This is them!

They are prone to rust, so check your new baby over carefully, and cut out any corrosion pronto. There are a ton of other model skylines to poach parts from. Are you thinking of keeping it stock, or modifying?

hey a local!

you've come to the right place mate. what do u plan to do with it??

i go to the sunny coast semi-often. id love to see your beast some time. is it that white one from ebay last week??

Coupe i want to know why your bonnets are so rust free :thumbsup: and how much power the white girl is making?

Ha ha! Having owned a handfull of rusty Datsuns and Hondas I made sure to hang onto the two really rust-free and original examples that I found over the years! Also I keep them under cover, and have a mate who is handy with a welder, so when the inevitable bubble pops up it gets cut out and burnt at the stake as a warning to corrosion in general.

The white car makes 0 horsepower as it doesn't run at the moment (see timing fail post). If I can get the damn thing started it's going straight to Lam's automotive in Daylesford to get the cam dialled and timed, the new triples jetted and rebuilt if necessary, and then the whole lot tuned on a dyno. You can bet Ill be posting the results as soon as I get them. Previous best with (hateful) English SU carbies on a smokey L26 was an ok but basically unthrilling 140hp at the rear wheels. Hopefully a fresh, triple Dell'ortoed, flat-topped pistoned L28 is going to put out a bit more than that. However... I think the car is fun to drive mostly thanks to a close-ratio 5-speed and 4.8:1 LSD. Not a huge top end, but it accelerates a treat!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
