Hi Guys & Girls, ive been lurking around this forum for a rather long time. But I am finally in a position to get myself my most loved car, a R34 Gt-t. Being a huge n00b when it comes to the skyline, I am looking for as much help and guidance as your all willing to share with me. :)

So far I have been looking at getting my r34 from either Distinctive Imports or Autoworx, and i was wondering what peoples feeling where of these 2 dealers? Good and bad experiences would be good, however from what ive read the bad usually isnt recommended to be posted here. So if its really bad could you PM me and let me know about your experiences?!

both are respectable businesses but my vote would have to go to autoworx. alastair will look after you.

i've dealt with and bought parts from both and will never buy from reagan (distinctive) again, parts were fine but hes a bit of a knobhead sometimes

Well Autoworx is a SAUWA sponsor... Haven't dealt with either of them in terms of car purchases, but i purchased some parts from Autoworx and they were really good, really professional.

Im +1 for Autoworx, but i think you should check both of them out, decide which one you feel more comfortable with or which one has a car that you really like.

Good luck bud :)

Distinctive Imports!!

I bought my R34 GT-T there and couldn't be happier with it. The condition of the car itself was immaculate apart from very minor paint scratching on the passenger door which Regan willingly pointed out (I never even noticed it). After negotiation with Regan and Shaun, I got a full alarm system and built in turbo timer included with the purchase price of the vehicle. After I bought my 34, I decided to get a FMIC, 3" Stainless-steel turbo back exhaust system, front bar and TEIN shocks+springs put in. All of this work was done at Kensei garage (part of DC Imports). All modifications were done by Shaun and I have to say I was really happy with the service and effort they put in to my car. After the front bar had a trial fit with the intercooler, they had the bar painted and ready to fit up. When everything was mounted properly, they still had a few problems getting the front bar to sit nicely. Thus they endeavoured to make modifications to the front bar and intercooler mounting to make everything sit nice and flush and basically perfect! All parts were ordered in quickly and I was able to pick up the car earlier than I had arranged for. During the time my car was at Kensei/DC Imports, one of the interior lights wasn't working at all and Shaun kindly fixed that at no cost.

Regan also gave me good prices on the front bar and the tein shocks and springs he had lying around. DC Imports definitely have amazing after-purchase service and take care of their customers. Would highly recommend them!

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
