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...

hey mate.

what size rims are u running.

like size and offset.

i have a r34 4Door also. except mine is a GTS model.

i have just put on some axis Hiro 19x9.5 +25 all round on mine. And i must say they certainly fill the gaurds ha ha

a big car needs big tough jap looking rims.

Any pics mate? U would have had to roll ur guards??

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:

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
