What does it matter if it fades peeps? Not like you can't respray a car. And it's just a Skyline, it's not like he's taken to a 996 with a permanent marker. Props for making art out of an aging car. T

If duct tape is wrapped around something like a pole or support beam then it won't let go, provided there are enough strips of it to support the weight...it's only when you tape someone to a wall that

I've been considering getting the HID R33 headlights, but they go for a pretty penny here in Japan. found some new in the box for 1600 USD. not worth it at all. that's my Tomei Oil Pump, or something else useable.

Since I'm typing- updates today. Replaced starter, old one said goodbye over the weekend filming that video. That is the most pain in the ass starter I've ever had to replace, took me over 2 hours of pleading with god to get the top bolt off. Also removed the sound deadening that was cemented to the floor pans and such. On the prowl for a roll cage, interior sprucing up after that.

pffft wow! no shit that looks tuff with the new wheels 30profile thats brave ahah, love that last photo too!

Thanks mate. These are probably going to be my cruising wheel/tire combo, as it's a terrible set up for the track. probably will opt for the more standard 18"/35 series on the track.

Oh.... that last photo made me all tingly inside (DOF shot)... Hires plz? :)

here ya go, it's 28 megapixels though.

I'd like to thank Fast Car Magazine! Maybe when the car is done, they will be interested in a bigger spread!

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
