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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
