Here's a standard R34 GTR with a different kit on it. It's the history that is the real kicker. It was owned by the late Paul Walker. This is one of the three GTR's he owned. Rolled up to the shop this morning looking for paint touch up. Guy plans on putting it thru the Barret Jackson Auction coming up in Las Vegas, Nevada this year. Extremely clean with legit documents confirming vehicles history. attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1395173477.529368.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1395173494.211226.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1395173505.311136.jpg

This reminded me of something that came up over facebook the other day.. If only it really was a GTR, perhaps I should sell it to the USA for a sweet profit!

I apparently snuck in with a bunch of GTRS (they have since put up more GTT's with GTR badges)

Good things take time my friend. I've had my n1 for 12 months and it is still not complied.

Mine is complied now Lucas

Your idea of having a separate pinned N1 subforum might not be a bad one.

There are at least 3 reasons why that I can think of.

Hi Terry,

Good to hear you have it complied.......... Will you bring it on Sunday?

I think there should be model sub-forums. Eg: R32 section, R33 section and R34 section etc,

Cheers... Bob.

I'll come across at least for the start Bob. I'm still suffering from bronchitis and something in last night's pizza set off an asthma attack. I haven't had asthma since 1981 and I moved out of Sydney to escape the smog that could precipitate it. I'd like to bring the BNR32 across yes.

Well done Terry...........

Your patience is a lot more controlled than mine.

I think I would have throttled someone by now.

Did you end up using any of my old bits and bobs?

I hope you can still bring it tomorrow.

I've just finished the interior and wheels on mine but need a break as it's too hot in the sun to wash the rest of the car.

I'll finish it off after 5:00pm.

C U tomorrow?

Bob.

I'm coming just to the assembly Bob at McGraths Hill.

Many thanks to you, I've used the F&R Suspension + the as new steering wheel.

I'm not sure if I'll bring the BNR32 because it needs lower profile tyres on it to eliminate a bit of scrubbing at the front.

Started detailing in spots.

And thank you too for the sticker which is a beauty.

I've pulled a Billy Joel Cassette - lol

Very 90's Jap glovebox gauge setup there, Terry. Will you leave it as is.. or yank it out & go original?

Hi Raj,

I like it as it is.

Bob supplied me with the boost controller too > fits into the pod.

Thanks for your thoughts - even if there are loving criticisms.

Opted for the Fujimura Splitter - Its decal spot is an exact fit with the N1 decal.

Very nice choice. An N1 with character :)

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
