R34 Gt-Four

[jake26]

Got a pic of it with 18x9s on the front? Looking to do the same with my 34 sedan but don't know if they will be a bit sunken

Here you go, excuse the dirty rims and car.

My rotors have arrived as well

RDA Slotted and dimpled. I got a full set of front and rears.... gonna look sweeettt!!!

[jake26]

Another update:

Went into to my mechanics on Friday to get the brakes and rotors fitted. Ran into a few minor dramas, nothing serious but

There is a heat shield thing around the hub that needed trimming for the rotors to fit properly.

So we managed to trim that right back out of the way.

We started by fitting the rears first, simply because it was a bolt on affair.

The front mounting points on the other hand can accommodate Brembo's from factory. This is a 10mm bolt hole I believe, but the GTT rotors mounting point is larger, so it would need to be drilled out and what not. That's why we did the rears first.

Now, the following pictures are of the rear brakes only simply because my Brake Master Cylinder cannot fuel the 4 pot awesomeness that the fronts provide. I'm in need of a GTT BMC but I'm not sure what the bore size is on that one, so if anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Now that I've rambled on... onto some pictures of the goodies

I can't get enough of that colour hey! looks epic I reckon....

So I decided to not be a lazy SOB and get off my ass and polish the car and tidy her up a bit last weekend. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Thanks for reading guys, can't wait to get the front brakes on as well... gonna look so good! Not to mention brake better

Just a small update, Purchased an R34 Gtt brake master cylinder and booster, So hopefully when it arrives I can get it fitted then whack on the front brakes!

[jake26]

Okay, so a few things have been happening recently so I've been a bit slow with the old updates!

I've fitted a few more goodies to the car as well.

Smoked front an side indicators

And finally my new front brakes and rotors got put on! They look a treat behind the XD9's I reckon! I haven't had a chance to test these puppies out yet unfortunately. I'll keep you all posted with how they perform

Gotta love freebies!

How she sits at the moment pre-indicators

Thanks for reading

Alright so I managed to touch up a few things on the exterior. The headlights were quite bad. Last time I polished them was about 6 months ago so that was the first thing.

Left is before, as right is after about 1 pass over with the new polish.

I ended up doing about 7-8 passes either side an they look brilliant now!

Did the same with the rear fog light and reverse light. Although only 3 passes on each

Secondly, while my mate was over we tackled the rust on the wiper arms as I did a pretty poor job of spraying them before.

We spent a while sanding them down getting them prepped properly before going over them with a paint called sparkling black.

This was before

After

We had a go at restoring the bumper plastics too so we prepped them and coated them in black bumper restorer

Before

After

Overall I'm happy I got this stuff done. Makes me appreciate my car just that little bit more now

[jake26]

Decided to use the same stuff on the rear bumper. This is an in progress shot. Didn't get any final pics when I took the tape off unfortunately but it looks good

[jake26]

So clear!

I've been pondering my next move with the car lately and I've decided I'd like to price up putting a turbo motor in.

My goals for the car would be response and reliability over power as well as retaining the factory 4WD system.

Information on GT-Fours is mega hard to find let alone finding builds about them so its pretty much uncharted territory which is not good for my wallet lol

Looking at a quick run down of a few things, Ive seen a C34 4WD RB25DET NEO complete with manual box, ecu and loom for a pretty good price.

What I'm wondering is would it be a match up with my gearbox and what ECU would I use without interfering with my ABS and what not?

Gave her a wax and polish over the weekend

[jake26]

Well... I knew this time would come eventually... My pride and joy is up for sale for some other lucky person to enjoy. It's been a good run but it's time I moved onto something a bit different.

I've been researching the crap out of seats lately and I'm tossing up between a genuine Bride and getting it modplated or buying an ADR approved seat (Autotechnica Bride Look-a-like) and using that. The stock seats dont really bother me too much comfort wise but I slide around in them when I go through some twisties which gets annoying.

Fixed the seat problem by putting in a pair of Recaro Sr3's

I've got 18x10's on the rear now and 18x9 +20's on the front. Still looks good but it doesnt have as much dish.

That would look good! I would want to go genuine though if I did go down that path

Went a full genuine R34 gtr front end as well so the 18x10+18 will sit nicely with 265's all round

Very nice! You should post up some pictures

[MatGt4]

Very nice! You should post up some pictures

Currently has 9" xd9's front and rear while the set of 10" xd9's gets painted

[Keith w]

Those 18x10 +18 all round? What did you have to do to get them to fit? Camber arms? Roll guards? And do they scrub?
