is there a reason you dont have a valid license?

you should be able to take out a personal loan, even if your underaged, as long as you have a guardian (someone over 18 in other words) to cover for you

i was gonna do such a thing with the commonwealth, then my parents decided to do the loan for me :whistling:

no interest ftw

and for the record, if i had the money, id go a NA S15 over my car...cheaper on fuel, and alot sexier imo

Just to add my two cents...

I was in the same situation a few months ago when buying my first car.... had a look at plenty of r33's and a few r34's.

In the end i went with an r34 for its amazing looks. Make sure you've had a drive of both so you know how they both feel.

Thats probably what will sway you in either direction... unless your all about asthetics like myself in which case how could you say no to an r34 :whistling:

Take your time with the decision and dont get one over the other purely because of what other people think...

the last thing you want is to see the model you didnt buy driving along next to you and regret your purchase..

Good news!! The NAB bank called me and did a phone assesment and i got approved, is that garunteed that i will get the cash? Only if i back up everything i claimed on the phone with proof, which was 100% true, i was so excited we were at the pub and i got the call and we stayed there till like 12 in Nth Syd haha.

As I always said when I got my first R34 (steps back into the time machine to 2002)

I had the choice between a very nice R33 GTSt or an R34 25GT (no turbo!!!) I picked the R34 because it simply outclassed the R33, even the turbo couldn't sway me (stuck one on the R34 anyway)

But this was back when an Auto 25GT was $34K (ouch) and I don't regret the choice one bit...even when it was stolen and written off, I bought another R34 (GTt this time)

i wouldnt say the r34 has less km's then the 33.

a mate just bought a 34 yeah its nice but my 33 has done 15, ooo less than his.

i like the interior more in a r33 its more comfy and real race type i believe the r34 even tho it is nice is to over the top.

my 2c but i say test drive both and see which one you feel more comfy in and enjoy more.

are you sure yours has really done that amount of km's cause i remember hearing and seeing that they wind back alot of r33's and with some ive seen they are wound back way to far to be believable.

Yeah i guess so.

Well im waiting for NAB to call me back, hopefully i faxed the papers in correctly -.- damn fax, i hate them so much !!

NAB has like one dedicated number for faxes and apparently they are like busy all the time coz people are trying to fax stuff in.. so frustrating!!

Now im sitting at work stressing lol!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
