Have seen so many cars pictured in front of this area. Where is it in japan?? Obviously a hot spot for these type of cars lol..

I love the TE37 or RE30 for your car

These are all photos from a dealership - Global Auto

Just curious Matt but how many bonnet's do you have? Ive counted two R tune nismos and a vspec 2 bonnet so far. Add that to your wheel collection and you must have a double bay garage for just storing all the gear to mix and match the appearance of your car! Im hanging out to see your "cleaning out the garage" sale thread in the parts section.

Hey Ian, I have become a bit of a dealer now in R34 GTR parts. I am usually forced to sell parts accumulated when they start to spill from the garage into the lounge room! Most parts have been sold here on this forum to other enthusiasts.

I am just obsessed with all this JDM stuff. Sometimes I buy stuff that I don't even get to fit on the car. I get enough satisfaction just owning, looking, touching, admiring them (design, workmanship etc). (I know I am weird that way!)

As mentioned, all cars posted with that particular background are for sale from Global auto. Check out their website. I frequently drool over the cars that are in stock.

Take a look at the full Mines Spec car that has been sold... Super jealous

I decided to read this entire thread start to finish meticulously,this was around 6pm WA time,here I am 8 hours later at 2am in the goddam friggin morning LOL.

That said it has been well worth the read and congratulations for such an amazing car,Racepace have done an exellent job,it truly is inspiring.

i started reading the first post on my ph at work.......no work got done...battery went flat ....raced back to my room to charge and continue reading ....the best post iv read ..

it was like xmas when matt brought new things... great job with the car matt.

Thanks guys for taking time to read the entire thread. Its great to share the experience.

Still think what you have now is killer....

Can't wait to see your work. It'll be awesome.

PS: Finally learnt how to use 'multiquote' function. Geez, I am an idiot!

it was like xmas when matt brought new things... great job with the car matt.

+1 hahaha you know someones doing something amazing if your more excited about them receiving parts than you are.

it's been said before matt but this is the perfect rendition of what a GTR could/should and can be.

Sorry to keep on posting this morning. I have nothing to do until the Grand Prix starts!

Talk about buying miscellaneous useless JDM bits and pieces. I just picked this up from yahoo Japan through once again Import Monster.

Boy, there's alot of friggin' love this morning.

Matt,

You have done a fantastic job in doing this car up , and the car looks hot in white.

I used to own a 2002 R34 gtr V-spec II Nur in millenium jade colour some guy in melb bought it. I used to love driving it however it as standard.

Thanks Bob. I am soooooo jealous of your Z Tune ownership. You sure love your BNR34s.

...Z Tune ownership...

Hey if you are after a Z-tune i know of another 2 for sale

Matt, as much as i love your gtr, if you decide to really sell it. Get a Z tune.

if you want new wheels I reckon they have to be the BBS Mines RE-MG magnesiums in 18X10.2. they are pretty sexual and so light. can't beat the hard core factor of magnesium wheels.

Personally, I love the tough look of the Work Meister S1.

But I certainly understand Jack's point regarding unsprung weight etc etc.

As mentioned TE37s, CE28s, LMGT4s (all of which I have owned) and other popular Volk Racing wheels are so overdone on BNR34s.

I am a wheel whore, therefore i am always looking at other exciting wheel matching for my car.

These were the original pics that got me hooked on the Meisters. This particular set was traded on this forum in 2008/09 and changed hands twice as far as I know. The set for sale in Sydney may very well be the same set of wheels transferring ownership again...

Looks almost Tonka (toy) tuff!

As always, I appreciate the input

Cheers

Matt

Seeing this vehicle in the flesh with the 20inch miesters on it realy changed my mind about chrome wheels. This thing lookd f***ing insane!

Hi Matt

The car that will be on the front cover of performance imports 134 is my R33 GTR time attack car you saw it at RacePace last year jack was dropping it off. This will be a great issue tuff track and street GTR's.

Hi Jason

The car that will be on the centerfold of performance import 134 is my R34 GTR Racepace HKS RB28 VCam Street car you see at Racepace all the time. Yes, it will a great issue for all GTR enthusiasts.

Just got car back from Racepace. Verdict: I like the way the car handles now!

Boring photo of Hicas unit removed. Note 5kg weight reduction.

Custom Racepace Hicas bar,retaining OEM tie-rods. Racepace logo is a nice touch.

Again, it's nothing exciting. Note 4" exhaust sits very close to rear differential housing.

Hi Matt,

Just wondering did you disconnect the hicas wire in the boot or remove the light bulb to stop the hicas light from turning on?

Hi Matt,

Yep, just took bulb out from dash. All other systems unaffected. Handles much more stable.

    • The prices I’ve heard aren’t that bad 
    • Oh, I also meant to say that it is possible to use a venting BOV and restrict its outlet down so that it does vent enough to prevent the sututu, but vents slowly enough that the AFM doesn't see all the air at once and makes it easier to avoid stalling.
    • I'll go talk to my bank manager. Either that or my nearest western Sydney drug baron.
    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
