Thanks Richie! Going up for sale soon. To be replaced with a turbo :)

Awesome! Be sure to post some pics up of that one too

Terry - Your sold your blue one already!?!? Haha, how quickly did that sell.... clearly says something about it

Your new one is a stunner, even more so than your last.

It's actually Matt's.

...and it was part of a parade of cars on Legends Night.

It was formerly owned by Terry Ashwood as a New Japanese Import with 3,000Kms on it.

My former B/Blue VS2 was parked next to Matt's VS2 Nur

And thanks for your comments Richie :thumbsup:

That's right Skyline - I'd been admiring that one (R34NUR) from afar for a while :rolleyes:. It was sold in the last 2 years or so, is that right?

But that's just the way my car ended up; aside from the wheels, the car was bought as-is. In my mind, the 19" LMGT4s suit the car perfectly, no? I have some 20" gold GT-Cs which came with the car, which I'd take offers on...

As it happens, my car was bought by its original owner when it has done only 3,000kms and imported it in 2003, and had these exact wheels on the car from that time. The 2nd owner kept the LMGT4s as spares; they've since made their way back to the car again :thumbsup:

Hey Matt! Yeah that's the one :)

Interesting you say that, as it pieces the history of this R34 GTR together.

But just to clear up, they are two different cars, but just look similar?

Sorry, that's right - 2 different cars. Mine, a V.spec II Nur (one of 750), was bought by Terry Ashwood (owner of the Gibson Motorsport cars) from Japan when almost-new. So it's been in Oz since about 2002-3. There's been a 2nd Aussie owner between him and me. I added the "NUR 1" NSW licence plate. The 19" LMGT4s you see on it have always been together with the car, but it's had 20" GTCs on it at various times. The 2nd owner bought the genuine Nismo R Tune bonnet; but the Nismo front bumper and "eyebrows" were on the car from new.

The car in the earlier post, is an M.spec Nur (one of 250) and I'd read about it some time ago. Belonged to a NZ owner, with the number plate "R34NUR". I'd admired the look of this car for a while, but the fact my car looks similar is just a coincidence. It has the same wheels (although the rear ones appear to stick out a bit further from the rear guards in that photo) but doesn't have the Nismo front bumper or R Tune bonnet. It does have the assymetric front bumper with oil cooler vents though. I'm not sure where this car ended up? I remember reading that it was for sale a while back.

Sorry for the multiple edits, I can't post the rear end shot of the M spec for some reason.

Yep, gotcha Matt!

Make sense and yes I can see all the differences that you mentioned :)

Both cars (NUR 1 and R34NUR) even have the same strut brace, which got my attention too.

Both cars have same good taste in mods :laugh:

Jamie.

Cheers Jamie :thanks:

It does too! A HKS Kansai strut bar! Dad's (Terry's) got the Nismo Titanium strut bar that was also with my car at one stage. Will make an appearance on his new car...

Referring back to that M.spec, looks like it was making 412kW atw using GT2530s.

Ah, so your Terry_GT-R34 son...

I see GTR's run in the family :laugh:

Crazy! 412kW is epic for a street car.

Thought i would share some pics of my new car, not sure if there are many around in this colour?

Just took a couple of pics today before my new wheels go on that arrived today... hopefully get them on this weekend..

Still a few things i want to do visually but wheels will be a good start..

Matt, nice to see your car mate, looks awesome, look forward to seeing the beast in person some time.

Cheers,

Anthony

Yeah Jamie. I found Terry's first GTR in the Trading Post; a midnight purple R33 :)

Looks the goods Anthony. :thumbsup: I think the yellows tend to fade if not looked after, and that one you've got there looks nice and bright.

Smoked Nismo indicators, V spec splitter, and some adjustable coilovers and that thing will look mad!

Did you end up buying the Omoris?

Yea mate, the yellow is very bright on it... althought the plastic parts (rear tail light surround etc) tend to fade a little differently unfortunately, but they can be easily sprayed if required.

Didnt end up going with the omoris as i wanted 10.5wide instead of 9.5, and i wanted matte black instead of gloss.... and also wanted 19s.. ended up getting 19x10.5 +22 TE37SL finished from the factory in matte black.. look very nice, hoping they look just as good on the car as they do off!

Currently looking for front splitter and skirts etc.. so they shouldnt be too far behind..

Cheers,

Anthony

Congrats again and well done on the TE37 SLs. Had been admiring those matte SLs but it'd be black on black in the case of my car = murdered out!

Will look awesome on the yellow.

In fact the colour reminds me of this (sorry, slightly OT):

ruf_ctr_yellowbird.jpg

Twin turbo 6, 350kW in a 1150kg body, 11.9 sec quarter... in 1987.

Yea im looking forward to seeing how mine will look at the end,

I tried searching for pics on the net of a yellow 34gtr done exactly how i want it set up and i couldnt find one...

most had huge bodykits or chrome/alloy wheels...

Cheers,

Anthony

Hey Anthony congrats on the R34 purchase.

That car was on carsales 4 a while. I remember it was one of the 1st R34's brought to oz.

I think the TE37 in matte black will look awesome.

Front carbon splitter lip, Carbon Ganador Mirrors and a Top Secret Rear Diffuser.

Thats what I would personal do if I had that.

Also clear front and side indicators

Once again congrats on a very nice car

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.  
    • And if it still spikes, just for now, turn off VCT completely by disabling it OR simply unplug the solenoid. Just to rule out excessive exhaust pressure. I recall a video from Motive DVD about a decade ago, where Hawkins original single Garrett GTX3582 or so turbo had boost control issues sub 1.4bar of boost as well.   Food for thought? Is there anyway you can peg the WG completely open and/or dodgily not plumb it back into your exhaust system for testing purposes?
