roflmao... J-Spec is not responsible for problems caused to relationships by the cars we supply.

As long as the credit card is free for her to use, it will be all good.

Don't you have a "REAL" job .. how the hell can you find enough time to buy 2 cars in the one week ?????

Finally got my car today

Had it delivered this avro to my house

Will send it to compliance in the next week or 2

Need to remove a few aftermarket things first

After sitting around the docks for 3-4 months, it could do with a good clean

Need a bit of a tidy up

Small rust spot on door under RH mirror and bodykit could do with a few screws

Rear carpet in hatch area has some damage, will need to replace it

It is a fair bit different to drive than my R33 manual

Feels a bit sluggish with auto and extra weight

Will have to work on this

Let the mods begin :dry:

any that u have taken since you took delivery of it?

you can get an R34 GTR for about 60k if you import it............. :drools: ...... my dream car

No, camera is in getting repaired

What ever that thing is on the dash, someone else wanted it more

It went missing

34gtr

Well. after nearly 6 months to the day from when I first paided for the Stagea, I went toget it registered today.

Went to get a RWC, could not get the car on the hoist due to the side skirts, so the mechanic said "Ahh, it should be fine under there"

Went to check the front lights, the front parkers were not working, mechanic said "You will get around to fixing them"

So with the RWC out the way, I went to the QLD department of transport.

Filled out the right forms, waited another 30min to get served, went out side to get the vehicle checked. the lady could not read the engine number, so I read it out for her because it was too had to read. Luckly I had rembered the engine number from before hand.

Went back inside with paper work inhand, she went thru everything, went off to talk to the supervisor and came back to tell me I needed the original import approval, not a copy.

I got staight onto the phone to IAMSHE to ask for it. Phil advised me that after doing over 600 cars in QLD they never once need the original, a copy was fine.

So it did not matter what I said they would not register it. I will have wait another 2 days to get the original and then it should be on the road.

I have been waiting 6 months now, so what is another 2 days :wave:

I had the same question asked and all I had was the copy, which they accepted in the end but in reality in the hands of whom ever you meet at the counter. I was in there for near on 2 hours while they tried to work out what they were supposed to do so I had a bit of luck I think... I waited 3 solid months for my car to get here and I would have been fuming if I had missed rego because of a photocopy or fax of an import approval (how would the car have cleared customs without that?) that sort of stuff really sh*ts me!

Hope you get it sorted soon!

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
