A few Questions

Just thought I'd post a few questions that have popped into my head in recent days.

Firstly

1.) What type of petrol should I use for my N/A? Premium? Optimax? Normal Unleaded? (in case it's not in the FAQ)

2.) What's the stock sound system like in R34's? All mine has so far is a CD stacker. I'm wondering if I'll just need to add an amp, a headunit and subs, or whether I'll also have to install new speakers.

3.) What do you look for when looking for wheels for your car? I hear alot of people asking about Offset etc. but have no idea what that's about. I wanna get 17 or 18's for my R34 at the end of the year, preferably in a style similar to P1 Buddy II's (Gunmetal or White). I don't know which rims are compatible tho!

4.) Where can I get dials for the middle dash like R34 GTT's have? My car has nothing above the airconditioner, but I'd like a few dials there! Is it easy to get the same type as in GTT's or would it be better to buy some from a third party company. Also are those dials even necessary? From pictures I've seen, I thought those dials told you things such as your oil levels, so I'm wondering where my oil levels will be displayed?

Please answer as many as possible :)

Cheers guys!

Your oil pressure is on the speedo...to fit the GTt cluster you need to do a bit of messing around as we've got a moulded dash, where the GTts have a cut-out in that position.

BTW those dials aren't really necessary for N/A as one of them is a boost gauge, mainly just there for wank factor.

Stock sound system is not that great...get an amp, sub and splits to start with.

Use the best fuel you can afford, I wouldn't recommend anything less than premium!

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
