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.

First time owning your GTR that sits right in front of you is got to be the best feeling. Very clean looking car!

so so true, best feeling ever

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

Jim

AMAZING car man, so clean and i love the wheels!!!!

the r34 gtr body looks great, additions of some nismo skirts and rear pods make the car flow a little better. apart from that, thats it!

i just got some myself from bodyform and the quality is great, easy to fit with little fine grinding and a coat of paint. Heres a pic to get your motivation up lolz

all the best and many years of safe driving

-Johnny

Wow......I think I just got motivated Johnny! Your car looks great with all the skirts etc.

I wish I had a self inflating wallet to go and buy all these cool bits!

Thanks for the comment and it's a great forum...... you guys are really great to yak too.

Theres a lot of knowledge in here for a newie like me to inhale.

Cheers & beers

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
