colin need your epic detailing skills to buff it out. :D

Yachts normally go for more than that, probably needs some work for it to be sea worthy....

as for 31 coilovers, JIC did actually make coilovers for 31's. Also plenty of Datsun shops make coilovers from R31 struts.......

but yer, i'd still love a 1970 C10 GTR skyline.

If it was sold I wonder how much was the selling price...

for that price... You can get a VERY nice M-Spec/V-Spec2 Nur... or maybe top up a lil and get a Z-tune or a 35gtr...

as for 31 coilovers, JIC did actually make coilovers for 31's. Also plenty of Datsun shops make coilovers from R31 struts.......

Technically, the stock suspension ARE coilovers :) just not height adjustable. As you well know, those JIC ones are 20 years old and shit.

Making height adjustable coilovers from the standard strut, yeah it works, but I consider that 'custom'. Also, you still need decent inserts then to run in them, and you lose wheel clearance.

I know where there is a shell of a white FD sitting, its been there for 2 years now, sitting right next to the road nothing stopping it goin missing either

rotarys are easy, boost in apex out, rebuild and repeat. haha

anyone got a clue how to TIG weld here?

get me a tig and ill teach myself, i know the basic principles.

ps: marto that vid is f**king hilariousness TRACTOOOOR !!!

and u learn something new everyday: cows go moo when the poo LAWL

Yea I finished reading the whole thing but basically the main thing I've learnt is 1.3l twin rotary is actually 3.9l in displacement. And you cant really compare piston and rotary.

yer rotarys arent as bad as they are made out to be, boost them hard and not build them right and they will give you nothing but trouble, a properly built one with moderate levels of boost last ok. Like 1000Hp from a 1.3 litre engine is crazy and no doubt will give you issues, same as trying to pump that level of power from a RB engine.

Yer dave im teaching myself how to MIG weld, funny thing is my missus can weld better than me :) i will get a TIG once i learn the mig.

martin, get the falcoon and a trailer and i will show you where it is :P

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
