Stopped by Fibrevision today and spoke to Bruce.

We were waiting on an R34 coupe to come in but it's been over a month and it's a no show so far. We were going to see what EXACTLY needed to be done. But i've seen Bruce's work, 100% confident we can do it now.

But either way it will be done after I get back from Japan. Hoping January 2009. But I'm in no rush to be honest. :whistling:

Well I COMPLETELY forgot (so did Bruce at FB) about the lower reverse lights on the R34 Coupe. As I saw my friend reverse his 2 door 34 onto my lawn I was like aww f**k!

I'm scrapping this idea, but I definitly encourage any high rollers with the coin to make it happen, I think it'd look mint.

Cost-wise you would need about $3,000 for the main brake lights area etc, and then I'd estimate a further 800-$1,000 for the lower reverse lights section.

In terms of what needs to be done, that Skylude post gives is a good example. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/553310

reshaping the bootlid to fit it in is the main thing that needs to be done. Decided not to go ahead as I'm aiming for a 34R late 2009, early '10. :)

looking at this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&id=126480

and looking at the rear bar. would it be possible just to fit a coupe rear bar to your 4door for the lower reverse lights? they look very similar but theres probably slight differences that you cant tell from that pic

probably not as straightforward as that but still.

Correct that would be the way to do it but a whole lot of modifying to fit and re-wiring, as the 2 door rear kit goes more around the sides then the sedan, and it's not a striaght swap. And of course the $$. So I'm bailing on the idea. Was good while it lasted. lol.

I've been looking into the swap owning a sedan for a while and have managed to get a deal on a coupe  so I will do what I can and keep anyone who is still viewing this and wanting to see progression of it.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
