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)

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!

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
