No,its not that one,its one built by Mines,its featured in the current Autosalon mag.Nice car though.

I think the finest GTR in the universe could possibly be the Z Tune Nismo R34.

it is the car driven at Tsukuba or was it Nikko by Tsuchiya and Orido

i said the finest modded GTR

m&m you really need to read before comenting

Yeah picked up the mag today on my break and from the little small peices i read in the article it says its not, however it does have a COMPLETE Mines RB26 *drools*

But yeah i read it somewhere that it says its not actually the car, just rather something that is almost identical in mods and visually speaking (needs some BBS rims to top it off :P).

edit: Irrespective if it is or isn't the ACTUAL Mines 34 that thing is so hot!

edit edit: like i said its just from the little bits i read so don't quote me on this especially you DIRT ^_^ i may be wrong

Hey,lose the attitude buddy.It is NOT the car,clearly says that in the article,and I read fine.So a car modified by Mines is classed as modified,but a car bought second hand by Nismo and modified is not.Go figure.I thought altering a car from stock was modifying,no matter who it was done by.

You dont pick on my reading and I wont pick on your spelling of commenting :P

Oh yeah Autostlyes car are top notch no doubting that.....

Its fully built by Mines but it is not THE Mines R34 thats all i think is being said

cant believe all you read in Autosalon....we have been listed winning trophy's we didn't....in the same issue(current) Daniel Jitts' Supra has a twin turbo 1UZFE when it has a 2JZGTE (this is said more than once) our car had twin Trust fuel rails and a Autometer boost controller.lol [cabin] fools

so who knows if its the real McCoy.

think ill give Dom. a ring myself.

Just checked the web site.....

Can be yours for a cool $169,000

Here is a pic for those of you requesting it.

Also this is a quote from the page that has the car on it......

"This car has been built to above group A spec. Brand New MINES engine with less than 3000klm, Way to many extras to list. No expense spared. Over $250,000 has been spent in making this the ULTIMATE street and track car. If you deserve the best, you cannot go past this one. For more details give Joe at AUTOSTYLE Prestige & Performance Cars a call on 0404 461 993"

Quite a few differences between the cars,although I like the idea of Dom's car having a built bottom end.

Tsukuba car has stock air box,not ARC,BBS mags,not Enkei,white bonnet with small vent ,not black with large vent.Black cannards and lip on Tsukuba car,not on Doms.Rear brakes are stock on Tsukuba car,4 pot Alcons on Doms.These are just the obvious ones.

I think the biggest difference might be that the Tsukuba car is based on an N1,while Doms car is based on a V Spec 2,though not entirely sure on that one

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
