Greetings from Canada :) Some of you may know that the R34 GTR just became legal in our country. We have a law stating that vehicles not manufactured for the North American market must be 15 years old or older to be eligible for import. My last Skyline was a 1992 R32 GTST I bought back in 2007. Very happy to have one of the first (legally imported) R34 GTR's in the country :)

Needs a wash and the front diffuser needs a bit of work, but I love it immensely.

Have you got plans for your GT-R? Are you navigating through SAU quite easily? Searching through our For Sale threads?

I am navigating very well thanks :) I've actually been a member here since I had my R32 in 2007... I just never, ever post. I am a bit more active on the GTRCanada but not by much.

Most of the year in northern BC by the Alberta border. GTR is currently garaged in Vancouver since all the gravel on the roads from winter would not play nice with the windscreen and paint. It will come up here with me in June or so during our summer... before I likely move back in December-ish.

I am probably begin with some cosmetic mods, interior bits, wheels, and repairing the front diffuser. The bonnet dampers I ordered from Japan just arrived at my place in Vancouver today, along with the parts to swap out the factory navigation so I can fit a proper stereo that works in Canada. The car came with most of the significant stuff done to it. TRUST exhaust, Tein coilovers, HKS boost controller, etc... Not super keen on opening up the engine yet having only had it for just over a month now.

There are actually a number of photos of your car saved on my drive in my "inspiration" folder... though I didn't know it was yours at the time!

    • 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
