe.. Hey, there's 3 cheap R34GTRs on ZTH for sale.. dont know about it tho, sounds kinda dodgy with the customs issue and all..

Guys: sorry havent been posting here lately, been spending some time with the family back home..

Slippery: Jaffri's advice is spot on, but also if you're in the Sunway area, you might want to check out places like Links, N1, Wangan & Quatermile to name a few. Quatermile has sort of a joint-venture with Autoselect Japan for tuning & Autoselect parts, and Wangan has good contacts for Tomei parts & TopSecret Carbon Fibre bits.. :laugh:

Hello guys, havent been around much lately. Just got my turbo's delivered prior to the tomei stroker kit. Now its delayed till mid next month.. :wave:

But as they say, patience makes the heart grow fonder.

Some pics on the turbos on my blog if any of u wanna have a look-see.

Cheers.

I think tis is malaysian thread. im from penang and im still in penang will going back to melbourne in june or july. in my mind i havent seen any 32 or r33 gtr yet in penang. but i have seen cefiro with r32 gtr front end and rear end before.

i didnt see any skylines in penang when i was there a month ago

as far as decent cars are concerned, there was an evo 9, 300zx and 350z....i was quite disappointed really.

there is couple 33 and 34 in penang. but u cant c them much. lots of evo in penang which i dont really like evo. also lots of evo engine inside the local prton wira.

Yeah, there are lots of Evo wannabes around... my 34 GTR has been in Penang for a while as my parents live there, but Penang has horrible roads. Havent seen a 33 or 32, but a few 34 GTTs...

Im still in the US, and some parts from Tomei have finally arrived. Pics at this link.

How I wish I was there to be able to feel and caress all the shiny bits! :) Good thing the missus is around to do so for me and take the pics.

Major work will start in about 2 weeks when the counter crankshaft arrives.

i havent been back to malaysia for ages..last time was about 5 yrs ago and no skylines that i can remeber

here are some recent pics i found off another forum...as u can see the jdm trend is pretty big there

Hello Skyline17, those pictures were actually all taken in Sunway, PJ, in front of Links and Quatermile.. Advertised in one of the car windows, Mr Kee is the owner of Links & the Black R34GTR with the Veilside bodykitt belongs to a friend.. previously studying in Perth.

    • I'm at the point of seriously starting a project to build and Arduino/mc (of some sort) based multigauge to go in the console where triple gauges normally sit. I have found a screen of the right dimensions. I would need to 3D print a bezel/housing to make it mount up pretty. That's doable. I would need to come up with interfacing circuitry for the EGT thermocouple. I'm sure there will be examples of that into Arduino out there somewhere. Ditto with characterising the output of the existing boost gauge's MAP sensor and the oil T gauge's thermistor. And then, because it is a screen, it can be controllable, so it can show more than the 3 gauges I currently have. So I can come up with a list of other things I want to be able to show on it that can be reasonably easily handled via an Arduino's inputs. I do not need this project. But the stepper gauges I'm using are giving me grief. It's time to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
    • Would you really prefer pillar gauges over something like this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-067010-haltech-ic-7-digital-dash-kit/ Or if you can spend more, this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-068000-haltech-uc-10/ I could write a thesis about how much better a modern dash is compared to a series of gauges. 
    • 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.
