congrats dean! i was just popped over to your site the other day, and the news had been updated. good to hear! :D My car will hopefully have a date with some canberra guys in about 6-7 weeks. fingers crossed.

just to digress a little, i noticed you got a few Apexi N1 exhausts, would they fit a R34 if it had a catco 3" hi flow cat fitted?

cheers!

dean you gonna apply for R32 compliance as well? Have a look at Altezza wagons as well (not sold in aus, and has a different shadow to the locally sold model) :cheers:

I looked at the 3 Litre Wagon in 4WD to start even lined up a demo in Japan for a magazine which I passed on as the biggest problem is enough cars to make it viable to invest the money.

V35 coupe and EVO VIII MR are a more viable option.

I reckon the V35 coupe would be harder to sell than the Altezza, since the Altezza already has an image as a "luxury model" because of the locally sold variant. Throw in the 2JZ and you have a sports engine that everyone recognises.

I dunno about V35 coupe, it'll be direct competition to the Z33, and dealers here offer a warranty and extended service etc. It'll be too expensive for the younger buyers and not a complete enough package for the older buyers.

Anyways, sorry Dean, din mean to hijack your notice.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
