he bought it with 93kms so he did abit under 10,000kms in 1 year of ownership...which is pretty good considering i did over 20,000kms LOL

series 3 (especialy 1998) fetch a higher price

maybe cos its the very last ones to be made before the R34 started rolling out.

series 3 has a better interior in my opinion, the red in the seats and door trims looks hot

not to mention the series 3 gearbox :D

yeah, for series 3 - gearbox synchros were revised.

some of the easier tell tale vspec signs are a finned diff and an active LSD light in the dash. on a side note - vspec weighs a bit more.

vspec is also a tad lower and technically is meant to be a few thousand more :D

Main differences between series 1 and series 3 are:

- Xenon headlights

- Deeper/fatter lower lip

- Red stitching on interior seats/door trims

- Right hand rear tailight has a red fog light in place of reverse light

- Stronger synchros in gearbox

- KR4 silver was not available in Series 1

- KL0 silver was not available in Series 3

There may be more but those are the most common...

hey KR4-GTR when u fitted the pfc.. how much power gain did you get from it ???

someone told me depending on safe tune or heavy tune it can vary from 30-50 kw gain

now i dont believe that.. but seeing as u have just fitted yours, do you know how much it would be

i have 217kw at all four wheels

- cat back exhaust

- apexi air filters

- boosted to 14 psi

and now the pfc..

im getting it tuned next week at Gas Motorsport.. or do you guys know anyone better then this in the sydney region

hey mate, it was 178kw @ wheels originally before tune and power fc.

now it is 222 @ wheels @ a SAFE tune - 12psi. i told them i wanted economy over power.

would be interesting to see what you got if you were to put a power fc in.

post results please!

on a side note, just filled up again - i didnt leave it until it touched the E but i did the math and i would have gotten around 470 to the full tank, daily driving.

after research, i've also learnt that a r33 gtr tank is 65 litres. a r32 gtr tank is 72 litres! :)

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
