OK it looks like i have just bought one, my questions are going to start. Firstly it is from interstate. Does it have a spare wheel and tyre? space saver or other? secondly how much fuel does the tank hold, how far on average can you go on a tank full. the reason i ask is i may decide to drive it across OZ to WA . ROAD TRIP.

Thanks.

Tony.

Congratulations on your new R, the 2012 was worth the wait. In all honesty I would employ the services of a car carrying company to bring it over, preferably in a fully enclosed cartainer. No it does not come with a spare wheel, run flats are standard. Tank holds 70 litres, how far you will go on that depends on your right foot. You could get as much as 500kms from a tank but I've seen as less as 140Kms to tank. It's an amazing piece of engineering enjoy it.

Congrats on your purchase.

CEVA logistics would be an option if you wanted to get it sent over on the back of a truck.

They can get it on with hydrolics and its in an enclosed box the whole way.

Save the wear and tear, stone chips, added KM - etc.

Another freight option is the RV transport companies like openica logistics.

The Perth caravan show is on soon & lots of trucks will be running across with

vans on. If you can jag one that has 2 small ones on & they have room for a car as well

you might get a good price.

I bought my new R35 from Sydney & drove it back myself to Adelaide.

After having this R35 for 8 months, that is still the best drive I have had in it so far!

Definately got more chips/bugs than if it had been on a truck though!

Decided to drive it back, going to take a couple of days to do it, maybe the coast road NSW and Vic, then a blast accross the nullabour.

Enjoy the drive, I just hope you still have a license when you get back to WA! Watch those aerial patrols, they are the killers. Maybe you should invest in some counter measures before you start your journey.

To save some of the wear and tear -

do you honestly think sticky tape that is thinner than paper will stop stone chips when specifically designed clear bra needs to be around 8mm thick

ossie when I drove to willall in Adelaide I wrapped the entire front and sides with clear bra. I bought the material and lay it down with a mate ourselves, was messy in sections but didn't matter as it came off as soon as I got back

I wouldnt use standard sticky / duct / electrical tape, your right - that wouldnt do anything.

However in the picture I found on google, that looks like cloth tape to me.

I used CEVA to get my new 2010 from Magic Nissan in Perth to Brisbane. Could not have been happier. IMO, I'd rather truck it than drive it across the bottom end.. just sayin :P oh and congrats on your purchase! :thumbsup:

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
