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.

Yeah thanks for that. I'm thinking that the 1 inch lower height for the R34 GTR's is probably more to do with the guard shape rather than the overall height.

Wonder why then that the turbo's have a different ride height in the same body style.

wats it running on high boost....as in how many psi's and wat power is it making...just keen as i got a S1 as well....

Its running 15psi on high boost, as for the power i have no idea mate i just got the car couple of days ago.

Can anyone guess from the experience what it could be making at the rear wheels with my mods and boost ?

iLEC - cheers for the heads up mate, I'm getting the premium plates anyway.

cheers

I'm guessing about 180-190ish rwkw? give or take... whack it on the dyno at the upcoming SAU Dyno Day :D

What turbo you got? aftermarket, hi flowed or standard? 15psi be a bit much for standard...

Ok just got home and it actually runs on 14psi, sorry for the 1psi mistake :(

Yes i am thinking of coming down to a dyno day just not sure if i will be working that day.

Its a standard turbo from what i know.

14 PSI sounds a bit too high with your mods atm.

Without an aftermarket fuel pump i doubt you would be up at 190 though. If it has ben PROPERLY dyno'd at 15psi then you may have a highflowed turbo?

Oh and to change the front bar you will need new head lights, bonnet and guards. S1 guards and S2 headlights dont exactly match up off the top of my head.

Maybe invest in a type-m or GTR rear spoiler i say.

Nice 33! Running 14psi eyy... get ready to pick up some turbo blades when they fly out your exhaust.

Ive got the same front bar as that too, I don't really like it but when you weigh up the cost of putting a "type-m" bar on it, I don't think its worth it unless you find one in your colour. Don't go after market fibreshit bodykit either, they look ghey IMO.

Oh and dnbutts that is a type-m spoiler, its just a series 1 version :)

Thanks, 99.99% of the time it runs on low boost, all i do is driving around the city at the moment so i dont even go over 3k rpm's :P

How do you tell if the turbo is high flowed ?

cheers

Cheers man, yeah id be happy with 170 mark as im not chasing any big numbers now. Its my daily drivers so most of the time its babied.

I'll let you know when i get my new front bar.

Thanks man, yeah i like the 400r bar but id really like a genium bar, not a big fan of fiberglass stuff. Perhaps mspec bar would suit the car.

I looked into drift spoilers but got this one instead as it squares up the rear

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.

Sled,

Apologies for cutting across the topic, but my R34 GTT seems to have been lowered a touch too much in the front, by the previous Japanese owner.

Do you know where Paul may have got his data on the ride height for the front and rear?

Mines is a s--tload lower, and I'd like to re-instate closer to the original height.

Many thanks.

yeah don't really know Jim....I'm sure if you did a search for ADR stuff and were prepared to sift thru all the propeganda you might come across the info.......just easier to ring Paul I reckon.

I would definitely raise your car to at least 340 front & 345 rear before going for inspection though.....thats one thing they are fussy about.

Make sure you are measuring correctly though........perpendicular to the ground from centre of wheel to bottom edge of the guard.

Sorry I can't help further, cheers.

Standard is round 400 believe it or not - the gap between wheel and guard is like a 4wd patrol. Looks shocking.

340 is very low anyhow - you would scrape your front bar on everything (like I do).

CORRECT. Mine is on 360 which looks fine and still scrapes the front bar.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
