Finally It Gets Thru Compliance And Is Tucked Away At Home

[rtune]

Great thing about Nur Specs, there's very little you HAVE to do

Some new wheels if you feel like a change

might look at a more solid strut brace too

Mostly just upkeep. It's already modified quite extensively from the factory

You might want to look at a sound system that works in this country, the only other Nur I have been in has GPS that likes to think we're driving in the middle of the ocean...

well despite my handle it isn't a nur, it was a vs II which at 9000 kms got the R1 do over ..

but yeah I get your point.

I like the existing rims. I might get spacers though, thats an easy mod, yes?

And ICE. You are right the pioneer doesn't put me in the ocean but it reboots constantly when it has

a view of the sky, when in a garage it is happy, however ..

*sigh

that thing is awesome..

if you want some one to take some shots of it let me know

[siksII]

g) there is a clutch rattle in neutral that goes away when I put my foot in the clutch.

Do coppermix twins rattle? I remember reading they don't. Is it the flywheel perhaps?

it isn't enough for passers by to think there is a problem but it is there.

Awesome car!

Nismo super coppermix twin plate clutches definitely rattle, so thats normal.

[Turbo Piston]

Congrats on the car, I own a black one myself but just a Vspec II.

If i were you, I would just keep it stock

In regards to the noise from the cabin, I don't hear anything in mine, its pretty good.

[XKLABA]

Nothing looks tougher than a black gtr, nice ride bro

H ) 1200 is abit high, on my gtr the idle control is under the middle of the plenum, there is a flat screw driver screw go 1/4 turn at a time give rev let settle should do the trick, if not got a gasket leak

I ) Nice rims what size are the tyres on them if they are smaller then fac will put out speedo ( reading faster than doing will make the odo clock up quicker ) 245/45/18 i think are fac the 34 check rolling diameter at local tyre shop.

Car - Amazing - WoW

the only thing i can give advice on is the rattles....i have a r34 gt 98 and i just went through the whole car untill all the rattles wer gone.....just spend a bit of time and if ur brave/stupid enough (not sure which one you would be if you did this to a gtr) you can pull out ur dash and speedo and all the side doors etc to find the rattles...i had to pull my drivers door apart because of a rattle...found a bolt in the bottom of it... :S

good luck with the car

dont touch that beautiful engine!!

[siddr20]

Engine ..

What should I do to this car? I'm thinking perhaps doing anything significant

to the engine would diminish it?

Can you stop posting pics of your car.. SERIOUSLY!!!!

YOU ARE MAKING US ALL JEALOUS!!!!!!

STOP IT

STOP IT

i had more than enough aggro and unexpected expenses getting it over here,

and way over 3 months of a wait, plus took the keys on the eve of a worldwide

economic depression.

But ok... from now on I'll just keep it hidden!

his car is not a nur doof. it's a v spec II modified by nismo.

cheers

I wanted to take some more pictures, including of my questions.. but so far they are

a) after an hour on the road the back of the car emits a quiet but annoying squeak.. squeak..

over bumps, eg the damn pacific highway north of coffs. doesn't seem to happen

when cold.

b) does anyone know a great mobile detailer guy, who loves black, in sydney?

c) Should the fuse box in the engine bay have a cover?

d) does every gtr have little dash rattles on bumpy highways? I've got a couple but won't

go hunting for them if thats just the way things tend to be? like, coming from behind the

dash, or air vents there are these little scratchy ticky sounds over bumps. My other car

is a golf and its solid and tight, so maybe I'm expecting too much of a vintage car.

e) the biggie The gear stick has what I imagine was very shiny looking aluminium with the

GTR logo but it is all tarnished. If this is a stock gtr gear stick, is there a stock cleaning

product people use on it?

f) when I open the door(s) they don't hold open they just swing as wide as you like and on

a camber will shut again. The door arm looks like it has outdents on it, which i can just feel,

is that something that can be tightened up or is it just the way it is?

g) there is a clutch rattle in neutral that goes away when I put my foot in the clutch.

Do coppermix twins rattle? I remember reading they don't. Is it the flywheel perhaps?

it isn't enough for passers by to think there is a problem but it is there.

h) it idles at 1200 indicated, is that about right? very smooth but seems high.

i) the speedo reads 10% over. I'd rather it read right, is that tweakable?

specs, well, I'll take it somewhere to check it out see what it does on pulp.

it has a nismo ecu, n1 block and all the nismo r parts... an R1 conversion with the

omori plate in the bay (nismo still have the goodies list up somewhere). S tune

suspension and the weldina exhaust which has a lovely popping on the overrun..

