Anyone ever heard of these guy's?http://www.slideindustries.com.au/product_p/tk-ni-rb.htm

He claims the turbo's and manifold are not made in China.

I've heard of them... Tats too... wouldn't know about the made in China thing though.

Not sure if coincidence but there used to be a place called Sliding Performance in Brisbane that used to sell performance parts.

I'd be wanting to know if they're the same place cause those guys stuffed me and a lot of guys around on orders before they were removed as SAU sponsors.

THE CAR IS READY!

Finally! :rolleyes:

I think you need to chuck a sickie and go get it.

Not sure on insurance as I'm Old, but Shannons works for me.

Who is the 33 insured thru? Hit them up.

THE CAR IS READY!

Going to hopefully pick it up Friday or organise someone to pick it up tomorrow.

Now suggestions for comprehensive insurance for a 23 year old male with no crash/suspension history?

Have you organised someone to pick it up for you? where is it located? If you need a lift tomorrow let me know

Nick was nice enough to sell me his R34 GTR VSPEC II NUR model kit. So got some things to help me out and build it !!!

I'll be going a Bayside blue (Redbull blue) instead of MJade as they didn't have the colour :(

So I got to see/drive the car for tonight. Staying at my Aunty and uncles and it's parked out the front.

I was filled with excitement and the car looks amazing, the paint is great and I love the pearl in the dark. First impressions when I went for a drive was that surprisingly enough my 33 feels 10x better to drive.

I think the coilovers are shot so they will need pulling out and replacing with some nice springs & shocks. The clutch feels a lot different because I'm so used to my heavy duty clutch and my loose gearbox.

Right now the rims are rubbing on the guards and have cracked the paint under it, similar to what happens when you try roll them without heating them.

No backfires or anything but I took it easy because it's got no insurance and needs a good service. Wheel alignment is needed and probably all the suspension looked at.

Very happy with the purchase though and I can't wait to get into some modding when I get back from NZ.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
