Yeah the GTR is pretty crazy. Auto suspension adjusting. It also has RWD function (AWD only initiates when traction is lost this is in the 2012^ models I believe - I tried researching into this - not much is said. I notice in pre 2012 models that salesmen and reviewers were calling it an AWD but from 2012+ they started explaining the function of it's RWD/AWD a lot more indepth and openly). The balance of the car is perfect to say the least. Everything on that car was designed for a purpose.

The graphic work is to hide the aero designs before the release - I'm sure it serves multiple purposes such as 3D design work but it's mainly to hide the "look" of the car until it's released. Which is why there was a huge following when the R35 N1 was leaked a day before the Tokyo motor show - it didn't have the paint work so all lines were able to be seen.

Unreliable gadgetry. post-89755-0-07734200-1384915227_thumb.jpg A top fueller goes 0-400 in 4 seconds, on a sht run, no traction control.

After watching that episode of Top Gear with the 959 and the F40..... that explains it perfectly; im an F40 guy, just the bare essentials, the driver is traction control and abs. Pure driving.

I wish that there were more cars that followed the F40 philosophy.

Agree entirely.

A top fueler needs a rebuild every meet, weighs half as much, has tyre 4x the size and isnt offered with a warranty

Does anyone happen to know how hard it is to get a windscreen for an R34?
Mine has a crack and i think i might get it fixed before it goes in... can i reuse the original trim or can you get those as well?

shouldnt be too hard.

I believe most of the companies can get an aftermarket one.

and they should replace the seal also.

Yeah sweet, i assumed glass would be easy enough to find. I was more worried about the trim and a possible 10 week wait or something.
Might give them a call today.
Thanks fellahs.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
