thanks for the comments, yea i no i could have had a r34 gtr and a half, but once i start on something i like it done properly next step is to run the engine in and i am hoping to get in the 9 sec bracket if it hooks up. and one word of advice dont try and do a six port direct injection it works out way to expensive for what its worth , i had to put the nossles under the plenium i did want them on top but the fuel rail is in the way....well i did drive it back from the workshop and its f**kn loud it will be good to go on a cruise so if anyones keen pm me we can work out a date to meet up....

Fair enough. As long as you love it, that's all that matters.

I'm envious of someone who loves their car that much. I can't settle on which car to have - I want em all!

:P

well it has been 7 months but i have finally finished my engine bay and drive gear. now she has a 6 speed trust dog box, 4'' dump pipe straight through,single piece tail shaft, new suspension as you can see i ts a little low at the moment , nitros set up is complete, all thats left is a paint job....

Fark me, its been a while since we met up to pick up those seats off ya. And wow... car looks hot as. Is this the same one that was in your driveway when we met up?

Now tell all the nice people how much a setup like this costs, and about the R34 GT-R you could have had for the same money if not cheaper.

Sorry buddy, but I've crunched the numbers, and nice as it is, unless you're selling drugs, it ain't worth it.

LOL...say the same thing about a guys girlfriend and you would get a fat lip :P

My thinking, The Golden rule...."Its his gold, so he makes the rules"

Pretty schmick i say, lets see a manual GTST pull a 9, all the best with it

hey mate awesome looking motor/bay, just a couple of questions.

are the radiator top brackets chromed? and is the power steering pump chromed or polished ally (though im 99% sure they are only steel)? and rocker covers polished or chromed?

so how much is your braided line and fittings bill i wonder :P mines nearly 1200 bucks and mines no where as much line as yours.

cheers mate and all the best with it :D good to see some rb25s highly modified for a change ;)

so does all that shiny shit in the bay make it go faster?

give the the guy some credit, and its nice to see decent engine bays in skylines as 99% of em look like plain jane shit, or a smarties packet of painted bits.

shiny bits rule, and are well worth it unless u want it to look like a shitta :lol:

i'll give him credit for having too much money to spend on a car! :D

that, sir, is the main object of certain people's builds. mine, in particular.

id much rather the show/profesional look that the backyard painted bits style with rubber hoses and shitty clamps everywhere. i goto local car shows and peoples cars who are entered have some of the most disgraceful engine bays ive ever seen, and they shouldnt even be allowed to open em unless they are clean/neat. :P

each to their own ;)

yea i stripped the power steer pump right down and got every bit cromed along with the altinater cam covers pulleys harmonic balancer engine mounts and brackets , waterpump outlet and with all the bolts i got them done in gold crome just to set it off . with the crome brading it was well ova 3k with the fittings every line is braded right down to the boost line and line to the blow of valve. i even did my fuel lines also the brake lines are braid. it was very time consuming but i reckon it looks neater in the end and beats painting shit that flakes off in a week. :P

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
