Hi all

New member here from Scotland in the UK.

Recently got an R34 GTT, this is actually my second skyline. I had an R33 gtst drift car for a while.

R34 has always been the dream car for me and when I got my first job at 20 years old I set myself a goal of getting one before I was 30! 6 years later I bought this. 

As far as I can tell its pretty much standard engine wise apart from a pod filter and an exhaust. Cosmetically its got a GTR front end, vented wings, wheels, coilovers and a ducktail.  

So just not the car is off the road and in storage for the winter and during this time I have some planned maintenance for it

Change all fluids (engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, coolant)

New timing, aux belts and tensioners  

New water pump

New spark plugs 

New oil, air and fuel filter 

Anything else i should add to the list?

Welcome that is a pretty sweet looking car you have. Basic service items are the way to go with these. 
If you're storing it, just be mindful of your battery (mine have a habit of killing batteries).

Check all the coolant and vacuum hoses under/around the inlet manifold and behind the engine. They're all old enough now that there might be some cracking.

Check for missing exhaust manifold and turbo-manifold and turbo-dump bolts and nuts.

Pressure test the cooling system.

That's about all the other easy and worthwhile stuff I can think of for the moment.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
