What's up SAU, my name is Dimi. I'm a regular on JDM Style Tuning (a couple of the GT-R owners on there have helped me with my questions on owning their cars - thanks boys)

I've been an enthusiast since the early 90's.

I'm now 26 years old.

I've always been fascinated by Godzilla since I was nine years old. I've watched it win Bathurst, i've driven it in Gran Turismo and i've observed it on the streets.

But reading up on RB26 horror stories and reliability issues had put me off for a very long time. I'm finally able to allocate the spare time and money towards maintaining and rebuilding a Godzilla of my own. Just to prepare myself, I've even gone out and started to get quotes for RB26 rebuilds and I don't even have the car yet.

I currently drive a 1998 JZX100 Toyota Chaser Tourer V.

I may be listing it for sale/trade soon to help fund the new project.

Wish me luck on my mission to find my Godzilla. Hopefully i can find one that will last a little while before it needs a rebuild :)

Dimi.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
