dunc i have done f#@kall on the r34 , mark is a machine when he put his mind to it.

about the most i did was pull all the vinyl crap off the carbon boot , took about 6 hours! still got the bonnet to do:(

for some reason the japs had decided to vinyl sticker the body panels on the Tomei drag car instead of painting them.

Believe it or not, Vinyl is quite a bit lighter than a normal paint job. The RS spyder that races in the US in ALMS is made yellow only by vinyl. Saved about 7kg from memory. They look so much better in raw carbon but sponsor dollars talk!

hey russ, great build you got going here ... im sure it will be a stand out at the track just like your other cars....

i was wondering if youd post up some more pics of your black street r32 gtr please???

im building a low km original black v spec 1 and im running out of motivation as its dragging out a heap longer than i had hoped , seeing a mint one would surely stir me along!!!

keep us updated on the 34 too!!! , cheers

Sorry ignore my last post, you said street R32, my bad. I thought it was blue though, not black?

Yep thats the car, it's got a very faint purple in it, looks black mostly. The thing is mint, we did some practice recce in it and it drives like a new one, and yes, I'm old enough to remember driving a new one :)

Looking great Russ. Come a long way since those seem welding pics ya sent me.

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

Why did you and Mark decide to go back to twins? Thought the To4z kit was going on this one.

Cheers Coop

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.

:laugh: That is honestly the best 34 I have ever seen! Bloody unreal!!

Top work mate

Looking forward to the vids! :thumbsup:

Hey guys

thanks for the comments! i cant wait to see it on track.

we decided on twins after driving the r33 with a single and we just preferred the twin set up, ( with more work the single my have gotten close but we decided against spending all the time required trying)

and yeah that is air jacks on the sills.

hopefully the autronic ecu and assciated items go in next week ready for fire up!

another pic or two

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
