Did anyone go to the Brisbane Auto-salon this year.

There was a white with pink pearl 33 GTR with a 34 GTR front and rear end

You had to look twice and realise the door and roof lines were not a 34 GTR, along with interior etc.

my camera went flat before a could get a photo.

If someone could post a couple of shots, it is worth a look.

These sort of conversions are huge in the states. Just look at ebay in the states and see all the skyline style body kits for every car there is.

Yeah Jameszilla posted this up a few months ago..

I think it looks absolutely tops! Plus it ain't just the outside, he's also given the engine a good work over too. A decent amount of power too for a car that size, should be goer!

cheers.

Just to confirm: It is a UK car. The conversion is very well done by all accounts. OK, a lot of people aren't too keen about making a car up to look like something it's not, but at the end of the day the owner of the "Skymera" can claim to be driving a totally unique vehicle!:rofl:

I also think people need to remember that a lot of the reason behind American's often making non-skylines look like skylines is because they simply can't get them over there - not without going through Motorex (or whatever) and paying big $$$$

Each to their own!

Fair enough, but cry me a river!:(

The yanks are always going on about how rich they are, you`d think if they REALLY wanted genuine GT-R`s, they`d damn well get their wallets out...

Australia, New Zealand, UK(?): Shit loads of Skylines.

U.$./Canada: Shafted.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.

      Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
