Hey all,
I chucked up a thread a few weeks ago. Must have done something wrong so here we go second time round.
Almost a year ago on the hunt for a JZX90 a gave up looking for a nice manual version and came across this R34 GTT at a cheap price.
It needed a bit of love but once I fixed a few things it goes great and to be honest I never thought I would own a skyline but I think it's a pretty nice car.
When I bought it, it had the standard bolt on modifications.
Factory bodykit
Rear spoiler removed
HKS pod filter
Front mount Intercooler
Spitfire coil packs
Full 3.5'' into 3'' turbo back exhaust
Turbosmart blowoff valve
A set of White Volk Challenge wheel
Mismatched coilovers Gabs in the front and BC's in the rear (going to get a set of matching coilovers in the near future)
The first thing I did was give it a mega service which included:
Front and rear brake rotors and pads
Water pump, Greddy timing belt and associated tensioners and pulleys
Cam and crank seals as well as half moon seals and rocker cover gaskets as they had started to go hard and leak a bit,
Flushed all brake and clutch fluid with motul 600 and gearbox with motul gear 300....it's awesome stuff and completly changed how the gearbox shifted.
After that it ran a lot better and I really started to enjoy driving it.
Then one day me and a mate got bored and decided to paint my intercooler piping and mesh on the bar purple =\
Bit over it now, probably going to paint it all black once I do a few other things.
Over the last couple of months I have collected a few things to put in.
Cusco adjustable rear upper arms to make my rear tyres last a little longer
HICAS lock bar
HICAS rack ends
HICAS balljoints
Front rack ends
Front tie rod ends
and my favorite thing...a pair of red SR3 Recaros in awesome condition and picked them up for an awesome price.
Also picked up a pair of bride and juarn rails to put them in my car
Once that is all in and I sell a couple of my other cars my plans are:
A 1.5 way LSD, the Nissan viscous fury just isn't cutting it any more
ECU...looking at either Link/Vipec or PowerFC
Oil cooler and power steering cooler.
Turbo is starting to show signs of wear so in the short term I am just going to throw a good condition stock one one but down the track I am planning for a 3076R.
Since my coilovers aren't exactly matched to each other I am going to put a set of new once in to sort it out.
Once that is all in I will save for injectors, forward facing plenum (looking at a cut and shut GTR plenum on Wednesday..hoping it will clear my VCT)
Plans will probably change as they tend to do but that is where things stand at the moment.
Just waiting on some bits from Idealseat in Melbourne which will be coming tomorrow then I can throw the seats in and take some more pics to put up here.
