yeah thats Frankies old car, he used to be around SAU all the time, kinda disappeared when he down graded to his new car (a hummer i think he moved to the states)

I did a couple of laps of wakefield park in it, it was a good car, well set up suspension.

Hope whoever has it now is enjoying it :D

Hey Akeenan can you plz have a look in the nismo catalogue on how much they are? Ive been trying to chase down one of these for ages with no luck. Only other place to buy the oem wing and the uprights are carmate, trying to find one cheaper. Need a new wing to replace the huge factory ones.....

リアウイング用ステー

R34 2ドアクーペ専用

角度調整機構付、ウイング部分は純正品を使用して下さい。

ステー:アルミ製黒アルマイト仕上げ

マウント:FRP製黒ゲルコート仕上げ(要塗装)

96030-RNR40 ¥65,000

For the R34 2 door coupe, angular adjustment mechanism which attaches to the original rear wing. The mount is made from a black alumite gel finished aluminium mount. FRP black gel coat finish (main point paint) 96030-RNR40

YEN 65,000

pretty damn expensive just to hike up the rear wing a bit.

hahah that yellow peice of shit !! :(

I bet Franky will pop up out of no where and reply to this like he always does !

Nice car, looks good, and as duncan said the suspension was well setup.

Full whiteline kit with tanabe lowered springs I think.....

Duncan, he WANTED to get a Hummer but last I heard he was putting around in a work issue SUV or something, he is in NYC now and has no need for a car.

Will be coming back later on in the year and has something up his sleeve for the sau boys ;)

thanks for the heads up shonen! i would'nt have found this thread otherwise! :whistling:

heya all! some familiar faces here! :) erik (of course, the sucker who bought my car hehehe j/k!), mr wakefield himself duncan! nick aka pin up boy for sau! =)

good job on the research akeenan, yup, that looks to be the part for the wing. unfortunately with imports you dont quite know what to expect! :pwned:

that was a top car, only thing left was to squeeze more power out of it but i didnt quite get there and neither did erik, maybe dr_mafia will! that car was brought in as is with the exception of the front bar which was replaced with the top secret copy (and all the hypo bits of course which was all part of so called my "investment")

this is what it looked like originally from japan, that front lower lip (all beit with a terrible paint match) lasted all of 2 weeks before succumbing to a petrol station driveway where it just completely ripped off! =)

dr_mafia, what do you have installed for its 3rd generation in oz!!! :blink:

hahah no i dont have a h2 hummer, although i wish i did! i just rented it whilst i was in miami =) the h3 will be in oz in 2007 anyway! my only association with cars these days is with the r/c kind ie. my tamiya =) that'll change soon. back in oz by december!

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
