Very nice R34 GT-R mate! I seen you coming out of Watergardens turning left onto melton hwy last friday - I was across the other side then my neck snapped hahah. Thought there was a new car on the block :D

That wouldn't have been him :P

Hey buddy, how have you been?? I loved that GTO i had, it was perfect in so many ways but was a difficult car to own to say the least, awesome tourque and a perfect long distance cruiser, it just wasnt as practical as a Skyline as it sat in the garage for months on end. I let that go for an silly cheap amount considering it was probably the best condition ones it had seen and the price I got wouldn't even have covered the mods! oh well, that cars for you!

I think that I will finally be happy with this car and hang on to it for a while, thanks for the chat the other week, I needed some more convincing to buy a GTR!

I love the look of the series 1 GTO's with their pop-up lights. The later versions with their ugly headlights just didn't do it for me.

LOL @ R34 GTR being practical. You must be the only person on SAU-Vic who changed to a LIGHTER car when you bought an R34 GTR lol.

Well those of you that know me, know that I have been wanting a GTR forever and have always found a reason to buy something different, well finally here she is!

She looks sweet Dave..

There is only i thing i have to say...DECA... :(

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
