Timmy's R34 Gtt

Potentially bought some Defi gauges, waiting to hear back confirmation from seller.

Off topic, here is a video a friend put together of our trip to Japan/Ebisu mid last year.

Ok so I bought some Defi gauges. 60mm white Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Tacho with the control unit. Don't really want the tacho but the guy wouldn't seperate lol, so if anyone is after one I'll be selling one soon.

I plan on mounting them in the stock gauge position so if anyone has pics of theirs installed that would be great. I've been told a bit of creativity with the brackets is needed.

ive been wanting to do the same thing but wasn't been able to find a right up/how to for swapping the gauges. if you do end up doing it could you please show how you did yours. that would be great thanks

though beautiful car though mate been following your build for a while now

[timmy_89]

Small update, still haven't fitted the Defi's, soon hopefully haha. My plan is to fit an oil cooler at the same time so I think I will do it at next service as to not waste the oil in the car.

I went to my local exhaust shop and got him to make up a new straight through pipe to take out the mid muffler in my exhaust, it isn't all that much louder, bit more crackly which is nice. I have kept the old section though so if it ever becomes an issue I can just switch it back on . The guy also fixed up a bracket on my dump pipe too as there was a lot of movement in the exhaust as the first bracket was down near the diff.

Bought a pair of Rota P45R2's in 18x9.5 +20, due to having buckled one of my rims back at Wakefield, they should be here soon I would hope. I will buy another pair when I have more money lol. I know everyone isn't a fan of Rota, but with wanting to drift my car I don't want to spend lots of money on wheels only to ruin them at the track.

Will be attending some hill climb events at Mount Panorama on the 1st/2nd March, pretty keen for this. Plan is to hopefully do clutch/flywheel after this but before the motorkhana at Easter, will have to see about funds though

Also, my housemates girlfriend is into photography and wanted to try out some HDR style shots using my car so I got a friend with a R33 to come along too and below is a couple of pictures she did

[Artic Choc]

pretty sweet editing with the photos they do look great kudos to your housemates gf for excellent shots

as for rotas well..not everyone has a bank account that can afford volks or work etc etc.. plus theres no point (in my own opinion) spending that sort of premium for a not so aggressive gtt fitment haha im looking at getting a set or rotas theyl be just cruising wheels and my stockers will get the abuse.

awesome as always mate

Are you saying my wheel fitment isn't aggressive enough?

[Artic Choc]

im just a little disipointed we cant run with the gtr boys on some fat wheels

but i do how ever like your choice in wheels

[timmy_89]

Wheels turned up today, will post a pic once tyres are fitted and I've chucked them on the car

Send me a PM instead, that way we don't mess up Tim's thread

[timmy_89]

Will be fitting to the car tomorrow after work so will post a pic then

Yep matte black. I fitted 225/40R18 tyres to these, as I picked them up for a good price from a mate (free ). Normally I run 235/40R18 though.

[Artic Choc]

any chance of a photo of your wheel fitment as of your current wheels.. theyr the same dimensions as the ones iv got on the way

[timmy_89]

Yea will post pics this arvo when I fit the new ones too.

They will fit no probs, if you've lowered the car a bit you will need to roll the guards but not flare, as long as your camber isn't anymore positive than -1
