Hi all,

Over the last year and a half I have been engaged in the rebuild of my R34. During this time we have spent a lot of time and effort adding small touches here and there to make things a bit more unique. Some are specific, and others are more generic (i.e. for everyone)

One such part that we came up with was a replacement diagram for the R34GTT Fuse Box cover. With a car that is now 10 years old, general wear and tear has seen that yellow diagram fade / disappear. Time for a replacement - something which adds those so-called style points whilst keeping functionality. Abo Bob already had a 1:1 scale image of the diagram so we borrowed that for this project, thanks Adam!

Business Details:

Ann Harris

K-Bar Laser Etching

http://k-bar.com.au/

All our initial designs involving this technology were sent to numerous suppliers around Australia. Ann came back with the lowest quote from everyone, and was happy to assist with material choice, artwork and other recommendations. In total, around 20 suppliers were contacted and these guys were by far the best deal for our purposes (i.e. once off designs and productions)

What's on Offer

Well I'll let the pictures below do all the talking and you can decide for yourselves. Please excuse the blacked out sections, they are specific to our project and we would like to keep that private for now. Also note that the avatar image, along with the "SATANIC" text in the top right corner will be removed in the Group Buy Version.

Specifics

Material: 3mm Metalgraph Plus (brushed stainless look)

Etching: All etching will be in BLACK (no exceptions)

Holes: No mounting holes will be included; please drill your own else just use strong adhesive

Care: Minimal care is required, this material is scratch proof - an odd wipe wouldn't hurt though

Pricing:

I only got my stuff finalized and delivered on Friday so I don't have a confirmed pricing yet (Ann still working this out). On initial conversation I was aiming around $50 per unit delivered - my unit cost was $85.00 FYI. This will be based on a production of 10-20 units, the final number is still to be confirmed.

Confirmed:

In reply to the last post, I am planning to just have the following text on the top right corner (should suit everyone)

(first line) NISSAN

(second line) SKYLINE

(third line) R34

As stated, there will be ONE design to be made in bulk, will not do individual designs for group buy (too complicated, if you're that keen, contact me via PM). So for you who are interested, please come to some concensus as to what you would like (limit to 4 lines of text)

The section where my avatar image is, will just be blank.

There you have it, the final pricing on these plates. It's a bit more than my projected $50, but it's still a saving of $20-$25.00 on the plate which is about 25%. Turnaround time is very good with these guys, once order is placed it is usually made same day and sent out following.

Thanks

Stan

65 still isnt too bad im fine with that price, with the r34 in that square i wouldnt mind having a logo of choice but i recon it would just be easier if we all got R34 what does everyone else think?

Im fine with $65

As for the layout im happy with everything mentioned as far as R34 taking up the box where you symbol was but could i have

First line: NISSAN

Second line: SKYLINE

Third line: GTFOUR instead of GT-T (obviously because mine isnt a gt-t :huh: )

I dont mind paying a little extra for the headache for the last line purely because gt-t would look silly in mine :D

R34GTFOUR, I'll talk to Ann about it - shouldn't be a problem I hope.

So it's the following for the right corner:

NISSAN

SKYLINE

R34 GT-T or R34 GTFOUR

Still need concensus on the left box... else it'll remain blank and you can get your own little vinyls made up to stick there :huh:

Well im obviously in for R34

Id prefer it written in the font "IMPACT". Ive actually replicated what it will look like below. Most dominant feature.

R34

Personally I dont care what it says in the top corner.

I wouldn't mind

NISSAN

SKYLINE R34

RACE BRED 2.5L

Then you can have them all printed the same to suit all.

Edited by DECIM8

Yep I am in too.

A better idea would be to have the GT logo in the square where your avatar is - as per the shield design badge on the front guards - that would look awesome! The GT logo is common to all turbo and non-turbo models, so would be perfect and look great.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
