Dan at ERD is literally the only person I'd let touch my car. He's like the Yoda of car's, if yoda and chewie had a lovechild. Rare thing about him too is his honesty. For example my spigot was rooted so I organised to get a new clutch in. I get a phone call from Dan an hr after dropping it off telling me that the clutch in there atm is basically new and presented me with the options to keep the one in there and replace what's needed or continue on with the replacement. I went ahead with the npc street anyways cos I'm wanting big power down the line, but say if I wasn't, I could have saved $400 odd dollars. Bastard makes one mean coffee too although I've been told to not let him know this hahaha.

don't you mean lulz and jail bait bitches?

lulz and jail bait bitches - i agree but also disagree.. because that leaves out all the fine talent over 16...

I actually lol'd. Site manager thinks I'm a bit weird :ninja:

Believe it or not but those dirty poms got 100 r34 gtr's delivered....not like they'd know how to drive the things though. Aus got the r32's though.

I agree with this. If it's doing it more often in the heat then it may not be fuel pump related....

I lol'd...

You is so asian Brandon :)

Brandon and I went to the efi dyno day. Pretty sure colin rocked up too. The actual people in charge there were great and everything was done professionally. A week before hand I spoke with a guy named Rick on the phone to enquire about a nistune for my car. The dude knew his shit and was a top guy to talk to. I'll be going there to get my work done. In saying all of that though, I get the feeling that some of their 'helpers' on the dyno day fit the boost losers category which may explain the skids and stuff.

don't you mean lulz and jail bait bitches?

Still not sure on the 34s being delivered to the Uk. I've never heard that before and I'm struggling to find a reliable source with where all the cars were exported to. gtr.co.uk should have something I reckon.

I don't discriminate. I'm talking purely lulz n bitches. lol.

mmm still skeptical. I've got one of clarksons articles at home in which he reviews the R34 and he says in it thats its a shame because Nissan were intending on importing the car to the Uk but couldn't drum up enough interest so they canned the idea. I'll dig it out when I'm home on monday.

Yeh you could be right holmes. Who cares in reality though. Like I said before stupid dirty pom's can't drive properly :ninja:

:ninja: General consensus. UK Drivers > Aussie drivers. The sheer amount of retards/people who have no business being in a car over here is ridiculous. They just get in the car and then switch off. Epic fail.

I know that the Poms got R34s cause they had somthing different about them like the Gmeter was ulocked for viewing on the dash display, or maybe it was locked cant remember

Ive got a movie at home that talks to the guy that got the contract from nissan in the UK do do the servicing or the training or somthing, i will watch it tonight and get all the details!

i should of got bolt on flares and bigger wheels :ninja:

Nah that thing looks alright but I don't think r32s suit the bolt on look.

Awesome :)

pfft misquote fail. Who are you the courier mail?

its not just alright, its f**kin sexual... :ninja: but i was kidding about the smite... or was i?

not sexual imo. Better off with a proper wide body overfender because bolt ons just don't flow with the car at all. That one semi pulls it off because of the awesome black paint and epic wing so it all ties in with the extreme racer look but I still don't reckon it looks as good as a regular 32 with tough fitment. Oh and the rears don't look that much wider than what you would fit in there with stock guards? Needs more 18 x 14 +0

:D General consensus. UK Drivers > Aussie drivers. The sheer amount of retards/people who have no business being in a car over here is ridiculous. They just get in the car and then switch off. Epic fail.

Hm I may have to agree with you on that.... Stupid bogans :D and female drivers (runs and hides)

Sounds awesome. There's another vid with clarkson reviewing the r34 gtr, pretty sure he said the same thing about the gmeter being unlocked and translated or something for the uk versions.

god plz smite colins gtr.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
