Ericjayrol's Nissan Skyline R34 25gt

[Ericjayrol]

Hey, So I finally got my Skyline that I was waiting so long for and I wanted to share it with you guys.

I plan on joining the NSW branch of SAU and I wanna come meet up with you guys so I can learn more about my car and learn about alll the features and best tweaks for it.

Pictures below:

[Ericjayrol]

umm...

Nissan Skyline R34 25GT 2000 Model.

2.5L Inline 6, 24 valve, twin cam

93,600Km's on the clock

What else would u like to know, keeping in mind that im not a mechanic or expert =)

[Nic_A31]

Mods done soo far? and future planned mods ?

[iseekool]

Congrats.

Auto or manual?

Suggested entry level mods:

- Put some nice tasteful 17" or 18" wheels - should look good - Especially since you already have a body kit.

- Window tint

- Replace the head unit with a 4x50W system - You will be surprised how much the stock speakers can handle.

- Since its a non-turbo - put a high flow panel filter and high flow cat - I wouldn't really bother with doing any other mods to the engine - the Nissan engineers have already done a pretty good job IMHO. Well maintained is the way to go - use the best oils, fluids, filters and maintenance items.

- Be prepared to change your timing belt and coilpacks (If they haven't been changed) - If there is no record of them being changed assume they have not been - get it done soon.

Enjoy your ride!

nic, It is completely standard aside from the side skirt that the dealer decided to put on for some reason, probably just to give it a sportier feel =P

I plan to do the audio as soon as I get the money together, other than that I want to keep it mainly stock unless the mod bug bites me and I get an urge to do something to it.

iseekool, Its Manual, I wouldn't dream of putting my hard earned cash into an auto sports car, even if it is a sedan four door.

I actually like the factory rims, i've never really been one for rims, which i see as a good money saver =)

I do plan on putting a darker tint on it, any recommendations on a good place near sydney?

The audio is a definite, Im gonna get a decent double din and sub, and im tossing up whether or not to run an amp to the stock speakers to boost them up a bit, any pointers?

Exhaust is a usual definite, but i've decided to wait until I have spare cash laying around and I dont wanna put it anywhere else, then I'll do it, keep my police attention minimal, so they wont have the camera lined up when im coming from the other side of the hill =P

Thanks for the service information, that is the most helpful thing i've heard, I knew about the timing belt, but the coilpacks is news to me, thank for that

I don't like your shoes, at all.

That being said, picked up a nice example. Looks pretty clean.

I'll give my opinion on what I reckon you can do to make it awesome.

Service as per what iseekool has said.

Take off that god-awful sideskirt!!

Dark tint

Air filter

Amps can be wired into your factory setup, but i'm f**ked if i know how. Audioexperts are everywhere though.

Aftermarket coilover suspension (corners at reasonable speed is what makes a sports car enjoyable)

Exhaust

Rims.

[Nic_A31]

Keep the side skirts, get a matching front and rear bumper

[Sean W]

Buy my spare wheels imo

also, congrats if you want to meet and greet lots of SAU NSW guys a thursday night coastie cruise might be a good start. often 20 or 30 cars on a good night. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/We...-2-t190095.html

Thanks for all the mod suggestions guys, Keep em up, Im happy to get suggestions given to me.

Does anybody know where I can get a GTR stock wing? That would fit onto it well wouldn't it?

Also, any suggestions on a bodykit that would match the sideskirt? though, I was hoping not to lower it so much that I need to do 10kms down bumpy roads

I was going to head to that Thursday cruise tonight, but i've got a family dinner I need to attend, I WILL however be joining in on one of those as soon as I get a free Thursday

[Ericjayrol]

Update

Put on a new wing, when the shop took off the lip they told me I had a 6 inch hole leftover

I came down to check it out before they did anything else, and found out they were talking about the hole where the boot lid brake actually goes, so I got one of those and put it in aswell.

I will get a photo with the brake light in it during day time aswell asap.

Basically, here is a photo of the before and after:

Before

After

Make sure you get a center brake light ASAP - running without one is illegal - cops can and will ping you for it.

[cefiro69]

Drool.. i just wished they allowed 2nd hand import in my country.. clean skyline mate.

[Ericjayrol]

I already got the brake light put on, it was a bitch to hunt one down, finally found a wrecker willing to take one out of his boot lid for $80.

here are the complete photos

Looking good

[Ericjayrol]

Thanks for supplying the wing Msports
