I suppose when you have an R35 you have better things to do than be on a forum :P haha. Thanks for the reply. I kinda want to check one out in person. Might just ask the guy if I can have a look inside though I imagine he will say no because he thinks im some random sticky handed kid haha.

from my perspective ( work on a few of them.) they are quite a car and QUITE FAST. brakes are equally awesome. that said the car is too smart for itself.

all of the guys I have dealt with are older people (45+ ) that have better things to do than sit on the net. both of the guys in melbourne I have done are medical people and didnt know what NAGTROC or SAU was.

I kinda have to agree with the car being too smart for itself, give it another 15 years and cars will probably have too much electronics to even really work on yourself without a degree in electrical engineering haha.

Chris is your 34 blue? I remember seeing a blue 34 gtr heading north along gympie road from the city quite a while ago.

EDIT: Chris I just checked out your companies website, are you any good with soldering? The instrument cluster in my soarer needs 2-3 capacitiers replaced and I'm definately nothing flash at soldering not to mention I've never desoldered before. If you don't do this sort of work do you know of anyone In Brisbane north side that has reasonable prices? I can supply parts if needed as it will probably be a bit easier that way.

Hi Orphan

Yes I am a member . This site has been the most informative for getting info on my new car. I had a GTR33 for 13 yrs before I upgraded to this beauty. And it is going to get quicker just as soon as I decide to ditch my wty. Good coffee and good cars go together.

Regards

Mark.

Hey,

I was just wondering if the owner of a red R35 who has been at Campos Cafe the last two weekends is a member on here? Car looks great in red, glad you gave it some when you left, made my day haha.

I didn't see it, too busy smashing into my Campos fryup last weekend :) Funny though as I do see you (Mark) driving near my place a fair bit, in the 'vale

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
