Hi everyone, I've also just joined this site and wanted to say hi.

I flew to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and picked up my new toy (R34 GT-R V-Spec) from a dealer then drove it back to Adelaide.

I've purchased a whole bunch of bolt on bits in the meantime (Garrett Turbos, fuel upgrade bits, bigger intercooler, Power FC etc) that I'll be fitting once I get it through inspection.

I'll probably do most of the work myself but I need a good tuner for the Power FC so I'd love to hear everybodys thoughts.

Here are some pics of the car at the dealership before I picked it up.

If you see a grey R34 GT-R with yellow NSW plates while your on the road, come and introduce yourself so I can put faces to the names on this site.

Cheers Pete

Hi welcome to SAU

have you been in the Pasadena area recently? as i think i have seen you a few time. Car looks really clean

yeh I reckon I have been through there a couple of times. Give us a wave next time you see me.

I sometimes ride a full custom black and silver bike through that area, the 'SLED'.

nice ride mate. Welcome to SAU. Looks like the engine has been out, as the cam cover "RB26" is not normally been painted red from memory.

So it's got an oil cooler, HSK intercooler .... what other bits does it have?

How much did u pick it up for? (if you don't mind me asking). It's amazing how there are so many around for under $60k, yet there are still some dreamers asking up to $100k for them.

Enjoy your new toy :teehee:

Price wise your not far off the mark. It has got an oil cooler and HKS piping but a standard intercooler (for now).

Motor hasn't been out though, all R34 V-Specs have red covers while the NUR's have silver ones.

It's also got TEIN suspension so its a bit of a hard ride even on the softest setting.

KAKIMOTO dual exhaust from CAT back, but the front half will get a change too pretty soon.

nice ride you have there..... though why mod it, wouldn't it be quick enough as is hahahaha :teehee:

Hi Glen, you're right it is pretty quick at the moment but I'm a bit of a rev head so it's never quick enough unfortunately.

can my car have your cars babies?

Hi Cara,

I tell you what, you've got a pretty good looking machine yourself so their offspring could look like a baby 2008 R35 GTR.

I think if our cars ever met we would have our hands full trying to pry them apart!!!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
