Well, finally some good news....

After a lengthy call to Dotars this morning they finally advised me that my Private Import application was approved dnd that paperwork was sent out yesterday. It only took them 3 months !

Until I see the paperwork in the flesh I'll be holding off celebrating but hopefully the car will be on its way very soon.

I'm bouncing back to Japan next week for around a month so hopefully I'll be loading her up myself and get a quick blast or 2 on the expressway but at least theres light at the end of the tunnel, finally.

Congrats Marcus, great news

Well hopefully after its complied I can finally see how that carbon shaft goes.

By the sounds of everyone else I'd say 50/50 chance of no vibration.

Well been a couple of fun weeks with the car and alls bloody good.

Car has a moderate tune now with power sitting around the 440kw mark with a quit scramble hit of boost giving around an extra 15kw but the torque band is the most impressive part as it has a very wide torque band.

Car is an animal now.

Finally yesterday car was put on transport truck and is starting its journey to land of OZ.

Look forward to seeing it in my garage hopefully sometime in August.

Loved reading this build.

hanging for more updates.

me too :P vids of it on track asap!

Thanks fellas..

I was at HKS today picking up a few odds and end that were left over from the build.

The guys gave me a picture disk CD of the build from their perspective so I'll start loading them up over the next week or so.

Theres a couple of hundred pics to sort through

Got another week in Japan then back to OZ so I'll load them up as I get some spare time.

Had confirmation that the car will be leaving Japan on the 30th June so not too long to wait until she's on the road in Oz.

Hopefully can get it the track sometime in late August.

Still got other parts to go on which include

Nismo 400R front bar

Nismo front lip

Carbon centre grill

Ganador Mirrors

ACPT Carbon fibre tailshaft (rated 2000hp)

Auto Gallery Yokohama SS690 Gearbox

good to see that u stuck with the stock manifolds - they are a proven item once match ported!

Hey Marko I was looking at going the Tomei Expreme manifolds but my mate at HKS jumped up and down and said to stick with standards match ported and polished.

He had done alot of their top cars including their Drag 33 and said no reason whatsoever to go with anything else and why change something that works!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
