Hey,

These are the photos you asked me for earlier, sorry you can't see a damn thing, all the wiring is hidden. The only two wires coming from the distributor go to + and - on the coil. There's no ballast resistor, no vacuum advance... nothing! There is a one additional wire going to the + and one to the -, but I couldn't trace where they originate from.

Hope it's of some use anyway.

Cheers,

D

Thanks guys and Mag 86 I believe your right. The good news is I'm picking up a 280zx dizzy on sat morn,rushing it to the mechanic who i hope is going to have it running same day.Thanks for the effort on the pics Drew, and guess what I saw just around the corner in someones back yard? a 210 4 door. I knocked but nobody home so I slipped down the side to see if it was man or auto.Turns out to be man but fully gutted inside. I'll go back tomorrow and ask what's happening with it. I'd really like to manualise my coupe and grab the bumpers. Ill let you know the story.

Oddly there IS a vacuum advance on my dizzy, but it has been left disconnected - no hose. It came back that way from the auto electrician and I didn't notice till later. Maybe it doesn't work, or they deemed it superfluous, or maybe, just maybe, they happen to be a pack of 2-bit retards! Still, I'm none too fazed and aren't going to get nasty about it; the car is going just fine without it. I gave it a run with the vacuum advanced connected to the manifold and I couldn't pick any difference. Maybe it is cactus and no-one ever mentioned it.

Keep me posted about that 4 door. I've always got room for another 4 door. Even one without bumpers!

Drew, spoke to the young lady at the house tonight,her boyfriend was given it but has sold it to a mate who's turning it into a rally car. She's going to get him to ring me regarding the bumper. Hopefully he don't need bumpers for what he's doing.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
