Hey guys starting another project, selling my stagea to get the missus a new Liberty wagon and also getting myself a 4wd, so am inheriting her 34 4 door in the deal.

At the moment its still pretty stock as until the stagea sells its her daily to take the kids etc, has been an excellent car though, so reliable, in the 4 years she has had it, have done the coilpacks and thats it. Obviously done all the servicing etc to it, car dosnt have any sqeaks or anything, i have been very suprised with its reliabilty.

OK as it sits now:

1998 Model

Turbo

Auto

Nismo coilovers (need replacing shocks worn)

Blitz rims (for sale)

Splitfire coil packs

K&N panel filter

Catback exhaust

I have been collecting parts for it for a while now, have sitting ready to go:

Manual conversion with excedy clutch

JIC rims 18x9.5 +15

Tein RA's (12kg spring, not sure if im gonna run these or not yet? opinion's?)

Cusco front upper camber arms

Rear camber arms

Front adjustable castor rods

HICAS cancellor bar

Walboro pump

Brembo's from my Stagea

Project Mu pads and shoes

ISC 52mm rad

Diff shim to tighten the LSD till i can get a 2way

Nistune rom

Origin Style boot lip spoler

Also have on there way:

JJR return flow FMIC

JJR dump

Hyper gear highflow

Custom oil cooler

Next parts on the wish list:

CF vented bonnet

CF boot lid

2 way

Some nice seats and harness bar

Gauges

Plans are to use it for club level sprints etc, some drifting and also maybe some tarmac stuff. Power wise goal is 350rwhp with max response, the reason for the highflow etc is to retain as much factory stuff as possible for reliabilty and legallity.

I will try and update this as we progress through fitting everything when the stagea finally sells.

Now for the pic's.

Yeah same size on all corner's, 235/40/18's, front guards are lipped and slightly pulled, rear's im yet to do havnt had time, but my old 34 had same and they needed to be lipped, not sure how much lower i went, just kept playing with the height till it looked right and stopped scrubbing, front's are borderline without camber adjustment, id say go a 225.

Havnt had much time to do anything to it lately, jsut moved into my new house, try and start on it soon once's the boring house stuff is done. Ended up not going with the Teins and went some HKS coilovers instead.

Havnt updated this for a while as it is pretty much still the same as above, havnt had time with house stuff etc.

But finally gonna start this week.

Manual conversion is happenning, ended up getting a HKS twin plate for it.

Also got some rear traction arms coming so i can get it in for a full wheel alignment.

Will get some updated photo's so, has been lowered some more at the back, wing removed and origin lip spoiler fitted.

Its alive!! ended up getting a R33 thermo stat housing for it and used a R33 hose $30 new comapred to $77 for a R34 one...

So fired it up today for the 1st time in around 4 months.

Still cant drive it as i need to roll the rear guards and then its done.

Drove it in and out of the garage though, mainly just to see if it would move since doing the manual conversion, twin plate is savage!

Now waiting on a mate to roll the gaurds on the wkend, then drive time! wooo getting excited.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
