Car looks amazing man, keep up the good work! :woot:

What size are the RPF1's and tyres if I may ask?

Thanks!! :wub:

the RPF01's are 17x9 +22 all round and i am currently running a 235 45 R17 tyre.

I was running a 235-40-R17 but they needed replacing and had a set of 45 profile tyres on another set of wheels so Im running them for the time being and i kinda like the chunky look of the 45 profile :)

Cheers for stopping by!

Been pretty slack with updates!

But yes I have been doing a few things! 

To start I installed some fog lights to the front of the car, I've had these sitting around for a while and thought it'd look cool.

Firstly i started by rolling up into a mates garage.

And took the bar off

Replaced the white/yellow-ish bulbs with a set of very yellow 3000k bulbs

Test fitting

Car performed perfectly, not 1 issue all day, beat a GTR and set myself a good baseline time for this car :) After that, went for a drive up to dural to visit some family and had to sneak in a wisemans run.

I have always liked red R34s, was actually my first choice before i gave up trying to find one and got my yellow one.

Car looks great, keep up the good work. I am glad to see it hit the track and It looks like you had heaps of fun out there.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Red ones sure are hard to come by, I don't see many of them at all!

Track was/is a lot of fun, keen to get back out there!

Small update! I know I've been quiet, but in reality, not a whole log has changed on the car.

One thing I have changed however is the exhaust system. After becoming sick and tired of the drone I got a fabricator friend to get the car on the hoist and we took a look at the exhaust system to pinpoint things I could do to improve it. After taking it off and seeing a rusted out mid resonator as well as a more or less collapsed rear muffler which had turned into an echo chamber, the exhaust was a "write off". We cut out the resonator and welded another one in which was a cheap bandaid fix for a few months however I eventually bit the bullet and sent an email to jesse streeter in Japan to order my new exhaust, the HKS Silent Hi-Power, a full 3" stainless exhaust which really isn't silent at all, but that's absolutely fine, and it's a huge improvment over the droney mess I had before!

Aside from that, not a whole lot has changed, I'm just washing it regularly and driving it a lot which is a nice change really! Im hoping to get out the the Feb SAU NSW Cruise if anyone would like to say hello :)

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
