Well, after a couple of months of sweating the ID inspection, I got the 34 with NSW plates through Sturt Police today.

I thought that it would be referred to Regency for further inspection but it didn't happen. One of the boxes on the inspection sheet asks if further inspection is necessary but he ticked the 'NO' box......whew. :thumbsup:

Obviously coilovers, lowered slightly, airpods, wheelspacers, Kakimoto Dual N1 exhaust & BBS wheels with 265 rubber are all OK as long as they're within spec and all mounted well.

Now I can finally bolt on all the stuff that I've been acumulating for a few months.

good to hear :thumbsup:

Thanks Cara

hey congrats man!

post up some pics with the new goodies??

Thanks, I'll try.........but its things like bigger garrett turbos, cams, power fc, hks elec boost controller, injectors, fuel pump rail & reg, bigger tube & fin fmic, different air pods, improve existing exhaust with split dump pipes etc, better clutch and a few other hidden things.

Most of that stuff you don't realy see unfortuantely.

what garret turbos u thinking?

Wanted to stay low mount so I've already bought a pair of GT2860R 707160 -5.

No point in going top mounts or big single unless it sees the track or drag strip more than the street.

Not wasting any time are you? 350-400rwkW here we come.

*cough* and some 32s * cough*

*cough* and some stageas *cough*...lol ;)

Seriously though, the 2860rs -5 are basically the same size as the standard turbos from the research ive done recently, just with steel wheels.

Ive just fitted the 2860rs-7 to my 260rs, which in my case was the biggest i could go and keep them low mount cos theres not alot of room under there! The next up from there is either a -9 or -10 which the exhaust housings were too large to be mounted, but also they dont come on boost til very late either so it doesnt make it very streetable as a daily.

Not gospel of course, just what i had found out doing some poking around, so might be something you want to check! :(

i think you got the sizes mixed up

2860-5 (2530's) isnt same size as the standard turbos, and -5 is bigger than -7

Had me worried there for a minute :) . Just did some research and found the standard turbos have a .53 housing (actually stamped on the turbos) where the -5 has a .60 & .64 respectively. The -10 has a .64 with an optional .86 housing (too laggy for street and too narrow power band).

Also found out something interesting.....all new GT28 housings out of Garrett now are stamped 2560R but specs are still the same as 2860R....this straight from their website:

For those familiar with our product range, this means that the unit formerly known as "the GT28R" (part number 466541-1) is now in the GT25R family. More specifically, it is now a GT2560R model.

Wow, I can't believe it got through with wheel spacers - it really was your lucky day.

Sounds like your plans are for a nice tough real streetable GTR.

Surprised me thats for sure......probably because the wheels are just inside the guards that he didn't look or care about it.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
