I found this steering wheel in FAST! it IS a factory option!! amazing...

does it say factory option even for r34 ??????cause i figured out the old jap owner of my car had alot of aftermaket stuff on it and i recon he may of just got hold of that steering wheel when he was selling the car so he could take a sports one off??????? this is of cause if it wasnt factory option for r34.

1. What's the VIN number?

2. How do you know its a 40th Anniversary model? None of the photo's he's given you show any 40th Anniversary badging and it doesnt seem to have any of the 40th Anniversary options like front bar or spoiler. FAST will clear that up. It doesn't have to have any of the options to be a 40th anniversary but it does need the badging.

3. Bit of strange looking rust on drive side front quarter panel seem

4. Needs new tyres.

I have been on the phone to the owner a couple of times over the past week, seems like a very nice and honest guy, yes the gearstick and handbrake boots have been replaced because when he got the car there was a big rip/cut in the gearstick boot so he replaced both the boots so they match up, the funny thing is he gave me some bad news lol, his farther was driving the car and hit a dog which cracked the bumper, but its going in to a reputable panel shop on monday to get fixed (he said he hates bog so hes getting it fixed the right way, which is good) i will be getting the car check out in sometime in the next few weeks and may even get a speedo/odometer check done on it for peice of mind

The car "is" a 40th aniversary, i saw a few exterior pics of it on the website it was advertised on, has the 40th aniversary badging on the rear quater panels, it also has the plastic CAS cover (same as the r34 CAS) which only came on the 1998 40th aniversary r33's so i have read.But overall the car seems in pretty good nick i think :miner:

Have a look at the pics od the motor,Its just the little black plastic cover thats bolted to the CAS, its meant to be the same as the r34, only the 40th aniversary r33's have it, which is what i have read on this forum and that seems to be correct from all the other series 1's and 95,96 and 97 r33's i have seen pics of.

CAS=crank or cam angle sensor (some guys call it crank angle sensor others call it the cam angle sensor) its the round silver dome looking thing that is bolted to the front of the cambelt cover, and has a plug and wiring loom plugged into the bottom of it.It is connected to the exhaust camshaft and acts like a distrubutor on normall cars like hondas etc etc, sorry im not very good at explaining things :miner: lol

well there you go...I thought i had all the 40th anniv. differences pretty much down...but I didnt know about that 1....Looked at photos of my car when it was still in japan, and saw the cover, but i couldnt remember seeing it on the car...so was thinking maybe they left it off at compliance when they did my timing belt, water pump etc....

just went and had a look at my car, and there it is hehe

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
