Hi all,

I have 3 questions regarding maintenance for an R34 GT-R V-Spec II.

1) Where are the jacking up points for the front and rear? Do I have to take off the F/R under diffusers before jacking up?

2) Where is the best place to put the Jack stands?

3) How do you take off the oil filer without causing a mess, because I had a look down there and it looks fairly tricky.

Any info would be greatly appreciated,

Hi all,

I have 3 questions regarding maintenance for an R34 GT-R V-Spec II.

1) Where are the jacking up points for the front and rear? Do I have to take off the F/R under diffusers before jacking up?

jacking points should be the same with 32 gtrs...at front cross member well with 32 has n X shape centre of car and the rear just past the diff there is a jacking point there as well

2) Where is the best place to put the Jack stands?

some people mount the jacks on the rails but not really good idea as you dont want to damage the rail, in the manual shows where you would jack the car up if u had a flat n use those points..just rear of front wheel n front of rear wheel....personally use the cross members.

3) How do you take off the oil filer without causing a mess, because I had a look down there and it looks fairly tricky.

yeah that sucks unless you have a hoist, placing rags under the oil filter location as your taking the filter out may minimise a mess..or get a oil filter relocator, saves you hassles in the future.

Any info would be greatly appreciated,

hope that helps

HA! install a remote oil filter, but thats a head f**k of a job cuz there is hardly any room to move in the engine bay.

As what godzl1975 said, use the rags or what I do is after getting the oil filter on, I spray around the filter with degreaser and the rinse of with water.

I hated jacking my Skyline (more specifically, where to place the stands)

The Rail's are fairly weak and i dont wanna crush em. The Sill's are a big no-no for obvious reasons (one of mine was squashed flat when i got it)

I used to use the curved section, front / rear, just near where the lower control arm attaches to cross member/rear cradle. I didnt like the idea of living under the car for days like this though.

Figuring Nissan designed the sills to take the weight, (as per manual) a mate, Apex Trudger made me up some thick dense rubber blocks with slits (in which the sill sits in) I place these on the jack stands.

I jack it where everyone else does.

Good point bout the front diffuser, from what your saying it sounds like the R34 one covers the x-member?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
