Thanks mate, not everyones taste but its what we wanted :yes:

Normally i'd upload photos as i go but will just dump them all on once complete.

Brakes are done.

Sump is done.

Accusump is done

Custom front reo done.

Exhaust changed to HKS.

Oil line replaced due to damage.

Wiring loom all stripped.

ABS/HICAS etc all gone.

Front end is all complete.

Next stop panel shop for proper fitment of rear guards and side skirts along with interior paint job...

So much getting done behind the scenes :)

Nice list of work done! :)

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on removing the ABS. It's something I've considered as some places I read suggest that the ABS systems in R32/R33/R34 are pretty antiquated and not overly useful, although other people suggest keeping the ABS is a must for a track driven car. I'm divided!

Lol its not a drift nugget so you cannot own!

To be honest i was not keen to ditch it, it will not be completely removed initially incase i want to activate it again but i believe it will make me a better driver if i can learn to live without it. As i dont have a lot of experience behind the wheel it was nice to know it was there, so without it ill just have to learn quickly!

Ill be happy to give feedback on how it goes, the brakes will require a bit of setting up initially but once sorted i am hoping they will be good!

If we ask nicely enough can we get some pictures? ;)

What would you like to see and ill see what i can do.... :)

So who did your Accusump setup? Can you describe the install? I am about to rip mine back out and go about it another way...lol not sure if I am getting too clever for my own good. As my unit is in the boost hard up against the back of the seat behind the strut tops I am relocating my valve to the engine bay..thinking is it should react a little quicker only having to pressurise 60mm rather than 2m of 10AN line running under the car

Hurry up

This..

Go and like this page -

Nice work Matt. Just finished reading all 104 pages of this thread! .. and yes that certainly was me who spun out in front of you at SMSP (South) almost a year ago now. Can't believe how much you've put into this car!

Decided to read up on what you did as my 33 is off the road for now and after spending half my weekend just ripping stuff out of of the engine bay I stood back to look at the sorry thing and thought... "time for an upgrade!" Wish I had just a fraction of the time you must have put into the build. I can't wait to get started but it's going to be a long road though everything you've detailed here will save me a hell of a lot of time.

Looking forward to seeing the 34 on the track again sometime.. hopefully not in the too distant future.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
