Love the front bar, I'm thinking of getting some side skirts and a rear wing for mine so if you don't want the wing, I'll take it :D Honestly I'd put the wing back on, I have seen some 34's without wings and they look pretty damn nice, but I dunno... either way I like.

Is your colour actually black or is it a dark blue like mine? I can't actually tell!

As for lowering it, I'm affraid to do it to mine, the cost versus the benefits don't make it seem like it's a good idea IMO. I drive in some parking lots and side streets with some very bad speed humps so it would worry me doing it, even on 18's.

Anyway I love the front bar, looks shit hot :D

so what's the deal with a real R34 GTR then? :D

Not sure, maybe the front bar sits lower on your car?

Or maybe the GTR has a bigger diam wheel/tyre - whats the stock tyre size on a GTT and a GTR and i can work it out for you....

Or ask Troy he'd probably know...

OzGTR02 (i think thats his sig) in Sydney has a sweet R34 GTR with all the front lips. It is the sme as yours, in that the front is crazy low even if the car itself isnt.

Paul has awesoem Weds with big dish, but last time i saw his car at Eastern he still has std suspension under it trying to work out how in the hell could he lower the thing without turning it into a street sweeper

edit...actually just found a recent photo of his car and i guess you can see what beign so low has done to it in the months since i saw his car.

while the bar looks like an exact replica or an R34 GTR bar, there may be differences in mounting points etc, and like I said the bonnet of a GTR sits higher. So probably slight differences in the height of your bar vs a GTR bar - any it may be slightly deeper than a stocker

The front tip which normally tips down has been cut, folded over and made to be like an R34 GTR bonnet.

The whole section would have been sanded back etc.

The black is undercoat/sealant to protect the area before it gets sprayed.

that's cos the car is smiling troy, shit... i'd be too if i'd look like that :thumbsup: - give a big cheesy one to the guy with the camera :ermm:

pete's right, just a protective layer before i spray it... i toyed with the idea of having the car done satin black, so a little matte, but a little shiny too... i think i ended up thinking it was a silly idea.

stock R34 GTT tyre/wheel combo's are 17", 225/45 i think?

do i have to keep the same diameter? i'm guessing 18" with 40 tryes would still be bigger than 17" 45?

yeah, it's $1200 i think, without the lower lip parts (2 sections, another couple hunge) and then you gotta spray it... will be a little disappointing when there are dodge fibreglass copies of this floating around... oh well, at least i can say i had the first one :wub: or an original one...

so according to the calulator i shouldn't change rims where the difference is greater than 3%..

must admit, didn't quite follow the site...

said 265/40/R18's were 5.3%, didn't like it...

what exactly does the site tell me?

that doesnt matter

it just affects your speedo, nothing else

its telling you the rolling diameter of the wheels

dan -

i would think that you'll want to go to 235/40/18 and 265/35/18s

same as R33GTSt

to maintain the same (similar) rolling diameter

That is correct. I have the same on my 34

Chinny - I've seen your car, my rims would fit under it easy. The only issue I saw with your bar is the height of it, dropping the car would be a b|tch.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
