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

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 :)

    • I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.   
    • Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.
    • Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)
    • Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
