yeah I wouldn't plan to be parking there. it will be surrounding streets basically whatever you can find. maybe do some skyline car-pooling? :P

dontfeelcold and silhouette are in.

Hi all

Looking for a bit of help, and was wondering whether anyone who has a R34 GTT (preferable) or R33 GTST with SydneyKids group buy kit installed, could give me a quick ride in their car (passenger of course, but if you're willing, driver is also okay).

I wanted to see first hand how the setup deals with crap roads, bumps and so forth.

I am not so concerned with handling because I know it is already top notch, so dont need to be shown how well it corners and so forth.

Can anyone possibly assist? It would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

Hey all,

Firstly a quick intro...

The names Jonathon and i work in the motorsport and development division of Bilstein Australia, which is located within Heasmans.

Thanks for the interest you guys have shown in the night so far. It will be good to see you all come along and pick our brains and check out our facilities and what we do.

One thing Beer Baron hasnt mentioned is that there will be a BBQ dinner for all the SAU members attending. This is included in the night so theres no cost! :(

As for parking, there is limited parking available both out the front and behind. I would recommend coming down the lane at the back as the driveway from the princes hwy is a front spoiler killer. You can also park on the grass out the back if you can get your car up the small gutter.

Anyway, see you all there tomorrow night. :P

Cheers,

Jono

Thanks Jono, I should have mentioned it, but it either slipped my mind, or I think last time I spoke to Neil we hadn't confirmed what we were doing exactly bbq wise.

i finish work at 7ish, would get there at around 730 or just after, would this be a problem?

Even though the skyline has a complete setup from Heasmans looks like i might have to drive the swift because one injector on the line isnt firing properly..

or should i burble it down there and hopefully get some advice, get it looked at in general?

Thanks

Ed

they wont be looking at peoples cars to give specific advice. it's just a general info session. so yeah it doesn't matter if you come by skyline, swift, scooter or skateboard.

I have 3/4 of the kit in 33 gtst

the shocks, springs, sway bars and front castor

If we have time can take you for a test drive, I'll drive though :thumbsup:

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
