let me know if you do sell Anthony. My will be up for sale within in the next 6months and i will be looking for a new 34 (or possibly 32) in pristine condition.

Wont get a cleaner 34 than Ants :P

exactly! made mine look like a rust bucket

Damn financial factors!!! We are all buying houses it seems lately :P Me, Ant, Jarrad, Martin etc... Suckers i tell ya!

Newcastle thread fell off the planet? :P

Get your stickers yet Martin? I think Carmen got a pic of you running too!

Nah no stickers yet

Pic would be good to see

I need someone to edit a vid for me as well as I forgot to turn off camera and have 5 mins of unwanted footage

Destroyed tailshaft on the third run. Launched hard and when I grabbed second rear uni let go big time

let me know if you do sell Anthony. I may possible be interested in a few months depending on finacial factors (buying a house)

Yea no problem mate, im in no rush at this stage (unless i lose my job, which is a possability atm ha) more than likely be in the first half of next year if its going to happen.

Yea will see how the track day goes, but either way not sure if it will make a difference, with me getting into motorbikes and buying a house, I just dont get the time to drive the car as much as i should, and if i was going to build it for the track, its just too risky being such an expensive car that is uninsured when on there if you know what i mean, if i really like it may look at replacing it with a cheaper car that i can feel better about tracking etc..

thoughts at this stage are getting something good everyday and abit of fun (this is selling both the gtr and passat), like bmw m3 sedan or maybe c63 amg (funds permitting...) could take these to the shops, on cruises and to the track and perform quite well at all of them.

or just selling the gtr and getting something like a caterham super 7 that i can use on weekends, trackdays and hillclimbs... and a nice italian superbike to go along with it haha...

and chookie is buying an engagement ring!

all saving hard! :P

Ant yiur not selling shit :P

wheres the hill climb mat? how much?

Hahahahaha :P

2nd November at Ringwood, costs bugger all so just be there!

Nah no stickers yet

Yeah ill have to post them up for you soon! Or ill get Carmen to Bookface them for you!

I heard you killed it, meant to ask what happened lol

Hi guys! i'm just wondering if anyone has a standard turbo exhaust manifold for an r34 rb25?

Yep i do.

Yeah but you get some Euro junk and you are back to square one, you will be too much of a pussy to track it :P kidden.....

Maybe a cheaper track beast and bike is the go :) Caterham would be insane fun!

haha thats a challenge matt, if i get one of the above will see who can post the best time... i would probably need slicks but haha.

the idea of a euro car is there isnt much need to modify it (to a great extent), although i love modifying cars, its very expensive and can end badly or with a car that can be too impractical for me to use everyday etc.. and as saying, a weekend car for me atm just isnt getting enough use, but a cheaper track/weekend car could be an option, but im also getting over 3 regos and insurances ha...

yea a caterham would be uneral, imagine that thing on putty, would be interested to see if i was held up or struggle to keep up against you guys in one of them there ha.

Lol sounds awesome! By next year ill start saving towards proper rims and tyres and some aero work and start being more that just a throttle happy bogan :P Plan to hit the track as often as i can afford too hehe

Yeah i know you say that, but after being surrounded by Euro cars with Dad and business partners etc and they are an epic pain in the ass, expensive to maintain and not as reliable as you would hope! The newer models are epic though to drive etc...

Lol its like a superbike on 4 wheels! Its Martins hillclimb car with street rego :P I think you would do 2 laps of Putty to our one! You can wave when you go past and i am upside down in a tree though :action-smiley-069:

sounds good mat! let me know when you do events. I might be keen :)

Ill try remember! Still not 100% confident ill make it as ill likely break something at the track day :P

fair points, and yea the aim would be to go for the newer ones... but it is alot of money, and would only buy one if it was a pretty good daily (meaning i would need a sedan) unless i find a nice RS6 station wagon for a good price... big car but a twin turbo v10 with over 500hp would keep me pretty happy haha...

will see what happen in the future anyways... gota sort out my finances and see whats possible.

Yeah get the main things sorted then decide, in saying that i am pretty sure you have had your heart set on one for a while and if that is the case it doesnt matter who says what, you arent going to change your mind :P

hey guys. been a while since ive been on, any chance there is going to be a meet in the next few weeks. due to lose my lisence for 3 months soon so i want to go out with a decent cruise before 3 long months of walking.

Yea thats it, will see how things go.

Would be very hard to say goodbye to big bird but!

You will still see it from the other side of the planet its that bright :P

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
