Luckily he'd ordered them in for someone else but they didn't collect. Off topic do you have a photo of how 18x9 +20 sits on the front of your 34?
Sure do, put up pictures the other day. Check my build thread

Did you have to order them in?

Almost got everything. Todays bits included a FMIC.
So far I have the turbo, intake manifold, FMIC. Got a high flow fuel pump coming soon as well as injectors (havent paid for them yet).
The turbo im running will be from an RB20DET. I will try it and see what it's like, i've heard a few people do this (low pressure, saab style) with decent results (a bit more power, no lag).
If not I'll just buy a turbo from an R34.
I've got a GT-Four too mate and am considering a DE-T as well
Keep us updated on how everything goes

Got a pic of it with 18x9s on the front? Looking to do the same with my 34 sedan but don't know if they will be a bit sunken
Here you go, excuse the dirty rims and car.
My rotors have arrived as well
RDA Slotted and dimpled. I got a full set of front and rears.... gonna look sweeettt!!!
-
Great build mate. Just curious as to what your car redline's at?
-
Have to agree with everyone here...the sound of my SR20 is nicer than my old N/A R34.
& that's saying something LOL
Sound wise in my opinion:
N/A SR20 < N/A RB25
SR20DET < RB25DET
And you're comparing a turbocharged(Assumed) SR20 with an N/A RB?
Not exactly equal on playing fields here.
-
No, I'm fairly sure that's fact actually.
So you've heard my car before have you?
Well you must be a minority then if you find the sound of an n/a skyline's exhaust note pleasing. Like alot of straight 6 BMW's, twincam RB motors are awfully raspy and droney in n/a form. The only real way to counteract it is to have a quiet exhaust system, or even better stock. Instead of putting up with the horrible raspy drone from an n/a, ive found it more enjoyable being able to cruise in peace and quiet. If I want noise, then I will get a pod filter in a box. Plant the car and all of a sudden it becomes brutally loud and has a nice throaty intake sound that believe you me, with a QUIET exhaust can actually be heard a hundred or so meters in front of the car. Intake noise is always drowned by loud exhausts, people dont know what they are missing out on imo lol.
I wouldn't drive one if I didn't like the sound of it. Don't like it? Then don't get one. Simple
I can cruise in peace and quiet too. The sound of the RB is my peace and quiet.
-
Stock system will reduce thy raspyness leaving a quiet car with intake noise which is the only noise that will sound good on your car.
According to you

I'm running from the extractors back: 2.75" mandrel bent piping, hi flow 100 cell cat, resonator and a kakimoto muffler, (not a cannon).
It's sounds pretty quiet at idle and has the traditional RB sound from 3500rpm and below but once I go higher you can tell thats its definitely an N/A. (Sad face).
I've had comments on it that it does sound alright on the highway and when I give it the berries as well. (On track or private road of course.)
It makes cracks and pops from time to time too which I like as well

XD9s in 18x10 +18 are my favourite all time wheel but they do take quite a bit of fiddling to get inside the guards on 33 / 34 non-GTRs.
Consider Varrstoen 3.3.1 / 3.3.2. 18 or 19 x9.5" +22. They are CE28n Replicas. Should fit pretty flush / moar legal on a 34 25gt. They look great on 34s too.
Also ditch the pod all togethor unless it has some dramatic sound difference that you have to keep (understandable). Stock airbox will make same power / torque / everythang
p.s. dont got the 18x9 +20 XD9's... they have alot less dish than the 18x10 +18 and will look shit all round. Can look good if you keep the 10" +18 rear though, but all four corners wont be as nice, they just look a bit off imo.
I've got 18x10's on the rear now and 18x9 +20's on the front. Still looks good but it doesnt have as much dish.
I've buggered the pod filter off and got myself a stock box now with a K&N panel filter. I've re used the piping from the pod so it still retains a bit of intake noise and gets rid of the pointless crap hanging off the standard piping.
Just put a GTR front end on it.
:-D
That would look good! I would want to go genuine though if I did go down that path
Clean car man. Still planning on doing the GTT brakes? Next plans?
Thanks Mate, GTT brakes are still there, just waiting on the extra $$ that I can spend on the car/rotors.
-
I was wondering when these would pop up haha
-
That's tuff. How much camber are you running and does it scrub?
I havent measured it exactly, The fronts are pretty straight. I got told by a few people that the rears are around 10 degrees??? But yeah I'm not 100% sure. As for scrubbing: In the rears there is no scrub and the front only scrubs on hard lock. Nothing too serious but.

