R34 VSPEC

Coconut.............Brown on the outside, white inside! No just kidding....Asian from Fiji there you have it!

Hey guys and gals, Just got a tank full of Shell's V POWER and I don't know whether the cold night air is doing wonders or the new fuel is actually quite good. Apparently, this fuel was developed and used extensively in Europe on Ferraris and other exotics and is only recently appearing in petrol stations here in QLD at least....try it next time and tell us what you think. Cheers Kwei

Carbon bonnet looks tough..and strong too, had my 5 years old Daughter and 3 Haltach promo girls on the bonnet for a photo....things you can do on that bonnet!!!!...damn.nnnn you lucky bastard.

Yeah, Go the Vspec....looks meaner.....sounds better....more words to describe your ride when u say R34 VSPEC! I've got a Gunmetal coloured VSpec.......Bayside Blue is cool and I've seen a few floating around.....but Gunmetal is the next blue....it's a little bit different.

Maybe he/she meant $168000 and stuffed up the decimal places!

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Just flushed the system and gone 50\50 Geniune Nissan green stuff and demineralised water..............only the best will do!

Hey boyz and girls, Just wanna get an opinion on types of coolant to use in a GTR. Any particular brands that are good? what ratio mixture should be used?............just want to make sure that coolant types are not detrimental to coolant lines, seals, pumps etc... Got a mate who recently had coolant changed and was using a 50/50 mixture but car had a syrong coolant smell after the drive................is that normal? Cheers.

Bad luck mate, I saw your car on the hoist...ORO33 right?. Yeah, know the bloke fixing your car..even joked about taking my 34 front diff to put in yours. Tough looking 33...I'm sure he'll get in on the road before you know it.

Mate, I had similar problems, would only notice it when car is hot or being driven for a while. No doubt leaking injectors etc would contribute in your case. Had my car checked out with a fault code finder and air flow meters were both on their way out...not completely f#%ed yet but was told would eventually die. Both of them!!!....reading different voltages above and sometimes below the norm. Had both replace..expensive exercise and now car is running fine...no more jumpimg back and forth and lossing power. As for the heat towards the AFM, I was told the crank case ventilation with hot engine oil mixing with air being redirected back through the air inlet causes this contamination in the air inlet and sometimes or over time the oil/heat can affect the AFMS. Recommeded an oil catch can setup to eliminate this contamination. Oh yes, my 02 sensors weren't spot on either but was told this should not affect the driving of the car to the extend of not responding to the throttle when this happens and I would loss fuel injector signals. AFM stuffing up, telling the car that no air is coming in so fuel supply stops momentarily...car runs crap, jerks back and fourth for a few seconds, sometimes longer and then picks up again. I could actually see no fuel signal on the multi display screen when this happens. Anyway, just something I've experienced and was told by my mechanic....that's my 2cents. Good Luck

Mate, the owner, Kevin has sold up and now concentrating on bodykits instead. His cars are now scattered in other yards for sale such as the Morooka Auto Shop and others. His bodykit business is the MOnkey Warehouse brand...look it up...you'll find it....or contact Don at DMD !

Mate, I had the same problem with my GTT. You didn't wet the engine bay recently?.....I noticed mine showing this problem and if you keep an eye on your volt meter, you will see a sharp drop when this happens...sometimes dangerous whilst driving when you switch the head lights on or to highbeam!...noticed that volt meter drop as well when brake pedal is pressed or electric windows put down. It is normal for alternator to use a bit of power when you use the electricals but not to the extend that the volt drops to stalling point. I had my alarm guy inspect the wiring and he replaced a few connectors here and there and the problem went away. Also check your coils...they can be causing the problem as well , let's hope it's not the alternator or you will need a rebuilt. Ps...also had to replace head light bulbs as they blew. Good luck.

Mate, I had similar problems.....the car would be fine during th drive and on the odd occassion, it would shudder and would not respond to the throttle. I've got a multi display screen in car and I can see when this happens, there is no fuel injection at all! Had it checked out and it appeared that the AFM sensor had fouled up due to oil mist build up from the K&N panel filter....at least that's what I've been told...had that cleaned up and problem seem to be gone.

I have a jet black aftermarket rear wing for $50...good condition...Was on my black series 1 r33 GTST but opted for a gtr wing instead.....wing is kinda like the that of the factory Supra.....just sitting in garage collecting dust for about a year. Also have factory side mount R33 intercooler and pipes, standard airbox and snorkel and aftermkt BOV, I think AVO brand or siomething like that which was removed to make way for HKS SS BOV.....some come getr them!! PM if interested........giveway at low low prices. I am in Ipswich area. Cheers, Kwei

Is this Brisbane turbo and tuning down at the Gabba?

Thanks for the insight guys...much appreciated!

Yeah, I put this question to a few turbo workshops and some said to be sure...the dump pipes from the turbos be removed to inspect the wheels....fancy doing that!

PS...also have R33 side mount intercooler, original air box with snorkle...intercooler piping and sockets and a aftermarket BOV i removed from the car to replace with a HKS SS BOV.

Guys, I have a black r 33 rear wing to give away for $50 or just give me a price....had it siting in the garage for about a yr now so come take it....good condition, jet black in colour. was on my gtst but i prefered the gtr rear wing at the time so off it came and was left in the garage since then. i'm in queensland....ipswich area. PM if interested. Cheers, Kwei

Steel exhaust wheel but ceramic compressor wheel from factory? ...I guess running 1.2bars on these are a little too risky!

GUYS, JUST WANNA CLEAR UP AN ISSUE IN RELATION TO TURBINE WHEELS IN THE R34 GTR VSPEC TURBOS.....ARE THEY STEEL OR CERAMIC? Had conflicting info ...some people say steel...HPI articles say steel......others say ceramic.....maybe different examples support different turbine wheels?

Apologies there, dale82au! I had in the back seat a very discontent child and my attention was on her and getting home quick!. I did see you in the rear vision....huge intercooler with no front bar right? I thought you would overtake me at some stage but you took your exit....so I'm sure there'll be next time...definite waves when that time comes around!

Dan, I own a late model 99 GTR 34 VSPEC, gunmental grey and understandably have been babying the car after spending the kind of money on one. I am thinking of selling the car due to increase pressure for wife esp after birth of second child.....damn it's a tough world!!! Anyway , I bought the car from a good mate who imported the VSPEC himself from japan. I remembered the excitement as well as the waiting game he went through so when he wanted to sell, I knew I was onto a winning. Full history books, manuals, servicing docs came with the car and it had only 20000kms. This was back in 2004. I have had the car for about 6 months and enjoyed every drive. Xenons, BLITZ BOOST controller in cabin, HKS t/timer, 3.5 inch full stainless exhaust with dump pipes, K& N panel filter...that's it...everything else standard. PM me if interested as I am trying to delay advertising it as long as possible or otherwise goodluck with your quest...it's a whole new feeling to own a R34 GTR!!!! Regards, David PS. I'm in Queensland.

Suggestion: Do the brissy boys and gals wanna meet up at Milton Maccas early...I've been down to the BPs at Morayfield from Brisbane in the last cruise so I'll be going past Milton on the way up to the coast....let me know of a suitable time and I'll stop.

That's well said, Erin. Just be wary of imitation coppers though.....sounds like too many varieties of cars for the budget.....definitely some XR6 turbos around...with personalised plates.

Count me in........Drew (Northfield) if you are reading this....come along in your VSPEC GTR34......that'll make people see double.
