Yup, well finally, here is my little R34 SKYLINE, Manual GT-T Sedan.. Pearl White and it is simply a pleasure to drive, since July I've done close to 15,000km in it and I'm still not bored.

Considering I used to drive an N/A auto VL Berlina, this is an entire world away from that... These pics are after I gave my car its first cut-back polish and wax.. Again, a big thats to Paul, Alistair and all of Autoworx who at the time help me with the car, big thanks to you guys.. I'm really a happy chappy!

Just a question dudes and dudettes...

Does anyone think that my wheels/rims don't fill the guards enough??

A few of my mates have said this and I kinda see their point.. Are they right? or am I delusional??

Bigger rims? Get some aftermarket springs/shocks for a lower ride height??

I can report this though, I don't know if many Skyline drivers take their rides on gravel roads, I have to as I live in the country, but I can tell you all.. The Skyline is equally at home on gravel as it is on bitumen, many of the locals that drive typically 'country' cars, such as commodores, falcons, magnas, statesmans, avalons, aurions and the likes.. None of them, and I will say, NONE of them handle, road hold and are as stable as the Skyline... Really me and my old man couldn't believe it, but it is true, and I have no idea how they (Nissan) managed it, but this thing is just simply awesome on gravel..

thats a hell clean 34 mate, good work on gettin it hehe, as 4 the wheels they do sit in a bit, wat u can do is either get a new set with lower offset, or just whack sum bolt on spacers 4 those rims, if u want 2 lower it id recommend gettin sum coilovers.

Oh, I thought it was an N/A GT-4...

Yeah, that is one thing that really suprised me too, going from a VL though, what do you expect... The VL used to handle like a shopping trolley on cocaine...

hey mate.

what size rims are u running.

like size and offset.

i have a r34 4Door also. except mine is a GTS model.

i have just put on some axis Hiro 19x9.5 +25 all round on mine. And i must say they certainly fill the gaurds ha ha

a big car needs big tough jap looking rims.

Any pics mate? U would have had to roll ur guards??

yer at the moment is running stock height so there mega clearance.

But i will get my guards rolled and pumped so that i can lower it heaps.

the wheels sit outside my guard alittle bit. but once i pump out the guards and lower it the wheels will also camber in abit which will help out a bit.

The wheels look phat as tho.

here is a pic with my car riding at full height. Needs about -5inch suspension. :thumbsup:

Hey mate, nice car, ive got a 34 4-door as well. Ive got the R34 GTR rims on mine with lowered springs, fill out the guards pretty nice. Cant go wrong with a decent set of 18s. If i was you id get some work XT7s for it in bronze. Very nice car though mate, nice and clean, good to see more of these puppies getting around. Here's a pic of mine:

    • Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!
    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
