Genuine R34 Gtr V-spec 2 Aluminium Pedal Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

No real update other than the fact I've been talking to Adam back and forward a bit and he is trying this one last guy in Japan having his mate that speaks Japanese communicate with him. If he can't get it sorted through this last guy then we will have to organise how a refund shall be done for the footrests (which is going to be a pain in the ass!).

holy f**k phil, havent u been given the run around here.... lucky im not in this group buy haha

We might have found a guy in Japan that has the footrests on hand. Just waiting to see if he can send them out ASAP. This might be it!

sorry, but what is it we are attempting to buy again??? lol...

a footrest? like a cushion on legs? a poof in other words...?

Cant believe this saga may actually end for you soon Phil...

Hi :action-smiley-069: ,i read all the dramers that you guys were having so i went to see a person i know that works as a parts interpreter and got some prices together .I can get the set for around $180 everything is in aus apart from the accelerator peddal which will go on back order and he said would take 10 working days to get to him.he also said depending on the numbers i might be able to get it cheaper again.im not sure how much it will cost to post aus wide tho,so if this helps you or anyone wants to give it a go let me know

all we are missing is the footrest, get a price on the footrest and then send the pricing to phil (PM-R33)

it may be an alternative...

As has been said. We have everything other than the footrest. Find out the best price for 10 footrests and let me know. If we end up getting a refund then we will take that option. So they have 10 footrests in Australia?

i left the paper work with the prices at work [such a dum ass] but i will let you know tomozz.i was thinking of all the other people who wanted them as well as you guys that had ordered them

For the part no: 67845ab000 cover-foot rest their is 4 in aus at $54.25 each thats no profit what so ever from me and are valued at a ridiculous $217.00 but as i said i can get 4 for $54.25 each and im sure i can get more but they will be on back order

hmmm I wonder how much of a refund we can get from cocknock from Z1....

if he was actually interested in having a good trading future with other SAUers/Australians he would give a 50% refund for us having to wait almost a year for an order....

Yep exactly.

I will email him tonight to see what the go is. If he can get them through this new guy, awesome. If not we shall get a refund and order these other ones (if they can get another 6...)

I'm half tempted just to buy those four now to atleast gaurantee four...

Have been emailing every day with them last week organising the guys in Japan to send them. Everything seems to be going good and they were ment to have been packaged and collected by the courier last week. Just trying to get the final email with the tracking number. Hopefully get a reply tonight.

    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
    • Good work Pete and glad the car held up well....been a while since I've seen you try properly
    • Just quick update, I've had tech issues and so a backlog on life stuff....I will pull lap times from the video and data from the ECU logs to do a proper update. But basically, in order of importance: 1. The car was excellent fun on the track, really felt a lot like the good old days. And nice to have AC while waiting 2. Coolant got really hot; again I need to pull and analyse the logs but the standard system is not up to tracking at 30o+ days, once the system was heat soaked after the first 2x15min sessions I could only do 3 laps before it got 110+ and I had to cool down. If I can't improve that it is a deal breaker 3 Oil temps were fine all day, noting it was short sessions due to 2. I think it will likely need work 4 Biggest surprise AT temps were fine, never went over 100, I would have been OK with 120 before I was too concerned. The auto sucks compared to a manual (of course) but it is faster to launch and I just need to downshift it manually before hitting the throttle, then it was OK. When I post the vids you'll hear it telling me off (beeping) for trying to downshift too early (it needs about 3500 before it will downshift, depending on gear a little but we are mostly talking 3/2 and 4/3) 5 A052s were not great which hurt the lap times, but I will be constrained in what I can get in good tyres that fit the wheel wells. These were small for a heavy car at 235/45/18. In theory I can fit 9.5 on front and 10.5 rear (so not square) but I still need 670mm+ high tyres in good brands. 6 Standard shocks/springs/roll bar are too soft for track work (of course), but that was always on the list. And happily, no white on the mat, despite having a teenaged passenger, extinguisher mount was fine. Also, it was nice to have Wakefield Park back in action  . Because the car was so quiet it is eligible for Green Day, which I thought was a band but is apparently a series of cheaper practice days they run with a lower sound limit, that is a smart idea.  
    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
