Hey Russ,

Finally found this thread. The 34 is looking the business.

I got my roll cage finished today and the dry sump has arrived. Thanks for talking me into that. Pretty happy with how it's all shaping up. I gotta start my own build tread for it. seems to be a good way to pick up some good ideas from the other guys.

Cheers

Coop.

Ps. A pic of my cage almost finished with new rear firewall.

oh, I know the answer to this one. yes the 33 was run, but I'll leave it up to russ to give his thoughts on it. :yes: all I'll say is that a T51R is a tad different to the nice twin set-ups they are used to.

Okay guys

finally an update!!

thought you might like to see how the r34 is coming along, still lots to do.

but we have done trial body fitting, engine and gearbox are in along with front and rear crossmembers and arms, most of the electric are done.

still needs suspension and engine management , all oil and fuel system etc etc etc

front wheel track will come out another 30 mm yet!

lots and lots of hours gone into this car already and so much more to do.

hope you like.

Oh, we like!

Details on brakes and wheels please mate? 380mm rotors? 18' rims?

Is the motor and turbo setup for this one finished?

hey Steve

The wheels are Advan RS 18 X 10's, the brakes are Alcon V8 supercar stuff, i think 385 mm.

The engine 3ltr with a twin setup :) , and 6 speed sequential holinger box with load sensitive gearshift rpm cut.

engine, box and final drive are in

3L and twins - a man after my heart

Ive got rb30 and HKS GTRS's, even untuned its an amazing difference in comparison to twins on a 2.6L, you'll be very happy

Thanks for the info :)

And the big question im sure a lot of guys here are wondering; With so much left to do, do you think you'll have it at superlap?

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
