Hello all!

New to the SAU forums but I may have lurked here for quite some time..

So, I had some questions I was hoping some Victorians could help me with.

- Does anyone have any information regarding tall people and R34's? I'm 6'9 and have been searching around for some information regarding room issues but nothing really came up with a answer.

- If no to the first question does anyone know of a car yard that has any 5 Speed R34's in stock? I'd much rather go to a car yard and see whether or not I can make myself fit instead of finding someone doing a private sale. I'd just rather not waste someones time like that only to find out my "bigfootism" will stop me from pursueing the sale.

Thanks in advance!

33 would probably be a far better option, it's a much larger car than all the other RB based Skylines. 4 doors all have higher roofs so unless you're set on a coupe they will probably be better for your height.

Thanks for the information fellas!

I kinda had my worries that I would struggle with room so I was planning to budget in buying a aftermarket seat with some side mount rails.. BUT the main problem would be getting it home in the first place to even mount them up. Even then I'm not 100% sure that would work out in terms of being comfortable.

Also if anyone else has suggestions on cars I may yet have thought of would be great. (p.s. I don't fit comfortably in almost anything =P )

If you want, you are more welcome to try my R34, it's got super low rails with a Bride Low Max lol.

You might possibly fit height wise, but you probably wont fit into the seat haha, I'm 60kg and it hugs me just fine...

Thanks for the offer Charles I may take you up on that... Found a car to look at on Sunday after work so fingers crossed I can figure something out with the stock seat :)

p.s. your 34 looks awesome!

Cheers man :)

Yeah, no worries, just lemme know.

Charles do you use a cushion or something to see over the dash if you have low-rails?

Of course not, I just squat on my seat......

LOL nah, I can just somehow see over my dash just fine....

Part 2.

- What major items should I be looking at in a R34 for signs of abuse?

- Does anyone have any suggestions for a comfortable aftermarket seat? Ideally ADR approved. Have been looking at Sparco / Velo so far.

    • I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha
    • To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.
    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
