Here we see the elusive GeeTeeTee trying to grab traction in the wild

:rofl: I even read that in the narrators voice lolz

Faster than a speeding billet, leaps tall culverts in a single bound: look, it's a bird: it's plane: it's SuperMat!!!

(Now that's Sigworthy Mat!)

Tempting :yes:

Car looks nice Peter.

Smoking it up as always Mat.

Haha looks like a couple of tv shows in the making :)

Always ;) I worked out straight line standing starts are not my thing, i better practice cornering instead lol

I guess before I said something about Rego plates I should have put my car on the post , so here it is :unsure:

I will swap for your RED one , it is stunning :wub:

I hate my car atm so its all yours haha

I just noticed you dont seem to have a front or rear diffuser on your GTR does this mean its a non v-spec?

Yes, it is not a V-spec, I asked a couple of times on different posts about this and also asked if I take the logo off , will it stuff the paint up.

Just had one reply so far that said if I use a heat gun/dryer that I should be able to take it off without damage???

I do not want bullsh@t on my car, it was there when I bought it, probably added a few $s for DHs like me, but I did not know any better and if I did would not have cared, just loved the Rs, it will be my last car and I intend to enjoy it :yes:

Next week this car will be around 370KWAW as a daily , it should have much more response and kick in about 3k , the motor has enough internal mods to take it to 800HP with a new fuel system , so I do not think I need to boast by putting a BS logo on the back bumper, sure do LUV it , do I have to take it OFF :blush:

OK I will take it :action-smiley-069: Just love to put it in my lounge room :wub:

I took the front and back diffusers off as they are useless for a DD , cannot get up my driveway :no: I also cannot lie straight in bed :woot:

Will post the new Dyno readouts next week , has to be better than this

Sh@t, just wrote a long post and lost it in cyber space, BUT I said I would have taken any of the Rs, I loved the look, the history of this machine and its ability to be Modified :wub:

I said I would never buy a black car because they are HOT and get DIRTY when you just look at them BUT look like a million $s when clean, do not blink or you will miss the moment :woot:

I think I would like to change the wheels, like the black but I think a little bling looks good down low, any suggestions :action-smiley-069:

Black is a good look and I got to luvit, but I think I would prefer to change the rims but running out of $ so that might be a while , maybe I they will grow on me :yes:

Lowering it, funny you should say that, when I have been driving around 3 or 4 blokes gave me the :thumbsup: but signed me to lower it, now you have got me looking at it again, haha

I asked at the shop when I dropped it in about lowering it and he said it is not far off legal now , is it 100mm to the lowest point? I know it is higher than my 350GT because I can get up my driveway easier in the R34. I think there is a trade off between looks and bad road conditions??

Also, up here the potholes and lumps on the roads can be a pain and the road I like to drive the most is one of the worst , good straights and lots of windy sections but crappy road surface in sections and it changes all the time because they patch it , it rains and stuffed again :rolleyes: I have done 2 tyres on the 350GT on this road, bloody potholes :rant:

I will ask the shop how much can I lower it, the cops up here are pretty hard on some mods especially if they can see them :teehee:

Yes, it is not a V-spec, I asked a couple of times on different posts about this and also asked if I take the logo off , will it stuff the paint up.

yeah not too long on the heat gun just enough to soften up the glue (too much will dmg stuff and potentially warp the plastic if you go crazy)

Lift an edge and peel slowly re applying heat if necessary but probably wont need to.. If you want to be anal and can manage it some fishing wire will help get it off easier too

Will definately look alot better without it as its not a genuine sticker.

I've always wanted a set of diffusers but fark paying insane money for them! Goodluck with the retune, Joey has been telling me about it here and there

Thanks Dave , I will take the heat to it when I get it home next week. Fishing wire, you mean run it under the sticker after I lift the end? Why do they put this BS stuff on, just made me mad when I found out it is fake because I am worried about the paint trying to get it off :blush:

I have only found a couple of RED R3s on the web , one was in East Germany, Your pics were the best :thumbsup: was this a standard colour in the R3 range,only had one red car a TT300ZX , just loved it and a ton of fun :geek:

Joey has been a great help and being able to PM him made it easy for me as I know I have asked some dumb questions, poor Joe, haha. Getting help from you blokes has made it so much easier trying to get the results I am after, I will know if it worked out as expected next week and will post the Dyno results to get your collective input :thumbsup: More important I will tell you how it drives now as that is the test for me :happy:

I have had over 20 cars but never really got into them like this and I am enjoying it. It will probably be my last car, what a way to go out :banana: :banana: :banana:

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
