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

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

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
