hey stageatype S....i was wondering where did you end up buying your front quarter panels on your car from? because i found the masa motorsport R34 conversion, but they dont have your quarter panels.

I order them direct from Masa in Japan.

If you are in OZ, I organised copies to be made. Contact CCubed in Sydney for them, they own the moulds. Aprrox 600-650 pair

Do not buy any of the cheap copies of ebay extra

What other Masa parts have you found, as most of the other bits need are genuine R34 gtr

Since my thread has been bumped, a bit of an update

Currently working on the car every night tring to get it finished for a drag day on the 29th May

I have a list of over 20-25 items still need to be done, some alot bigger then others.

Hopefully get the final engine work done this week, modify exhaust and fmic piping next week and then on the dyno the following week.

Plus supsension and brake work as well.

No pic's, you will have to wait until it is all done

Still have to refit the front guards, bonnet, head lights and front bar before Saturday.

where did you end up taking it to get tuned darrin? hopefully you don't have the same boost creep problem i was having on the gcg dump.

EFI Performance

Not shaw how it will go. I had it at the exhaust shop last Wednesday for 7-8 hours getting the exhuast to fit (it was bent is 3 places) plus intercooler piping changes to suit turbo and inlet plenum.

I ended up with a HKS silent cat back which 3 inch with a canon on the rear and a large centre resinator. The problem with that is the resinator only has approx a 2 1/2 pipe thru the middle, so that may restrict it a little.

Are you free Saturday arvo?

what power level are you hoping for?

i have a HKS system but the 409 not the silent, i think they are the same just one is shinny stainless. i never looked down the centre muffler, i bet its the same to :cheers: . though mine seems to flow good enough. i'm blaming the split dump for the creep, i opened up the wastegate pipe entry at the flange and it helped. still get the occasional spike. think i may mod it to be a bellmouth.

yeah i should be free, i haven't made any plans as of yet. why's that?

It has enough bolt on's to get to 300rwkw, as long as there is no issues

Will have to wait and see. Will be limited to stock head gasket, so 18-19psi

Sat arvo QLD SAU drag day. I think I get 1 free passenger entry included. My son is going, under 13 are free. Otherwise $20 to watch.

Should be picking it up this arvo if there are no issues. Not sure if I will get much work done tonight on it, State of Origin is on (Go Queensland)

Will get the full front on Thursday night, drive to it work on Friday, 75km round trip and then race Saturday. Hopefully

Put the new wheels on the other day, 19x9.5 +12 but they are B disk and they clear the r34 calpiers by about 1mm!!!

Grabbed some 3mm spacers yesterday just to be sure.

If it had r33 calipers, they would have not fitted.

Don't use crappy Chinese copy parts!!!!

The hks copy fuel rail is still leaking, now around the fuel entry

They are going to remove it from the car as it is not square on the ends and the screw in fittings are not sealling. Need to mill the end square

First few power runs were seeing over 200rwkw's at 14psi when rail was leaking.

After bagging doggy chinese stuff, I need to kick my own rear end

Due to running out of time getting the piping done, I made a very doggy BOV return line from high pressure PVC pipe to "just get the car going"

The tuner stopped due to worring about it blowing apart on the dyno.

So I will be picking up a new metal pipe from the exhuast shop tonight as well as picking up the car.

Will have to remain as is until next week when I can get it back on the dyno.

Anyway it is making 330rwhp (246rwkw) at only 15psi.

Tuner advised it was still making easy power and should get to the magic 400rwhp figure I want.

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      r34 Skyline 25 Gt four GTR conversion (ENR34)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
