Hello! Finally rejoined the club!

Hey Everyone,

Names Chris, been a forum stalker for ages now finally picked my new baby up and ready to get playing!

Had an R32 GTS-T with a S1 284rwhp RB25DET with conversion when I was 18 that was my first true love, then she met tragic circumstances with my brother in law and a light pole (everyone was fine... except my pride and joy)

Finally, 10 years later found her reincarneted in R34 GT-T form with tasteful mods and booked her straight in for a full birthday with a Skyline specialist to get her to 400rwhp. All the supporting mods are done, (Injectors, 90mm throttle, Alcon 330mm brakes, Tomei Cams, fuel rail, FMIC, Exhaust etc) Just bolting a low mount GT30 on with boost controller and a bit of maintenance and she will be a weapon!

Just wanted to say hi from Perth and its good to see a lot of helpful, like minded individuals!

Cheers
Chris

Nice! It looks beautiful! 

I particularly like your engine covers. 

:welcome:

Are you planning on doing a build thread?

 

Thanks man, yeah they are custom painted RB26 covers with modified for the VCT gear on the Neo, with the forward facing inlet plenum (which I am told actually loses you power unless running high boost).

As for a build thread, I dont think I will go too crazy with it, it will be all the little subtle/aesthetic changes I will make. Once I get her to 300rwkw that is more than enough streetable power... We will have to see how far my passion takes me if I end up feeling she is worthy of a build thread haha.

Thanks for the Welcome!!

Welcome Chris, 

drop into the WA section for a chat and catch up for a meet sometime:408_beers:

Cheers mate, yeah I will for sure!!

I intend on the smaller aesthetic touches and visual/electronic customization, and yeah love to brainstorm some ideas and get/give advice, so getting to know the scene in WA is definitely on the agenda! :12_slight_smile:

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
