After years of looking at these I finally have my dream car home. It had a fuel issue when I got it but all good now.

I'm so happy I can't beleive it's actually here.

After much analysis and wire following it's finally home. Sam (Dr Drift) in Melbourne found a few dodgy components in the ECU that weren't talking to the fuel pump

and pulsing the injectors and replaced them and she is 100% factory spec engine wise.

The only mod is the set of 18" Volk wheels.

Time to have some fun.......yee ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some "wanker-Graph of the new pup.

Thanks to all you guys who helped me with the fuel pum probs. Much appreciated.

Thanks Danny, thanks for the message. I'm as happy as a cop in the proverbial !!!!!!! As for as mods go I have to let the wallet re-inflate itself, it was really a

tough time to buy this thing and I really took a big hit buying it but it is so original apart from the wheels and only has 65K on the clock I just HAD to have it.

Being un-modded I can at least do it how I want to and not have to remove or replace somebody else's preferences but as they say all good things happen in time.

I know all it's history too and actually bought it in from the USA.........my cousin is a classic car dealer there, Shelby Mustangs, Hemi 'Cudas, Corvettes etc

and all that American muscle stuff but het stumbled on this and offered it to me.

The leader of the opposition (wife) was not too impressed but she figures at least it's not another woman so it's cool.

(Mind you....I'll probably spend more money on the R34 than the other fictitious woman!)

Hope to hear from you again soon,

Cheers & beers

Thanks FrangaR33. At the moment I'm going to leave the exterior exactly as is, I can't see a reason to change anything.

Once I get spare folders I might put a few " persuasive parts"

under the bonne just for a bit more nudge.

To be brutally honest, with the suspension kit that's already on it and 18" X 10" wheels all round it drives like a dream.

Cheers & beers

Thanks Ten, I'm not going to smoke you on the BAR wheels (I like 'em too) It's your preference, horses for courses.....all personal taste.

Funny thing though, had it not come with the Volk wheels I was gonna put 'em on anyway !!!

Cheers

You guessed right SS8_Gohan, from the good ol' USA. My cousin is a classic car dealer there and tried to

start a cult following on these but no go so I bit the bullet and told him to send it!

As far as price I cant say here and I haven't had 10 posts yet so I can't send PM's yet but

I'll PM you on that at a later date.

Cheers

Wait till you get a 3" / 3.5" turbo back exhaust as that will open it up more with response and power.

Looks great!

Welldone.

Great colour

Great car

I still take a 5 sec look at my car in the garage at times haha

Do you look in the rear vision mirror at times to check your shave and then catch yourself still smiling??? :(

Yeah ......quite a few few heads have told me you can get quite a bit more response out of these when they "Breathe" better !

After me and my wallet recover from the buy that's probably one of the first things I'll look at.

Cheers

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
