Greetings,

I recently bought a R34 GT-V skyline, 2000 model series 2 and whatnot, 4-door. I've got my full URAS body kit which I plan on fitting on but I cant drive the car properly without getting my manuals and I get them around the same time the car gets its vapor injection system installed. The car has 106k on the clock, got it for 15 grand, and it's of course manual. So here's what I'm looking at doing by mid November.

-Full uras kit

-vapor injection system

-Sound system

-lowered springs

-hid lights

These combined costing nearly 10k.

Now what I want to know is general problems which R34's tend to have, I know mines done 106k kilometers but the engine is brilliant and apparently most of it was highway kilometers and that shows but you never know. So what are they known for? In terms of breaking down, certain parts I might aswell upgrade because they're known for failure etc. Thanks fellas.

-Lots of love.

Interesting. Personally I'd stick with premium unleaded - no spend on LPG maintenance. I've done some background reading into the vapour system, it seems the more superior system is liquid injection, either way, if you do go the LPG route you should increase your engine compression so that you will not feel the power loss or get some sort of forced induction. http://www.lpgli.com/features.html

Its a 4 door, so its not sports but yeh, i know liquid is better but the guy im getting it installed from said liquid is not as good as people think it is, apparently it has a much much higher failure rate and vapour is basically perfected while liquid aint quite at that level yet. The guy who told me this is a very experience lpg installer guy, who was the first person to introduce injection into Australia and one of his main staff used to be the head of the company which invented liquid injection back 9 or so years ago so i trust him :P

Is this a family affair or something??? Haha....Cara and her 'Impul'...Ian and his 'Uras'...Kris and his....R33....... :) hahaaaa (jks jks, i like R33's :D especially since all the 34's here are non turbo rofl!)

First reply was the only thing you need to know Ian....coilpacks...and when you get them, don't go back to Shane at Power Roads or whatever he calls himself :D He charges like 1 grand for nissan ones when you can get Spitfires for bout 7-8oo mullah installed (yes thats all 6 packs) As one of the guys that just got it replaced on here a week ago, with a R34 4 door from same place we all got our skylines from :D

Uras on 4 door looks hot. On 2 not so hot...actually its quite yuck. Veilside looks even shittier on a 2 door and a bit over the top! Then again i can't talk cause i got a Bomex kit with wide panels...

Also another problem you douche', is the steering arms themselves as i have witnessed first hand...do not fk the front end of your car into a pot hole or hit a gutter :bunny: cause you will pay for it dearly my friend :cool: ....peace be with you. Also 10K for those mods??? How much is the Vapour crap??? 8K???

Ps make sure you get the Uras eyelids of you get the full kit!

that uras kit looks really nice on the 4 door, and veilside does suck, way too over the top, and yeah when i comes to coilpacks spitfire are usually the go once they fail, and pretty easy to install em yourself if you want to save some cash

Body kits = fail... Just plain ugly and destroying factory lines! But, each to there own.

As to the gas, and "loss of performance", you can actually extract more power from gas, then you can from premium unleaded... Why? It has a higher octane rating, and hence, is more resistant to knocking.

The ISSUE with tuning for sheer power on LPG, is that LPG doesn't have the quality control that petrol does.

IE, you gas it up one day at say 114octane, but a few days later, you gas up at another place, but there gas is only 105 octane... That's an issue if you're tuned on the edge on 114 octane...

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
