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.

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
