Hi All,

So yesterday, some guy came to me and took my car. He handed me a fistful of Kesh, and took my baby away.

After 7 years of ownership, better than $30k spent, several DECAs, track days, drag days, cruises, shes gone.

She went under the spray can twice, on the dyno maybe 15 times, shat a turbo once, destroyed 5 full sets of tyres, made lots of black lines at DECA and provided me with endless fun and games.

I will miss her sorely, I felt terrible when she drove away from me yesterday afternoon.

But Alas, such is life.

Post up photos of my baby and stories of her if you want. :P

It's a sad day in the life of Pete right now. Like Snowball said, I'm now just somebody who USED to be cool. :banana:

You suck Snowball!! :banana:

SAD BASS OUT

i'm actually feeling sad watching those pics :domokun: i too have been contemplating putting my T up... but just don't know if i have the stomach for it

although, i think i would feel better if it stayed on the forum or went to someone who was a real enthusiast.

Are they an SAU'er Pete? seem like an enthusiast?

Pete, I feel your pain!

Sold mine a while ago and still missing it.

Have not spent 10 minutes in the garage since.

Though I do still have the neglected Starion to start all over on again.....

Booo, no good Pete. I'm not sure how long I've got left either....apparently 7 years of owing an R34 and being "childish" is enough for the wife, I've been told I have to get a responsible looking German car next and stop pretending I'm still 21 :banana:

Unfortunately for her, any German car with grunt is gonna put a dent in the funds :domokun:

      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.
