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

And wired in a little illuminated switch

And drove it home with them complete!

Got to borrow my friend's NISMO gloves!

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!

Shiny!

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 :)

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
