Hello.

This is my first time posting and i feel a little silly.

I drive an r34 and unfortunately i do not know a lot about it. My boyfriend was the one who knew what to do, where to go, what to buy and he is not longer in my life.

I would be very grateful to find someone that would be willing to help me out. Be happy to answer any stupid questions i have or help me with problems, especially someone in the Launceston area.

I don't want to have to sell it because i love driving it and i don't want to have to ask the ex for help. Plus i don't want to be that stupid girl that knows nothing about her car.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

P.s Project Dark Winter was the log in that my ex created forever ago, not sure how to change it :(

Welcome to the forum PWD, as the others have already pointed out don't be afraid to ask questions but 99% of the time the answer is already on the forum so remember to use the search function.

There are plenty of places in Launceston that specialise in Imports & Performance cars and countless threads here in the Tassie section regarding that topic and the topic of tuning so maybe read a few of them to bring yourself upto speed.

As for the name change, post here with your request :rofl2:

and thanks to other people that reminded me why i will probably never post anything again.

I so new it was going to come to this!!!

I have a copy of the r34 manual on disc if you like, after a while you get to know who is who on these forums and most of the guys are just having a bit of fun

and I am sure if you ask a question they would all love to help.

I use Rons Automotive for all major things or for stuff i just cant be bothered doing, He is always willing to help out and will do a good job at a good price,

and thanks to other people that reminded me why i will probably never post anything again.

Most people on here are helpful... Unfortunately select few are yet to grow up.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Also remember the R34 is going to be no more difficult than any other car to maintain, And i'd rather spend money on maintaining a car i like and enjoy driving like the 34.

My mum actually drives a moddified R33 gts-t and has learnt the basics about it, knows enough to get her by.

...Welcome by the way :action-smiley-069:

Don't let immature comments from some members put you off . Its an enthusiast community after all , regardless of one's sex!

i forgot the internets is serious business.

But seriosly if you start a thread build around the fact that your a girl (recently single at that) on a male based forum you will get people posting things like "are you hot", "pics or gtfo"..etc. It's only meant for a laugh

If you have an issue with your car, and need help, just search or ask. There are heaps of blokes who know nothing about cars, so being a recently single girl is irrelivant.

And most of all, have a laugh

    • Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.
    • Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min
    • It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.
    • Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.
    • All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
