So you just replaced the oil and it has fixed everything? :P

Sweet, that is great

the happy ending was refering to "polishing" =P will pay cash for someone to do it for cheap? :mrt:

and nah, oil didnt fix it. its booked in monday at boostworx. Infact, i think the noise is slowly getting louder and the new oil has quietened the overall noise of the the rest of the car significatly so the tapping REALLY stands out now (you can actually hear it if you stand next to the car with the bonnet down, where as you couldnt before)

its been sugested that its valve clearances and requires a new shim, but i might take it to the meet point befor the cruise on sunday just to get some other opinions.. then again, not too keen on driving it still - despite many people saying it should be fine

also should be getting new brake pads this week!! woot! some brake places are recomending i get my discs machined, not sure if its really needed tho

good to hear evythingis going well with your car =) got pics of front bar, going to wait till its completed/painted first?

Anyone watch Initial D on SBS last night? First time i seen it, and must say, WTF with all the jumping screen shots, and freezing frames LOL. Then again, I've never seen the cartoons either so wouldnt have a clue how it compares to the action scenes in teh cartoon.

Overall, average movie I think, but amusing none the less.

I have photo's of it unpainted but i think i might be putting it in the shed for its unvieling at autosalon this year maybe but still deciding on that one.

You will just have to believe me for now that it looks very nice and for anyone that is interested it is a top Secret front bar made for the GTT not the GTR one.

If you look in the bodykits section on the forums you will find it in the r34 bodykits section.

Hmm I am glad you are getting it checked out.... hope its not to major :mellow:

was never not going to get it checked out, i just want to learn as much as i can, i think its important to get to know your car so that you can properly maintain it. So while i was waiting for some money to come in, i figured try out a few things to see if i could resolve the problem myself =)

i think the Power FC must have been "reset" when it was taken out for compliance, and is probably the cause of the problem =P but it'll be in the hands of experts now

Yep I am the same and learning as I go along :)

I just got my PFC and havent installed it yet, might be doing it tonite..I hope that is the problem and you get it all sorted out and back on the road :D

even if PFC was reset is should go to factory nissan GTR spec's there fore shouldn't cause any drama's

yeah, unless the previous owner was some kinda fruit loop who did crazy stuff?!?!? =P

oh well, miss out on sunday cruise =( but boostworx loving on monday and brake pads arriving shortly =D

    • 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
