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.

First time at an SAU meet! Legends Night.

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

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
