Hey Guys

Firstly, as you will notice this is my first post, I am new to the forum and am a first time skyline owner... only just recently got one!

My car (pics below) is a 98 auto r34 gtt with nismo kit. I love the kit and also love the fact that this particular one is completely stock, nothing done to it so i can make it my own! please don't flame me for havin an auto, i won't go into any auto v manual debates, it was a personal choice for me. period.

I always felt like an outsider looking in when seeing others on performance car forums such as this, my mate at work has a skyline and is always on this place! Now I can really relate, since buying my car I have been on these forums alot, reading through, building up my knowledge base (i can't name all the engine parts, what they do, and how to fix them like most on here).

I am starting to look for acknowledgement when driving by and spotting a fellow skyline drivers, I am starting to feel the sense of community which I think is great!

It's been amazing how much specific and good advice I've found on this place, not being that knowledgeable, it has helped me make some good decisions.

A couple things that have come about because of this forum include:

- I am taking my car to Bels Garage for a service this weekend, log books I got were Japanese and wanted ppl who knew what they were doing to see what needed to be fixed/replaced on my newly bought car. Bels has a great rep!

- Am also getting a premium autowatch alarm system/turbo timer from security in motion installed based on recommendations here

- am going out to buy some Meguirs Tech Wax aswell to make my car look hot! lol

Anyways more to the point, I have a question, look at the second pic below, this wasn't taken by me it was from the original ad... my mate who has a skyline says that the rims are 'stock GTR rims'... can anyone verify this? he also told me I could get a fair nick for them sold second hand, they are in as new condition, no blemishes.

Just wanted this piece of knowledge for future reference... down the line i intend on getting a nice set of rims and if could make some money off these that would be a bonus.

thanks for the help in advance and hope to be welcomed to tha place!

Welcome mate. Car looks neat and tidy. Make sure you comprehensively insure her!

Here are the actual R34 GT-R rims (they look similar but are an 18" rim and are painted the colour of brake dust)... they also have the GT-R logo on the centre cap instead of the Nissan logo.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
