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.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
