Hehe...

Seems like my schedule is a bit tighter than yours > pick my new car in a fortnight Mick.

Execs will be wearing SAU Pit shirts; so introduce yourself eh? Or we'll find you!

Cheers, Terry

I like the look of your car Michael BTW.

Should be proud of that.

Have you driven Putty Rd before? The last 20km are very impressive.

B/Blue R34 GT-R V-Spec II. It has bronze LMGT4 rims, but I'm swapping them to keep my gold ADVAN RG 1 wheels.

It never went to auction. Buying it off a lady who now doesn't want her 'personal import'.

Should be complied soon.

So if you see an old dude standing next to that, it's me :D

cheers Terry, i hope no-one who sees me driving around in it thinks i'm trying to pass it off as a GT-R

sure i'd kill for a GT-R but current funds won't allow for it, but i just prefer the look of the front bar and bonnet, BTW they are genuine GT-R items not aftermarket

R34's are my favourite i nearly bought a non turbo one for my second car while i was still on my P's got my lic very late in life

but didn't get approved for the finance lucky cause i ended up finding that Silvia which had a massivly worked engine i picked it up for just under $5k

nah never been there i don't venture out of my neck of the woods very often, i looked at it on google maps this arvo, the starting point is only 30kms from my houe which is good

i'll look out for you

don't blame ya, the R32 GTR front end looks so much better :thumbsup: as long as you're not sporting R badges on the back you should be right. Personally to me it's your car do what you want to it :)

Thanks dude

nah no R badge here I laugh at people who have stuck them on what clearly is a GTS it's just wrong.

When my car has one on it it will be cause it's actually a GTR... One day

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
