Hey pplzzz,

Ive been on this forum before many years ago with a 97 black r33 gts-4 non-turbo which i sold for a 01 yellow 200sx specR and finally a 03 BMW e46 325i but now im back with a 02 black r34 gtr and looking forward to some great

information, great car builds and hopefully meeting some nice people.

I got the GTR from a new importer from sydney called EVI: Extreme Vehicle Imports and i got an absolutely immaculate vehicle! it has only 21,000kms with a full japanese service history log, not a spot of rust and perfect interior

current mods are:

HKS exhaust

Nismo suspension

HKS boost controller

ARC air diversion panel

Electronic fan controller

Nismo strut bar

Heavy duty clutch

Coming up is a race cat pipe, front pipe and dumps, apexi pods and apexi power fc: going for a nice and modest 250kw/atw for daily driving!

Anyways just thought id say hi and post some pics

thanks for the comments guyz, would be cool to meet up with some fellow skyline drivers

actually whats funny is this is my first manual car and ive only had about 30minutes driving manual cars all together so im gonna need some practice before anyone will find me on a cruise lolz

i feel kinda embarrased cos the car will attract alot of attention and people will be able to view my awful gearshifts and clutching.

Very nice car mate. Might have to hit those guys up for an R34 GT-R if I decide to go that route. Hope you're going well with the manual shifting, the R34 gearbox has a great shift action which helps :D

      Hey Duncan,  What you did with the boot is mint, I'm going to do the same with my R33.  Do you no longer like the R-Chassis?

      Just keep in mind (maybe too late now) that before you go crazy, most driveways aren't flat. This _can_ affect your dynamic camber and heights too. It is kinda funny but getting people to really align stuff right can be problematic for people with OCD. Consider a motorsport place if there's any around, and also consider you may have 'dynamically' altered your own camber after a visit to the track, which can happen too.

      So I got some fresh Kuhmo 275's on the back to replace the crap that came on this set of wheels and put them on with the front street'ers too. But man I was getting crazy rubbage on the rear passenger side which is odd as the previous crap was 275 also and was on there before I added my extra camber. The semi's are also a *fat* 265 and had no rubbing. I noticed that the camber left and right was pretty different. Very little on the passenger side. My magnetic camber tester on uneven ground showed roughly -1.75 on drivers side and less than -.5 on the passenger side.   It would have been like this on the track day. :( I adjusted the passenger arms to be as close to the drivers as I could get by eye. I then used my new fender roller to make some extra space but holy crap the folds on the guards are made from battleship steel! I couldn't get much rolled at all, they were so strong. My alignment is now off with a 30 degree turn in my steering wheel. I'll find a new alignment joint I think. Not only did the last place think my speed sensor cable zip tied to the camber arm was a brake line, they didn't zip tie them back after they aligned it which was pretty poor. Happy I noticed and did it before the track. Looks like they couldn't match left and right either.   Gave the old girl a bath and I'm always so happy with how she polishes up.

      Th 3/4 cage is bolted in with carpet cut. I plan to retrim the back seat area to have it feeling complete/GT3 vibes soon. For the rear door cards I'm using some poor condition factory door cards. I will cut up and make flat cards from to clear the cage.

      Damn, thats a tidy solution. Looks great!  I carry a Slime repair thing with the air compressor since I ditched my run flats. It gives me a little bit of calm but in the past any blow out I've had was way worse than Slime could fix.  I don't have any space under the floor at all in mine so I couldn't do what you have. Lots of folks just strap a wheel in the boot as out of the way as possible.  Nice work!