So a few things have happened lately, first and foremost is I got caught up in a RBT/Licence check/Vechicle inspection station. This is the first time I've ever been pulled over believe it or not... for anything.
First thing I did when I got pulled over was click record of my iphone. What didnt go to plan was my mates ringing me so I had to start the recording 3 seperate times!
The cop was nice about it and he understood. Long story short he was very fair. Said my pod filter had to be enclosed and my front wheels could not be outside the guard.
Said the height appeared to be ok and couldnt believe that I've never had a ticket before.
Long story short was I got a $110 fine and 1 point for wheels protruding from the body and unenclosed pod filter.
I could even drive home which was good. Which brings me to my next stage:
The car is currently off the road getting the front coilovers reconditioned as a knock appeared in the front left. While thats happening I've been sussing out a Topstage carbon fibre pod filter cover for GTT but I'm yet to recieve and email back with measurements for the intake hole. New wheels are on the cards too as I would like to go 1 step down from freaking awesome as to try and legitimise the car a bit.
I'm thinking XD9 18 x 9 +20 all round. I'm picking up one today from a mate to test fit and I'll see how she goes.
Thanks for looking guys -

I must say I am jealous... Nice ride very nice ride.
Thanks man, The wheels are what make the car I think
Here is an shot from a recent cruise, first time going through the Clem 7 too.... Not a bad tunnel
-
So I took my car to my usual mechanic and got the timing belt and a brand new starter motor put in. Starts super quick now which is good.
He also pointed out that my "Aragosta Coilovers" are cheap chinese copies since they had no branding/stamp on the base of the tube. Only "aragosta" written on the damper adjustment knob. Anyway the front left is on its way out now and I'm in need of a replacement pair. As far as I know I need to use R34 Gtr coilovers since they have an "eye" hole to mount them but I'm am not 100% sure
-
Yeah its legal ride height
-
Loving the build mate. Engine bay looks clean and stealthy...
-
I've been thinking about what I want to do with the car, basically I'm looking to keep it 80% Daily and 20% track.
I've got some GTT front and rear calipers that I'm going to look at mounting but I need to have a good look as I think the hole is too small.
Slotted rotors would be next as well.
I've been researching the crap out of seats lately and I'm tossing up between a genuine Bride and getting it modplated or buying an ADR approved seat (Autotechnica Bride Look-a-like) and using that. The stock seats dont really bother me too much comfort wise but I slide around in them when I go through some twisties which gets annoying.

My plans for it are some carbon bits. I'm thinking a rear diffuser but I'm not sure if there is one available for non Gtr rear bumpers. Also a Gtt front lip as well is on the cards

Another update:
Went into to my mechanics on Friday to get the brakes and rotors fitted. Ran into a few minor dramas, nothing serious but
There is a heat shield thing around the hub that needed trimming for the rotors to fit properly.
So we managed to trim that right back out of the way.
We started by fitting the rears first, simply because it was a bolt on affair.
The front mounting points on the other hand can accommodate Brembo's from factory. This is a 10mm bolt hole I believe, but the GTT rotors mounting point is larger, so it would need to be drilled out and what not. That's why we did the rears first.
Now, the following pictures are of the rear brakes only simply because my Brake Master Cylinder cannot fuel the 4 pot awesomeness that the fronts provide. I'm in need of a GTT BMC but I'm not sure what the bore size is on that one, so if anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.
Now that I've rambled on... onto some pictures of the goodies
I can't get enough of that colour hey! looks epic I reckon....
