cool build, great to see some nicely built 25GTt's.

definitely invest in some good tyres, coilovers and arms/bushes,will make a bigger difference to laptimes than a bit more power (though obviously you want to sort the restriction out first..)

ive got cusco arms, great build quality and got a perfect alignment with them, car feels great on the track.http://www.cusco.co.jp/en/catalog/pdf_catalogue_suspension_parts.html

nagisa auto also do a bunch of arms for R34 25GTt http://www.nagisa-auto.com/products.html

i'd order throught jessestreeter, should be able to get the stuff for a reasonable price for made-in-japan quality. my 2c.

Cheers :thumbsup:

New suspension setup & a 1.5way diff are definitely on the cards next!

I have some Hankook RS-3 ready to go on which should be good

Cheers for links! It will be helpful once I shop around for parts :)

thats a really nice colour.

+1 to endless list of things to do on car. But then again, if you ran out it would be less exciting and interesting

Ahh Leroy you and I know that feel

Also

Live updates from Vu @ DT Panels. Great service :D

DT Panels had to custom cut the side skirts from the kit as they were made to fit the GTT guards from the old kit. Final result! Good result! and saves me time and money to find impossible GTR side skirts!

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
