I was totally put off the Bayside Blue R34s by this. But time heals and I ended up getting one.

It made a big impression on me though and I have shown my teenage sons these pictures. I know how easy it would be for them to "borrow" my car.

Sorry to de-rail the thread. If people don't want to see this, then moderators please remove.

RIP.

Article from the Daily Telegraph attached.

Hey peeps...was going thru the thread..thot id put up something from my own collection.

But i'm all thumbs up for the Z-TUNE!!

Weighs only 1100kg, converted to Rwd, giving >600bhp. power to weight ratio is crazy!! By AMUSE - CarbonR R34 gtr..aarrrrr! Everything is Carbon..and anything that could be..was swapped with titanium metal to save weight.

They went all that effort to reduce weight, and then decide to use GT-C's..

Its not like GTCs weigh the earth either. When I picked up the box with one of my 19s in it, it felt like I was picking up not much more than the box

No they dont weigh a ton, but in comparison to say, RE30's, it's a world of difference when you're also talking about unsprung weight.

this is mine, got it few months ago from japan. goin thru some changes. still a little unfinished, few things left to go!

main thing i changed - wheels. new wheels r 20x10.5 -5 rear and 0 front. some ppl like some ppl dont, meh. i like it so fcuck em.

little did i know that the wheels wouldnt clear my 370mm front brakes! that issue will be fixed next few weeks i hope, then i can lower the car a bit and camber the wheels a bit :)

still to go - carbon boot fitted and nismo z tune guards, not too sure wat to do for a wing??? that do luck one looks off tap

had the engine bay tidied up, will have pics next week of it

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
