Yup, well finally, here is my little R34 SKYLINE, Manual GT-T Sedan.. Pearl White and it is simply a pleasure to drive, since July I've done close to 15,000km in it and I'm still not bored.

Considering I used to drive an N/A auto VL Berlina, this is an entire world away from that... These pics are after I gave my car its first cut-back polish and wax.. Again, a big thats to Paul, Alistair and all of Autoworx who at the time help me with the car, big thanks to you guys.. I'm really a happy chappy!

Just a question dudes and dudettes...

Does anyone think that my wheels/rims don't fill the guards enough??

A few of my mates have said this and I kinda see their point.. Are they right? or am I delusional??

Bigger rims? Get some aftermarket springs/shocks for a lower ride height??

I can report this though, I don't know if many Skyline drivers take their rides on gravel roads, I have to as I live in the country, but I can tell you all.. The Skyline is equally at home on gravel as it is on bitumen, many of the locals that drive typically 'country' cars, such as commodores, falcons, magnas, statesmans, avalons, aurions and the likes.. None of them, and I will say, NONE of them handle, road hold and are as stable as the Skyline... Really me and my old man couldn't believe it, but it is true, and I have no idea how they (Nissan) managed it, but this thing is just simply awesome on gravel..

thats a hell clean 34 mate, good work on gettin it hehe, as 4 the wheels they do sit in a bit, wat u can do is either get a new set with lower offset, or just whack sum bolt on spacers 4 those rims, if u want 2 lower it id recommend gettin sum coilovers.

Oh, I thought it was an N/A GT-4...

Yeah, that is one thing that really suprised me too, going from a VL though, what do you expect... The VL used to handle like a shopping trolley on cocaine...

yer at the moment is running stock height so there mega clearance.

But i will get my guards rolled and pumped so that i can lower it heaps.

the wheels sit outside my guard alittle bit. but once i pump out the guards and lower it the wheels will also camber in abit which will help out a bit.

The wheels look phat as tho.

here is a pic with my car riding at full height. Needs about -5inch suspension. :thumbsup:

Hey mate, nice car, ive got a 34 4-door as well. Ive got the R34 GTR rims on mine with lowered springs, fill out the guards pretty nice. Cant go wrong with a decent set of 18s. If i was you id get some work XT7s for it in bronze. Very nice car though mate, nice and clean, good to see more of these puppies getting around. Here's a pic of mine:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
