Very nice !!! just curious why you didn't go with the Top Secret side skirts like everything else, i think they look a hell of a lot better then anything else on the market they seam to flow with the lines of the 34 where as the nismo or nismo style make the car to boxy looking .

Thanks a bunch!

The Top Secret side skirts you mentioned aren't really side skirts at all. They're sold as side protectors on their website. The reason why I didn't go with them is because they only run up 1/3 the side of the car and only the rear portion. It didn't seem like there was anything extra on the sides. I wanted flow from the front diffuser to the side skirts. =)

Here's a picture of them before they are fitted.

This is what it looks like on the car.

Thanks Johnny, Thanks Bakes!

Looks great!

The Top Secret rear Spats like the Nismo side skirts for the R32 GTR looks nice too.

But still your carbon fibre one looks just as good.

+ you got some sweet ass deep lip on the TE37's.

*laughs* Thanks, they're 19" 9.5jj. I've got a friend who just got 19" 10.5jj in bronze. Should be a little more deeper. Will get some shots .

Yeah definitely the z-tune skirts look better, its an addition rather than the top secret ones which look like they were just stuck on.

big fan of your car dark child!! thanks for the inspiration

Thanks Johnny! Do share some pictures of how your ride it coming along. :)

Some day time shots I snapped quickly today.

Here are a couple more shots a friend of mine took today in the day time.

He says I have a carbon obsession and that I should get the doors, fenders, trunk and complete wing in them too. :banana: Painted of course.

you sir, have a severe case of the carbonitis.

I'm guessing the rear diffuser is kevlar though?

*laughs*

The Top Secret Rear Diffuser is a carbon fiber item, the Top Secret Vortex Generators on each side, on the other hand, are kevlar. A little contrast from the carbon bits. :)

Thats the best white r34 gtr ive ever seen. Dont know what else you could do to it great work..

Thanks! :banana:

I had the Do Luck fenders in mind actually as the Top Secret bumper is very round. :mellow:

Thanks guys! I'm sure you have equally awesome rides.

Yeah the Do-Luck fenders look pretty cool with the vent on the side.

But I still like the Z-Tune with vent at the top corner.

If not, go Sunline Racing front guards as they are based on the Z-Tune but a bit more aggressive.

Top Secret Front bar is like a Nismo Front bar but a few edges have rounded off but the opening for the FMIC looks great on it tho as it fits so perfect around it.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
