R34 Lady in Belgium :D

Hey everyone 

I'm Amber, I hail from Brisbane but live in Belgium and I would like to introduce you all to my baby, my R34 GTT "Nozomi".

I found her in 2015 hiding out in someones garage, he had her imported and registered in 2010 - 2011. It was meant to be a 'project' car with his sons but he didn't get much further than reupholstering, getting rid of the limiter and changing the odo over. It has 63000KMs and new coilpacks, got the goodies as well that he already bought but never fitted incl FMIC and HKS hi power exhaust line. The FMIC didn't fit so I sold it and got an autobahn88 one now. The line is so loud and obnoxious even my deaf 92 yr old neighbor hears me leave in the morning. Also changed the filter over to Blitz advantage but for the time being, engine is stock.

Last time I took her into the garage, my expert told me that she was Nismo down to the suspension! And rear-right is busted so fantastic! Plans for the year is a new ECU + map, new injectors, pump etc. See how she goes from there. And also paint the covers and maybe chroming the intake.

Cheers guys!

Thanks guys! ^-^

The R33 and 34's arent a very common sight, R32's are very popular because they can be registered as "old timers" and pay a whopping 35 euro per year in rego. Insurance is miniscule as well and the engine can be modified to your hearts content.

welcome to the forums!

It certainly appears your car has the "nismo" bodykit similar to the altia kit but with a different rear bumper. My old R34 had the exact same bodykit.

My car also came with Bilstein suspension from factory, if yours is the same maybe this was a package offered from the dealerships in japan?

Belgium is RHD right? Is it much hassle driving a LHD car over there?

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
