(OO)SKYLINE(OO)

Looks nice! Any close up engine bay pics?

Its alittle hard sometimes for Millennium Jade as the camera angle / lighting can effect the look. Also ppl try to replicate the colour and sometimes don't get it spot on. Millennium Jade has a Light Gold Pearl effect in the sun and in the dark its pretty much green Whats closest to a goldish colour is, EY0 - Silica Breath (Champagne Gold) Some of the R34 GTR M-Spec Nur's came in this colour... Very rare!

Yeah you better keep the Mrs' happy for sure LOL! Im guessing its an Aluminium bonnet then, I could not find anything saying its Carbon Fibre except the R34 GTR N1 is. Ah well, I was told Carbon Fibre is only a few Kg's lighter then Aluminium so not too much to wory about. Hehe!! Cool! All the best.

JW0 - Millennium Jade is the paint code for the R34 GTR Nur / cam cover.

Yeah cool man! A/C! Thats what the windows are for... Ah well you do live in QLD and it get bloody hot up there LOL! And yes as you know the ABS, A/C, Stereo, Rear windscreen wiper, carpets where removed to save weight. BTW did your R33 GTR come with a factory Carbon Fibre bonnet to save weight? I know the R34 GTR N1's did...

What type of engine is it? RB26? Any build plates? Pics?

Since you got a very rare R33 GTR V-Spec N1, from factory they are a lot more refined then your standard GTR's. The N1's are usually hand built and very well balanced allowing the N1 engines to rev a lot smoother. Your N1 engine should be the following = Twin ball bearing metal turbochargers (much stronger than the standard ceramic turbos used), Reinforced N1 Cylinder Block, N1 Pistons, N1 Piston Rings, N1 Con-Rods, N1 Oil Pump, N1 Water Pump and N1 Exhaust Manifold. To identify the N1 Cylinder Block, there is the number 24U stamped on the block as opposed to 05U for standard GTR's. They are Race Spec Engines and was developed by Nismo for Group A Racing in Japan. Power wise, I would utilise as much out of the N1 twin turbos you have, as they run 1.2 Bar (17.4 Psi) of boost (Well I know the R34 GTR N1's did) Just double check to make sure what yours run. So a Boost controller / APexi Power FC would come in handy. ECU is most probley a stock one from Nissan to suite (Programmed to) the N1 Spec's. I would not bother modifing anything else with the engine but the only other thing is you can go for some HKS (or whatever brand) Adjustable Cam Gears to get the perfect timing. An exhaust, which I believe you already have will free up the exhaust flow is a must on GTR engines, atleast a 3" exhaust. Nismo / Nismo Weldina and Kakimoto make a nice performance exhaust, which just purrs softly on idle and has a nice roar on full throttle. HKS make a Silent Hi-Power exhaust, which is nice as well and no "Drone". You can think about upgrading your air intake to twin pod filters, but your panel filter should be good for around 300kW (rear wheels) or if you want, just upgrade the panel filter to a high flow one. APexi or K&N brand will do. Stock GTR intercoolers are great for around 300kW's (rear wheels). Also your N1 should have came with a factory Oil Cooler (sitting infront of your radiator down the left hand side as you are facing the car) So your oil temps will be at a good consistant level, which is good for the engine. Since the N1's are based on V-Spec models, you should have firmer suspension then the standard GTR's but still, at high speeds in and out of the corners, you might still get abit of body roll so I would suggest you to upgrade it to full adjustable suspensions. The only thing you will lose is your nice soft comfortable ride = The pain you put up with on a race car LOL! Put a nice set of 17" or 18" Nismo LMGT4's on and get some good tyres. Brakes wise, you should already have Brembos and just make sure you use top quality brake pads, Brembo of course LOL!

Yeah cool! Nice camera too and keep up the good work.

Super Cheap Auto Auto barn Comes as a kit with the cleaner and oil spray and its about $33 last time I bought it for.

The close up of the leaf with the water drops looks nice. The R34 of yours lokks nice too + it just goes to show, you can even make a car look better with a good industrial background. What type of camera you using, Digi cam, Digial SLR?

I do the best I can to avoid the cyclist and if Iam driving in the left lane and see a cyclist, I will change lanes and give them plenty of room and indicate for a longer period of time just to make sure they see me changing lanes. Yes they don't pay rego, insurance, parking and other things but they seem to get to use the road as much as we drivers do... What can you do? Win / win for them I guess. I got friends who ride to work so I do talk to them about them using the roads and ask their point of views. Funny tho, afew weeks back I saw some "Bike Road Rage" LOL!. It was down a one way street and a racer cyclist came flying down and another cyclist on his BMX (from memory) was coming in the opposite direction and the racer cyclist said to him "Your on the wrong side of the road!" The BMX guy thought for a split second and turned his head and yeld "What the F**K man?!" I mean, ok it was down a One Way street but the racer said your on the wrong side of the road and its not like it was a busy road... Could have easily avoid each other. A friend of mine went through a red light and another cyclist pulled up next to him and said "You should not run red lights, it gives cyclist a bad name"... So some cyclist really obey the rules and some don't... LOL! Yes it is fustrating to follow behind a whole pack on the road so either be patient or speed up and over take with care.

The reason why you put a HKS pod on is to allow more air in, which force induction cars love. You box off the pod to not allow hot air in, which is generated from the engine. To answer your question in reguards to a cold air intake pipe that draws cold air from under the car to the airfilter, that will help, it is always good to give more air to the intake. You just might have to clean your HKS pod more often or atleast every 5000km service. Silicon intake pipe..? As long as it s a pipe with a desent diametre and allows air feeding to the pod, its fine. Cool!

I see. Cool thanks!

Ah yeah thats the one... Hah! Its not the fathers fault. I'm sure a lot more other "fathers" own R34 GTR's and eveything is fine... If his son was old enough to drive, means he is old enough to take responsibility for his own actions. What a waste of a R34 GTR.

Why is this posted in the Victoria Section when it is hosted in NSW? You want Victorians to drive all the way up to NSW to join the cruise..? Thanks mxfly

Shhhhhh

LOL! Nice try Basti! Yeah those pics of the auto looks interesting and they did a very good job of it too.

My R34 GTR V-SPec II Nur. Hehehe!!!

Either you raise the height of your car or get your mechanic to do the best he can and tuck the exhaust as close as possible under the car.

^^ Learn to drive manual Haha!! Ok Basti I would be interested to see what it looks like.

The Blue colour R34 GTR with the Black coloured wheels..? If so yeah the owners son took his friends and from memory, a girl was one of the passenger and she was pregnant...

For shopping list on the side of the door..? Haha!! Yeah Carribean Market do them on Sunday.

TangoMatt it is! Had a chat to him at the 08' Show n' Shine, he's cool!

LMFAO!!!

Pics or ban Kris, of the GIRL of course... You never miss a duck meet. Was a good night.
