You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

So... I'm thinking I had a few drinks tonight.

ended up watching fast and the furious for the first time in many many years.

first off I was surprised just how much I noticed compared to first time, ie crappy parts (mainly sparco) that I would never put on my car.

then I started thinking just how do you end up in the "scene" ie how did you end up getting into jap cars and modifying them, as 10 years ago I was all into US muscle, hell still like it but yeah.

first experience I had with Jap cars, one of the guys I worked with took me out to a MCCR "street race night in his heavy modified MkIV supra.

one thing lead to another and I've spent way too much on playing with cars since...

so what got everyone else into the addiction?

Always kinda had an interest in all sorts of cars as a kid, for some reason Jap cars I remember always drew me in a bit differently, then all that FnF/Hot4's/NFSU(I was what 11-13 gimme a break :P) shit was big and I guess that moulded my thoughts a bit more then it's just grown and grown from around there.

This is why whenever I take people up my mountain run, I drill it into their heads to stick to the left of the road and not take the racing line. Too many cars go half a metre over the line on a tight corner. Sometimes you just can't avoid it though...

Used to be into 4x4's until I was what 11 or 12 when I first saw a car flying past with distinctive taillights - it was a MP 33 GTR. As I grew older with introduction of Autosalon mags and shows, FnF etc, bought first car which was a Patrol with 30ET inside (it hauled real good) thinking I'm still into 4x4's. After I'd sold the Patrol and rest is history.

Wouldn't say I'm addicted...

But I had seen the odd R33 on the road as a kid and always thought they looked cool. Then mates in year 11 properly got me into Jap cars with their talk of Supras and 180s. Then a mate with a Civic on his Ls introduced me to MCCR. Then I saw a 180sx cruising on the road with a CV8 Monaro (they were new at the time) and I was like...I have to have one. Parents said no :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
