well here's some pics of the r34 last week and i will post up some pics of the car tomorrow night, should be nearly just a shell, not bad for a day and a halfs work,

then we need to make a chassis frame so we can rotate it and also use it to ship to sydney to get the shell acid dipped.

yes it's a really nice car,

bloody dirty under neath though!! friggin road cars, who'd work on em! lol

i promise you it will be reborn!! this thing is going to be something special, you should see the gear for it!!

didnt get the car finished(stripped) should have it ready to take to work and take the subframes & glass out tuesday,

there some really cool engineering changes from the r32 to this, great to pull it apart and see all the differences.

mind you i have never worked on an unmodified r33 so big differences for me.

speak soon guys

yeah, who would put aftermarket wheels on that look like poor copies of the real thing & talk about bloody heavy!!

the front bar is genuine nismo it's got a badge and part number fibre glassed into it! & nismo lights in it.

No diffusers so non v spec hey. At least you won't have to worry about that issue I was telling you about.

Also - not sure what your diff plans are right now but I ditched my V Spec diffs for a standard non v spec (but tightened) mechanical one and I can't fault it at all. Its definitely better than the V Spec one was.

PS - Bayside Blue R34's FTW :D

if it's a non-vspec diff you should be able to buy the clutch pack upgrade from nismo/nissan for the rear. they are quite good with that upgrade. other than that I have no idea how to choose between them really. cusco/tomei/nismo/ATS/kaaz/OS Giken they all make GTR diffs and all have their fans. for this car considering it's all out balls to the wall maybe look at a pair of carbon diffs.

Russ - basically what Baron said. Standard Nissan diff with upgraded clutch packs. It's brilliant. That was kinda what my point was to tell you if you didn't already have diff plans to just get the one you have upgraded to start with.

    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
