If I want it to be 100%, I'll need to piss at least 10k on it.

I need to piss the dynamat off, previous owner had it covered in boot including 4wd and HICAS ecu... Stereo wiring to be binned, sound deadener removed, louder exhaust required, new wheels, 100k service, rip the hicas off, list goes on...

That shit you listed will take half a day to do.

Theres a reason why r32's are selling cheap and you have to be pretty silly to buy one and not expecting to work on it.

Go buy a Toyota Corolla if you dont want any hassles

lol i dont want to spin all 4 wheels, easier to buy an RB20DE and swap it in.

i dont wanna go fast, i dont wanna track it( yet) happy as long as its a skyline

you're missing the point. Your gts4 has a 4wd drivetrain. Including all the heavy bits involved which, as noted, become useless because the na won't produce enough power to drag the heavy ass body around in 4wd and the extra weight and less power will mean a barina will probably win in a drag race.

AE86 for da sidz yo!

:laugh:

sudden infant death is all the rage these days with the muzteks maccas employees?

You missed the part where I'm a red p Plater that is not interested in dragging people. Rb20det is already slow as it is

think you missed the point where even Nissan went "shit this thing is slow as, alright, lets make it standard with a turbo and not have an N/A option." You seem to want to do what even Nissan didn't want to. Shiet bitch, you mad!

hence why the R33 GTS4 and R34 GT-4 had no turbo, cos the 2.5l n/a met their power to weight ratio requirement. GTS4 and GT-4's were meant to tow shit and be passenger taxi's you took to the snow. They weren't meant to be sports cars, they got the worst of all the models, small engines, heavy drivetrain power loss, heavy chassis/suspension etc. You pretty much buy one as a daily to tow shit around, or pull almost everything out of it and replace it with GTR guts to make a GTR sedan. No one in their right mind buys a standard GTS4 and thinks it's a great sports car.

turned the car on today and its knocking from the back of the motor.

just a slight knock but it changed with light revs. :/

turned car off straight away

and what the hell should i do if it's more :/

why would it be worth any more then what you bought it for lol, i tried the same thing when selling mine, for lols i put it up for 14k, ended up reducing it to 10, and getting 9.5k for it in the end

maybe chuck it up for 6.5, if no bites in a fortnight then gonna have to put it down, also depends on how desperately you want to sell it, took me about 1 month or so to sell mine.

if anything you paid too much for that car. cut losses and sell for what you bought it for a $100 less, at least that way some cheap dropkick will buy it, just like you did.

otherwise you'll end up with a car you can't drive that you can't sell, with no money to buy another.

    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily  
    • Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
    • I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).
    • yeah, a black 4 door HR, stock AT RB20DE. Was a pretty good daily summer car, it was kept in a garage during winter but previous owner was fighting rust so most of the car was covered with rust undercoating, the trunk, floorpan, it started to rust underneath so I thought it would be better to find other chassis that was taken care better and do rust preventions myself, at least I would know where keep my attention at. Plans are simple, enjoy the car as much as I can, mostly on summer of course, winter here is long and not kind to 90s JDM, I wanna keep it mostly stock like, I'm not a huge fan of GT-R look or any body kits so gonna keep it as metal as possible haha, something more balanced look wise and yeah, work on performance, I was thinking about RB25DET but 20DET actually feels fun, as long as it's reliable I think I might keep it.
