You can get almost anything to play Dvd's, not much of a problem there..

Increasing power is alot more harder and costly on n/a skylines ( non - turbo )

I suggest if you're looking for power, look into a turbo.

Mods like exhausts, pods or other simple mods won't make much power difference..

There's lots of other cars you can get for the money you're paying for the r34 non-turbo..

yeah but its realy for my girlfriend who crashed the s13 so i dont want her to have to much power but I think she just wants it to sound sweet out the exaust so i should just get a cannon on the back. Im going to have a look and drive this arvo will post pics then.

P.S she's more about style rather than power she just realy want to play music clips in the car on the standard monitor.If I just buy a dvd headunit will do the job i hope. but I have tryed to tell her to shop around but she has her heart set.

Will have pics this arvo

This pic is of my ride

hey took it for a test drive not bad fair bit of power didnt realise the exaust is so small what is a good exaust to get is it ok to get it from the cat back or just go the whole shebang extractors etc? any pics on exausts would be nice heres some pics i got .

If you look closely you will see the cd /tv/nav. with the audio -video plugs on the side.would a dvd/mp3 plug straight into this monitor im not sure because it was dissabled at the time.

many thanks

May aswell go the whole way, make sure the piping is no bigger than 2.5 inches, and a big cannon might not be the best option unless it's providing suitable back pressure..

Hey Alex I like your four door its exactly what im thinking of getting when I sell the Gtst 33. Need to start saving for a house and I love the look of 34 four doors.

Chris

Oh thanks dood, its my pride and joy, that car doesnt skip a beat, i dont even drive the car cold, i wont start it until it has fully warmed up,i honestly take more car of the car then i take care of myself, i service it every 10,000 km with Motul Turbo light oil and change the oil filter, ive changed the coil packs with top of the line splitfire ones cause the normal ones are crap and go eventually, changed the spark plugs to NGK's changed the timing belt to gates timing belt, changed all over belts just for piece of mind, it has king springs, 2.25 exhaust catback and im now looking for a high flow cat to fit aswell. Um changed the rear speakers just cause i had some good ones sitting around. The car has no leaks what so ever and i believe it can pass absolutely any inspection. The car is perfect on the exterior, one or two stone chips but im having that fixed. I will be selling the car soon, cause im looking for a turbo 34 or a highly modified 33. Heres a pic of the car on a cruze i was on. Oh yeah the car has warranty but i told them to shove it cause i dont trust them servicing my car with crappy mobil and castrol oils. So i started servicing it myself so i can be sure the work has been done. Ill be selling the car soon, oh and it is unbelivable on petrol i always put premium fuel and 60 bucks will get u a full tank and it can do approx 500km per tank with the aircon. And it has a pod airfilter with chrome shield.

NO 2.25" is too small. Stock exhaust is 2.5". Just make sure you use a decent quality muffler (not straight through) and incorporate a resonator. My 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust NEVER drones

Heres a few questions, is your car a 34, is your car auto. Mine is a 34 and it is auto and its is N/A and it drones heaps now it just has a 2 and a 1/4, 34's have a reputation for being louder then 33's i have a resenator and an awsome "drift" tip which i payed $220 for. The r34 stocko ones arent 2.5 they are 2". So trust me dont get a 2.5 on an Auto, on a manual maybe but defenetly not on an auto.

And Chris, yeah its NA so now i want to move up cause i recon i can handle a turbo car and want to modify it sort of as a project. Im thinking of buying a 4 door again if i can find a manual one but they are almost impossible in 4 door. But will probably go with the 2 door just for a bit of change. Good luck with your sale to man. That is when u sell it lol. And when i sell mine if ur really interested i might be willing to negotiate a special price for u :thumbsup:

my car is a manual r33.

it seems unlikely r34s are louder than r33s given they use the same engine (with a neo shroud). yeah auto trans can make the exhaust a bit more droney

Yeah the piping was different with the 33's and 34's for some reason and the engine isnt the same the 34's have a neo head fitted which the r33's dont. The power output is very similar however torque varies abit, the head was designed to lower emissions it also produces more torque at lower rpm's. Trust me my exhaust is 2 and 1/4 inch and its way louder then my maits on who has a r33 manual NA but his is also 2 and 1/4 inch. Also i dont know if u get this but my mates one makes a rattle noise after like 4000rpm. My 34 Doesnt do that. But mine at lower rpm's drones, anything after 2000 rpm sounds nice. The problem is you can drive 70km'h and it will drive at 1500rpm.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
