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

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!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