A) shouldn't really have any squeaks. could be easy to find, could be hard. worth looking though. could just be some loose stuff in the cabin.

B) don't know anyone really great sorry.

C) yes it should. it was most likely taken off to jump start the car. or taken off when cleaned at the docks. check your boot or glovebox for it. the cleaning guys at AAT are generally pretty lazy. they will take bits apart but not put them back together.

D) shouldn't really have dash rattles at 16,000kms.... my current 34 with 80,000 has none. my last R32 GTR had none either and it was 19 years old with 100,000kms!

E) not sure what to use. but if it's really bad, and it's the standard gear knob you can buy a new one. they are not too expensive and it just screws off.

F) Marss answered this one. yes they should stay open. I'm surprised they've already gone on a 16,000kms car.

G) tbag's answer was only valid for 32 GTR. with 34 GTR they have a getrag box and a dual mass flywheel. if you have an aftermarket clutch chances are you no longer have the DM flywheel. so in neutral with foot OFF the clutch you will get a little "clackety clack" type noise and possibly a fainter grinding type noise. it's due to the combo of the getrag box and no DM flywheel. it's no big deal. just a little annoying.

h) idle should not be that high. around 900 is normal. but will idle up around 1200 when cold. do you know what cams are in your R1 engine?

i) it can be fixed if you like. look up instrument calibration in the yellow pages to find someone who can do it.

awesome car mate. The R1s are a really cool upgrade. Lots of nismo goodies bolted onto it. an R1 modded 34 is right up there with the pick of GTRs to get. now come over to my place and lets play cars!

[Player_Hater]

now come over to my place and lets play cars!

that has got to be the funniest quote ive read in a long time......

[Beer Baron]

lol, I like to gather them all around me. 34 GTR, 32 GTR, RX7, Silva, and all the parts, then sit there going Broom! Broom!. it's normal isn't it?

[rtune]

I ) Nice rims what size are the tyres on them if they are smaller then fac will put out speedo ( reading faster than doing will make the odo clock up quicker ) 245/45/18 i think are fac the 34 check rolling diameter at local tyre shop.

thanks, they are 245/40/18 (potenza). I doubt the 40 vs 45 could make a 10% difference in speed though..

Guess I'll add this to a list of minor stuff to get done..

[rtune]

h) idle should not be that high. around 900 is normal. but will idle up around 1200 when cold. do you know what cams are in your R1 engine?

The japanese page is here

http://www.nismo.co.jp/shop/shop/omori/engine/r1/index.html

but it isn't clear to me whether cams are on the parts list ..

Other omori R1 conversions put in 272 degree cams, but maybe not the R34 conversion.

[DRD-00F]

his car is not a nur doof. it's a v spec II modified by nismo.

That post is ooooooooooold... and he already corrected me... I don't need it twice

But that being the case... NEW TURBOS! MORE BOOST! HEADWORK! SWAY BARS!

I could mod a Vspec II, but not a Nur...

[Granthem]

Wow Just wow.

Dont spoil it. Im sure nismo did all thats needed for you to have a awesome car that you can just sit back and enjoy. I say leave it modless.

And that engine bay! Perfect.

[Player_Hater]

the fact that you have stated "it's normal isn't it?" .. means i feel normal now aswell.... I thought i was the only one to secretly sit around and play with my cars .. tucked away in the garage..

btw..... that IS one SEXY SEXY car ...congrats and enjoy ..

yep, that's why I asked. it's quite possible your R1 engine has larger cams. I must say mate it's a very cool 34. I'd almost rather it over a nur anyway. it should certainly have a fair bit more power than standard too.

and seriously bring it over one day! lol I want to check it out. and if you would like to know I can probably find out from japan for you exactly what mods have been done to your R1.

[Ashy Larry]

Awesome car,

Well worth the wait in getting it in.

Who did you get it through?

You're on the right track, my boy.

J, yes it'll be running Nismo cams as part of the R1 package, so the idle will be a bit higher and lumpier. Don't ask me how I know this lol...

For those who don't know, the R1 engine package (without taking into account the rest of the Nismo goodies on r34nur's car) is an engine-out deal, and, depending on the donor car, is worth $30,000 at current exchange rates. 450ps of RB goodness - effectively a 2.6 litre version of the Z-tune motor. When I have spare time, I'll translate the parts list for the package. Very thorough.

J, I'll put you in touch with my GT-R guru, he has connections in Omori factory who might be able to give you some more history on your car.
