Lil bit of a thread bout the car........what ive been thru since the 14th april 2004

Bought 14th April 2004 as a dual fuel RB30e dead stocker (with exception of mags, spoiler and colour coding)

295,000 km, no stereo, $2000

Replaced things that were dodgy (fuel pump, tyres, head unit) and stayed happy

Wanted an exhaust done, so got a 2.25" cat back system done by a mate. Sounded phat as

Then xmas of 04 came round, and so did a white racing sticker.........lpg tank had never had a 10 year test done

A trip to regency and the car copped more of an arse reaming than ever, so had to spend a few bucks getting it to legal

While on defect, i got the opportunity to pick up a nics RB20DET cheap, with a 25 turbo already on it.

Had that fitted in march 2005, which was a bit of a botch job

the workshop thought a radiator hose would be good for a temporary cooler pipe >:)

got the small things fixed, had a play with it..........bought an autospoiler for 100 bucks complete with motors and a set of watanabe rs8s........got the beast lookin more jap spec

then december came round, and a lil squirt out to mannum resulted in a very dead redtop

pulled that out over xmas / new years 05/06 and replaced with a silvertop we built out of pieces (bought a block complete with head for 300 bucks, then bought other bits and pieces to fit)

got the silvertop in, then the S3 auto box decided to slip like a bitch, so i sourced an R32 GTSt box with 75k history. Slotted that in, then 2 days later the silvertop went bang. Mix and match of series 2 and series 1 r32 parts didnt help it.

Went to Boost Worx for a new silvertop to be transplanted. Shawn did a top job, binned the 25 turbo i had cos the main seal was rooted and wasnt worth repairing. (only worked out yesterday that its comin up for near on 12 months since this motor went in)

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
