It's not a nismo car, and technically speaking it's not really a nismo kit (although other's would argue otherwise)... it's actually an Aero kitted factory GTT. Sorry to say, based on my knowledge of GTT's you don't have a "nismo" car as per se.

Might be on the auction sheet, but you probably won't have that. And I take it you don't have japanese service manuals? The thing is most imports are wound back... often more than once, too many points where it could be wound back ... e.g. in japan, at auction, in australia by the importer, in australia by the dealer. If the motor and body is in good nick be satisfied with that.. with all RB's it's all down to how well it's been serviced and looked after generally.

ok also is there some way to find out if the 100 thou service has been done, obviously i recieved the car before 100,000 so there would be no stickers on the door or window... car runs smooth as but cant really push it as its due the service, but i dont wanna spend that money if its already been done ya know!

If you're lucky there's a sticker that sometimes comes with a new timing belt, that gets placed under the bonnet. If you don't have one, then I suggest you change it (and the waterpump, and the plugs, and all the other things you do at the 100k service at the same time).

$95 timing belt

$240 labour

$77 service / safety

$65 oil

$140 redline (tran + diff)

$55 coolant

$145 dyno

$140 platinum plugs

Whoa, man thats alot eh, i can get the parts for the 100 thou service for like $360... thats belt, bearings, water pump the whole lot!

Well that's the list price, and it's not really that much when you think about it - just shop around and you'll see. Especially given that boostworx found a AFM problem on the dyno (picked up a lost 15rwkw), and a front suspension bracket issue... good to see some mechanics still know their trade well.

But yeah if you want to save some, do the fluids yourself, the plugs even. Not really hard dropping the oil... undo the screw on the bottom of the sump, dump the oil into a pan, change the oil filter, put screw back on, fill up with motul oil, and bob's your aunty.. umm uncle even.

there are certificates issued for parts fitted by nismo after sale but doubt you have them. Is there even such a thing as a nismo gtt r34? it was probably just a gtt some stuck a few nismo things on and said it was a nismo gtt? Did you pay a premium for the car because they claimed is was a "nismo"?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
