1st thing is to ask your insurance company what they will allow you to do.

The start with an exhaust, air filter and a front mount. then BOV I would say ;)

good starting point then the possibilities are endless :) hehehe

Hey Tony - yeah he said it was a GTS.

33Spec: congratulations on the car, looks very nice (just like mine! :)). In regards to body mods, I think the side skirts and rear skirts make the car look good. The car looks a bit round under the door without them.

Also, the Nismo chin spoiler is cool, but some people like the S2 stock, your call.

Cheers,

Pretty much anything will void the insurane if its not "standard". Even if its like racing pedals, which to me would have no discernable difference to the way the car drives, they will want to know about it and it might effect the amount you pay. Some of it makes sense, but in general its all a scam to get you for more money.

Best thing is just to ring them "I am thinking of fitting a xxx to my car, how will that effect my insurance?" and they will give you the answer. Depending on how much you want to take the risk, you then do it anyway, or just go without.

Remember if you are involved in a major accident, and you have fitted something you haven't told them about, and they happen to go through you car with a fine toothed comb (which has been known to happen, but not many times) - they are on the right side of the law to not cover you at all for the claim. If you hit a porche then...

Dont forget that some specialist insurers like Just Car and Famous allow unlimited modifications.

If however, you are talking about a standard insurer like Nrma etc then mods will more than likely void your insurance.

It pays to double check before you do the mods in any case

tlai909: you beat me to the N/A comment, first thing i saw was the 4 stud wheels :)

why dont you get the wheels?

you probably misunderstood them when they said you need new "tyres".

there's no point in changing to 5 stud by the way.

there are plenty of 4 stud wheels that will look good on the car.

wanting to change from a 4 stud to a 5 stud...sorry about this...that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.???? why would you want to do this? to give people a false sense your driving something ur not??

5 studs wont fit on a 4 studded axel anyhow? and I imagine it would be costly and a waste of time to do so!.

dont be so harsh on the fella akeenan

anyways it can be dont but it is time consuming and costly.. i wanted to do that also, change from 4 stud to 5.... mainly coz the turbo parts are so much easlier to come by and swap around rather than the 4 stud kind, and i had my eye one these mags that only had a 5 stud pattern......

bottom line if u got the time and $$$ and there is a point to the plan then do it, but if its just to have the fakeness as akeenan so nicly put it, go break yo self!?!? :lol:

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
