Hi Guys,

I recently got my car resprayed, bodykit re-glassed, and i also got some other little custom things done, one of these things included shaving the boot. This included; rear wing, boot brake light, Nissan badge & boot lock.

I've also had my tail lights re-wired so that all four 'rings' light up on the brake, instead of just two, as per a stock R34. Pictures attached, I hope you guys enjoy & appreciate.

(Pictures taken on camera phone, sorry for low quality).

Looks good man, best way to do it.

How did you wire up the lights? I've got some mates who might be interested

I'll upload some pictures and so fourth on the lights tomorrow hopefully, will keep you posted.

I shaved the S off the bonnet too, only badges that are kept are the GT badges on the side.

Ganador mirrors comming soon too, and some bronze Work Emotion XD9's for my car, hopefully it suits the dark blue pearl colour of my car. :)

No issues at all, mine also had a tiny bit of rust, it's a common issue in R34's. Legally speaking I think you have to have one there, but i just passed a roadworthy with it, so who cares.

To make all four rear tail lights to light up you need to add 2 globes to each light and wire them up to the brake light, piss easy and costs f**k all to do it.

Lucky beauty is in the eye of the beholder Gathem, i love my genuine cwest kit. :nyaanyaa:

I also just added 3 autometer gauges in the triple gauge cluster, and one which is in place of the cigarette lighter, looks mint, i'll post up pictures later this week. Because the gauges were a tiny bit smaller than the gauge holder (about 1.5mm) i got a peice of aluminium, had it painted matte black and then mounted them into the centre of that, also getting rid of the glass that is in front of the stock gauges, also installed a new mongoose alarm which works in conjuction with my factory central locking key, greddy turbo timer mounted flush with the dash, just above the sunglasses holder for those who know where i'm talking about.

Next is R34 GTR seats, 10" subwoofer and an amp, all hidden so you cant see a thing. My attention to detail is stupidly insane almost, but perfection and a clean look is what i'm after, it'll all be worth it in the end. Also plan to spray the centre console and window switches in the same colour, or maybe silver, undecided yet.

Sounds awesome dude, lookin forward to more pics, u say u have a greddy TT, is it the full auto timer? if so did you get a harness to go with it or just splice wires? I want the full auto timer, but am not sure which harness will go with the 34, hard to find info on it

Yeah, i've got the full auto timer, intergrated into my mongoose alarm.

I didn't get the optional harness, just slpiced, solder & tape up. It's a great turbo timer, although i highly doubt i'm going to use any other of the features like 0 - 200m times and so fourth. No need to really purchase the harness, took all of 25 minutes to install with the splice method. Good luck, and i'll upload more pictures soon. :)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
