    $12K R34 Gtt - Lots Of Mods - Adelaide

    in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)

    Posted

    I'm selling my 1998 R34 GT-T which has done 105,000km and has had regular oil changes in the 5 years I have owned it. I'm the second owner in AU since import.

    ** The car has front end damage ** - About 2 years ago I had a front end crash which pushed the radiator into the engine fan and totalled the headlights, reo bar, radiator, bonnet and front bar. Rather than fixing this properly, I was lazy and went out a bought a new front bar, reo, xenon headlights, radiator, and carbon fibre bonnet. I pushed out the bar that the radiator sits on with a jack, slotted in the new radiator, bolted a new reo on, then zip tied the headlights and front bar on, and replaced the bonnet and intercooler with a brand new ones.

    The car is used as an everyday work car so it is driven from Crafers in the hills to town 5 days a week and rarely driven on the weekends, so it's pretty much just wasting my petrol money. I have been pulled over about 4-5 times since the crash and have not been defected, although it could be defected if a cop wanted to be a prick, but so can 95% of the cars on the road.

    I spent about $8000 at once in mods about 18 months ago and had it tuned to 260rwkw. I've listed the mods that I had done all at once:

    Exedy heavy duty clutch

    GT-70/36r Turbo

    Greddy Profec B 2 boost controller

    Z32 air flow meter

    Denso high flow fuel pump

    Nistune chip

    Splitfire coil packs

    3 inch cat-back exhaust

    3 inch custom dump pipe

    3 inch custom cat

    These are the other mods that have been done to the car before the above:

    New bushes and tie rod ends

    BC Racing coilovers - bought off justjap for $1,100 three months ago (only done a few thousand km's)

    HKS blow off valve

    Front mount intercooler (black stealth style)

    Apexi turbo timer

    Shift light

    Air/fuel ratio meter

    17" mags

    Carbon Fibre vented bonnet

    Small aero side mirrors

    Xenon headlights

    Clear side indicators

    Full fibre glass body kit

    Rear seats and seat belts removed - can supply

    B-pillar lock bar (Room bar)

    Front roll bar

    Front upper adjustable camber arms

    Rear adjustable camber arms

    I may have missed out a few things but as you can see it's had a decent amount spent on it and is ready for drift or track, just needs a retune. You could just keep it as it is and drive it like it is, or spend the time on fixing the front end properly.

    I'm asking $12,000, and I will consider swapsies with a 4x4, preferably a patrol or navara. Give me a text or call on 0431516718 if interested.

    Cheers,

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    You can't go wrong with the BOSCH EV14's, top feed, 725cc.

    They are E85 compatible and I can do a set incl. plugs and extensions for $590 incl. delivery.

    Cheers,

    Brendan

    (VM)

    Thanks Brendon. So they are 100% plug straight in for the NEO engine?

    Sounds great, if I could also grab a price on a set of 850cc or higher that would be awesome, as I'll also be getting another set of 6 for a mate.

    Thanks for your time,

    Tom

    Hicas Canceller Rod And Benefits For Track

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    I would also be interested to know how much difference having the HICAS makes, especially when it comes to drifting. I've heard that the HICAS only works above 80kph.

    Personally I still have the HICAS in my car and like to drive sideways quite often, I wonder if it makes much difference when the wheels are spinning more than 80kph? Opinions from people with experience on this would be great!

    Rear Strute Brace Preload?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    I jacked the car up by the centre point just back from the centre of your front bumper, this was for the front strut brace. I believe it would work the same if you jack the car up by the diff, which is what I jack it up by when changing rear suspension, but I don't have a rear strut brace.

    Let me know if the rear strut makes much difference!

    R34 Front Shocks/brake Disc Questions

    Try ISC Coilovers. They're fairly cheap and they should be able to sell you a new pair of just fronts for under $800 inc delivery. Don't trust second hand shocks, I made this mistake a year ago and would never buy second hand shocks again. In the end I got some ISC's in the rear and they've held up since, cost me about $750.

    http://www.isc-performance.com/ - give them a call and get a quote

    As for the windscreen, I would call around for quotes in your area.

    As for rotors, I've been looking for some myself for my GTT, I've been leaning towards getting DBA's over RDA's as there seems to be too many bad stories about RDA's not being as good quality and warping. These two brands seem to be the main choices for the majority of people, although as you're selling your car maybe just look at getting some stock replacements. If you decide to get DBA's, the front for the GT are DBA 4963 - check the dba website for local suppliers!

    Rear Strute Brace Preload?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    I'm trying to figure out if one has to jack up the car when installing these braces.

    So when you jack the car up I think the chassis flexes downwards (?) unless you jack it up on both sides and support it evenly.

    From factory I could imagine that the geometry of the car is set with the car standing on its own feet, and that would seem like the natural

    position to fit the braces (?)

    But I am just theorizing ,,,,

    Any thoughts on this ..?

    That sounds right, so when jacking up the car the suspension struts should widen slightly as the weight of the car is not being placed on them, which in turn should allow the strut brace to be expanded outwards more. Whether or not this should be done or is necessary, I'm not sure, but I did it anyway (about a year and a half ago), and it certainly doesn't seem to have done any damage.

    I have a b-pillar 'lock bar' that sits between the two b-pillars and pushes outwards creating chassis rigidness, when I put this in I tightened the sh1t out of it, and found that this made quite a noticeable difference to the handling.

    For my front strut brace, I jacked the front of my car up (to take the weight off the suspension struts), and then tightened the strut brace quite a bit (not a stupid amount, but enough to apply a decent amount of pressure on the struts). I found that this seemed to make the handling feel more 'stiffer' and responsive.

    Wasn't sure if the above would do anything positive but gave it a go and it seemed to help!
