hey guys!

Yea i finally got my hands on my very first skyline! I was looking for series 2 at the beginning but ended up buying series 1.

So far I'm loving it, makes a great noise and goes reasonable enough for now. It's not as much modified as some other skylines around but does the job for now.

Full 3" Jasma exhaust

Hybrid frount mount

HKS pod

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller

JE Design 3 piece wheels 18x10 at the back :P

Upgraded struts and lowered

A really dark TINT!

Also just bought GTR style grill and will be looking into series 2 front bar

nice car bro congrats

only thing I don't like is the front bar :P

would look much better with a modified 95 m-spec front bar :D

ohh and lowest legal ride height in NSW is 100mm ground clearance at the lowest point on the car ...

so if your exhaust is the lowest point on your car it has to be at least 100mm of the ground to be legal :P

it seems to be sitting at a nice height now I wouldn't go to much lower than what it is now

hope this helps

welcome to the skyline fraternity !!! :D

Min legal eyebrow height for R32 and R33 turbo models is 360 mm from centre of wheel to guard (in SA).

Almost every skyline on the road would be too low - that is really quite high.

Looking at yours I'd say it would be under that.

congrats on the buy mate....car looks in good condition....but if you were going to get a different front bar i would just go for an aftermarket kit....as changing you lights, hood and the lot will be expensive and you will look like a SII tryhard....just go with an aftermarket kit all around....it will look a lot better with SI lights and all....

Hey chops......I got my R34 GTR through inspection last week and spoke to Paul from Vehicle Standards at Regency 1300 882 248 first to find out the minimum heights.

He said that the R34 Turbos were 340 Front & 345 Rear.......Non turbos might be different.

Rang him again 10 minutes ago and asked him about R32 & R33.......he said 345 Front & 355 Rear.......again, Non turbos might be different because he couldn't find a listing for GTR's but wanted to know if it was Turbo or not.

So now it begs the question, are ride heights for single turbos different to twin turbos?.....who knows how these guys operate.......probably varies with each inspector and how he translates the rules.

Thanks again for the replies :D

I don't mind the front bar too much but just makes the car look a bit dull!

Also just bought the gtr style grill so hopefully that will make slight difference :)

No mods will be done at this stage, as the car goes enough as it is (on high boost tho! )

cheers

My info is from the 11/2004 version of the document - there may be a more current version but I can't find one.

The info you got agrees with the info in the document for R34 GTRs, and the info he gave you on R32s and R33s seems to be for non turbo models.

I've attached a copy here for all to see.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
