Hey buddy

Don't think the plastic would have been there the whole time.

Some more details of the car are:

2001 V Spec II

29000km

Full Log books from new (books have been posted to us here)

Apexi N1 Coilovers

Nismo Dash - Black face

Exhaust system of some sort (not sure yet)

Things to be done ASAP:

Engine bay is pretty much stock (as you can see)- need to get intake sorted (ARC Air box I'm thinking)

Will change the black face nismo dash for the white face item.

Dan

Wow, is the plastic on the passenger seat still there from factory?

Why change the intake, just remove the factory blocking plate from the wheel arch inlet for the factory airbox, put a K&N panel filter in, and its easily good for 450hp. I dont see how those fancy airboxes are worth the money without a second solid investment in some custom snorkel... If its good enough for the Z-Tune/Mines R34 it's good enough for me (and you).

I'll buy your black faced nismo dash if you want. ;)

Can you take a photo of the underside of the bonnet please?

I want to install the super cool NACA duct on my R34 and want to see the location of it.

Also, if you could roughly measure the position of the top of the duct?

that would be Tops.

I know its not a Nissan... but thought Id share amongst the importing gurus. This is my second import, first one being with j-spec, this time I thought I'd import myself. Mark Hocking found this baby for me. A 99 RZ-S vvti Supra. Cant wait till it lands.

    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
