New Photos Of Slinky's Skyline

[alr33x]

lol leave teh lebs alone funky.

but slinky if u get 18s with lower profile tyres the car will actually look worse as the gap from top of tyre to guard will be increased and still look aids.

better off lowering it on stock wheels better over all loook.

Funky and Slinky are getting along fine

A decent set of 18" will go well on a R34, fill out the guards so it sits flush with the guards.

Get a decent set of coil overs and lower it and your all set.

+ it will improve the handling of your car.

Depends on which spoiler you got, R34 4 doors looks better without it unless you got the boot lip spoiler, which adds a nice lip to the end.

Looking at your pics again I don't think your car is a year 2000. Either 1998 or 9. You still have the series 1 font bar and headlights. Also if you had a series 2 sedan you would already have a lip on your bootlid standard and wouldn't need a spoiler

Hey everyone,

I have finally put pictures up on Gallery of my car. I had so many problems getting them to upload, but it's all sweet now.

I suppose it's a GTv because it has HICAS but if anyone else can tell me anything else from the photos, that'd be great. Any hints, comments question would be great.

cheers

Yes - It's a GTv. I can see the big brakes up front, which need the 17" GTt wheels to clear them.

You got the best setup for doing a turbo conversion in the future - if you decide.

[iseekool]

I don't think you can get an r34 series 2 (year 2000) in a gt. Only a gt-v. That's based on all I've seen

It's the last of the series 1 R34. Nissan introduced the GTv as a limited edition sweetener before transitioning into series 2. All the GTt bits minus the turbo engine...

[funkymonkey]

GTV was like the R34 version of the R32 V-Selection series... basically a GT with all the trick options from the faster models.

The V is for Victory, FYI, as in "We are Victorious in JGTC, fuck you toyota and honda, hugs n kisses, Nissan"

says u! spoilers are love

[slinky-minky]

I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if you like the spoiler or not, I'll add photos later tonight.

Spoiler is now on (Thanks for the excellent buy, Kye) and my arse no longer looks like I spend all day in the KFC drive through. I know what a few of you guys say about the spoiler but I think it makes the rear look more narrow then it really is.

I had the car professionally detailed on Saturday, so it looks a LOT nicer, and the yellow smog tinge is now gone from my headlights.

I have been thinking about getting it lowered, but I have no idea about the cost, how long it takes, good brand springs (not top of line- I'm a poor uni student but not supercheap auto cheap either) and also someone reputable in the Northern or Western suburbs??

KRYZSUI- I've done a little reading since I read your post, and I believe you are right. Build date was late 1999, wasn't sold/registered until 2000.

BC coilovers for suspension cheap and good product.

Thanks....My knowledge on suspension is very limited, so anything else you can tell me about them would be appreciated.

[THR34T]

Yep thats a R34 GTV alright. Good pick up! everything about it is a GTT minus the turbo though heh

least you can bolt one on later down the track if you wish to

[slinky-minky]

can any one give me some links?

arnt bc coilovers adjustable and like over a grand? because theres gotta be a cheaper way of lowering. how about just changing the springs? obiously im not taking this NA R34 to the track, 3-3.5 cms lower would be pretty good hey? the wheel arch's would be filled and it would sit lower

any info and/or links would be much appreciated:)

Get a decent set of TEIN Springs.

They do a good job.

I would not put King Springs on my Skyline, but that's just me.

[slinky-minky]

yeah but what sort of money am i looking at?

[jezza boii]

yeah but what sort of money am i looking at?

Too much

I got my BCs brand new for $1200. I'm guessing they'd be around the same price for a Skyline.

Best value coilovers in my opinion and a lot of people praise the ride quality.

She was talking about just changing the Springs, not the whole setup.

Roughly between $221 - $500

[slinky-minky]

that sounds ok wheres the best place to buy from and get fitted?

[KURAUN]

i payed $400 for my s-techs for the evo

thats about what you would be paying

[kyekye]

Hey awesome to see your car up here! Finally got mine back, just need to take some photos now

I'm planning to lower my car 30mm on tein s.tech springs. Because mine is older I'll probably have to replace the shocks as well but not sure about yours. They sound like they have a good review from people on here. Bendigo Tyre Centre have them but I haven't been in to talk to them about prices yet.

[slinky-minky]

Thanks for the advice guys. I was talking to my boyfriend about getting it lowered on the weekend and I said I would probably expect to pay up to $1000 to get it lowered, so I'm glad to see it's much less then I was expecting.

Kye-thanks for the link, was very interesting. I'd be interested to see what they would charge for fit and supply.

I'll be waiting to see photos, I haven't been able to see it yet I got mine detailed on the weekend cost $150 to have the exterior only done. I'll be putting pics up once I get a nice day and maybe a cool back drop (that's better then my driveway)
