Ouch!!!

Damnit, having just bought a DSLR and seeing what some of the lenses are worth, I feel your pain!

Well I have car back togather enough to drive it. Did approx 30k's in it today

The exterior is complete except for the roof rails. Ran out of time to finish painting them.

I had a small engine oil leak which turned into a big one after driving it. I think I have found the problem. This afternoon I had to strip the top of the motor and remove the inlet cam cover. It looks like the half moon rubber at the back was leaking. Reassembled it with some sealant. Just now drove the car around the block a few time and it seems OK. Will check it out again in the morning.

Plan is still to go onto the QLD skyline cruise tomorrow.

Have to go now, need to finish putting the backseat in for the kids.

*picks jaw up from the desk*

damn that looks wicked, you have given me a new way to look at the r34 gtr conversion, never really fancied it, but yours looks seamless and sleek.

btw, what suspension you got on sits really good. and would the side skirts i got off you sit lower then your current ones ?

good stuff buddy!

have you decided on wheels yet?

Probably Gold Rays GT-c's. That should make it stand out just a bit more :devil:

Currently running 25mm spacers on the fronts to fill the guards, so they are 18x9 +5

If I go the rays I can order the right offsets and play with disk type to get the same dish front and rear and that way I do not have to run spacers on the front. Just need to find the $4K minus the gtr rims sale price and wait 8 weeks for them

Ended up witth Sydneykid bilsteins with extra grooves, F & R king springs. The skirts make the car look alot lower than it is. Under the sill on the body they are 170-175mm. Rear wheel arch is 330-340mm.Can not go any lower on the rear, shock platform hits the tyres. The fronts cannot go any lower as the platform hits the suspension arm. The front diffuser is approx 80-90mm of the ground.

As RBstagea mentioned, it does look better in the flesh. The coulor is very hard to photograph for a novoice like me. Today JustDave photography took some pic's, so will see what they look like.

Part of the cruise today they ripped up approx 2-3ks of road. It was wet gravel. Not happy after spemding so much time getting it clean. Tried to clean it at the servo before these pic's were taken.

Still have the hood lining and boot trims to go in and the recaro's to put in. Then some time the new turbo and other bits still to go.

Beautiful, Darrin! Well done, and congratulations! It looks sensational, and like Brian and Ray said, the colour looks very much at home on the car.

I also think the R34 wheels suit it perfectly.

THe ride hight looks great too, it looks right. Much better than some other r34 front end conversions i've seen.

:D

Thanks for all the comments guys

I actually measured the clearance height on the front diffuser. 75-80mm :)

The first short drive I did on Saturday in it, only 3 k's from home, an undercover VE silver wagon checked me out for a fair while.

Luckly they did not pull me over. They probably thought, that is a nice Volvo!

Wow well done mate, great to see it come to gether over such a long period of time. Excellent! love the colour good choice there. Give it a little spin down to vic and we'll cruise haha

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
