hey guys!

Yea i finally got my hands on my very first skyline! I was looking for series 2 at the beginning but ended up buying series 1.

So far I'm loving it, makes a great noise and goes reasonable enough for now. It's not as much modified as some other skylines around but does the job for now.

Full 3" Jasma exhaust

Hybrid frount mount

HKS pod

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller

JE Design 3 piece wheels 18x10 at the back :P

Upgraded struts and lowered

A really dark TINT!

Also just bought GTR style grill and will be looking into series 2 front bar

cheers

nice car bro congrats

only thing I don't like is the front bar :P

would look much better with a modified 95 m-spec front bar :D

ohh and lowest legal ride height in NSW is 100mm ground clearance at the lowest point on the car ...

so if your exhaust is the lowest point on your car it has to be at least 100mm of the ground to be legal :P

it seems to be sitting at a nice height now I wouldn't go to much lower than what it is now

hope this helps

welcome to the skyline fraternity !!! :D

Min legal eyebrow height for R32 and R33 turbo models is 360 mm from centre of wheel to guard (in SA).

Almost every skyline on the road would be too low - that is really quite high.

Looking at yours I'd say it would be under that.

congrats on the buy mate....car looks in good condition....but if you were going to get a different front bar i would just go for an aftermarket kit....as changing you lights, hood and the lot will be expensive and you will look like a SII tryhard....just go with an aftermarket kit all around....it will look a lot better with SI lights and all....

Hey chops......I got my R34 GTR through inspection last week and spoke to Paul from Vehicle Standards at Regency 1300 882 248 first to find out the minimum heights.

He said that the R34 Turbos were 340 Front & 345 Rear.......Non turbos might be different.

Rang him again 10 minutes ago and asked him about R32 & R33.......he said 345 Front & 355 Rear.......again, Non turbos might be different because he couldn't find a listing for GTR's but wanted to know if it was Turbo or not.

So now it begs the question, are ride heights for single turbos different to twin turbos?.....who knows how these guys operate.......probably varies with each inspector and how he translates the rules.

Thanks again for the replies :D

I don't mind the front bar too much but just makes the car look a bit dull!

Also just bought the gtr style grill so hopefully that will make slight difference :)

No mods will be done at this stage, as the car goes enough as it is (on high boost tho! )

cheers

My info is from the 11/2004 version of the document - there may be a more current version but I can't find one.

The info you got agrees with the info in the document for R34 GTRs, and the info he gave you on R32s and R33s seems to be for non turbo models.

I've attached a copy here for all to see.

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 · Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
