Im always happy to help, If you dont get a closer offer, Im at castle hill, PM me and I will send you my address. No issues with Wed arvo anytime after 5pm.

I have done my GTR a couple of times, but never done a GTT before, but once the top cover is off it should be the same. I have the tools and am happy to help.

I assume you have the new plugs and know what gap you want?

boost low=7 high = 9.

coil packs = stock (unless someone has changed them)

i think ill take up your offer OZ :yucky: (and borrow ur engine)

i've been told .8 is what i want. ill get some new NGK plugs wed morning :kiss: (pm being sent shortly :sick:)

If you go to Auto One in Springwood they have R34s listed in their catalogues. don't forget to tell them it is a turbo.

When you get the plugs give me a call. I am happy to give you a hand. I'm at Bullaburra, just up the road.

hmm be careful you can't really clean platinum plug you will just wreck the coating on the electrode.....better off to put new plugs in, copper are nice and cheap just change them every time you change the oil

yer, unfortunatly none avail @ 9-10pm, but we used a rough scrubbing brush (not metal) so it should have left the coating on :)

thanks to everyone who has helped and offered help, their time and advice :)....im sure it wont be the last time.

Glad to hear the car is going OK. I have to agree with Drunkan about changing plugs, however I would stick with platinums simply 'cos of the rooting around factor involved in changing them.

I will give you a call anyway, I'm going to the Royal on Saturday night for a few - I'll see if Fatz and Majanal will be along as well. A mate is playing in the band "Enormous Hornbags". Should be a bit of Blues Brothers type music.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
