My R34 4 Door

[msports180]

Hey guys starting another project, selling my stagea to get the missus a new Liberty wagon and also getting myself a 4wd, so am inheriting her 34 4 door in the deal.

At the moment its still pretty stock as until the stagea sells its her daily to take the kids etc, has been an excellent car though, so reliable, in the 4 years she has had it, have done the coilpacks and thats it. Obviously done all the servicing etc to it, car dosnt have any sqeaks or anything, i have been very suprised with its reliabilty.

OK as it sits now:

1998 Model

Turbo

Auto

Nismo coilovers (need replacing shocks worn)

Blitz rims (for sale)

Splitfire coil packs

K&N panel filter

Catback exhaust

I have been collecting parts for it for a while now, have sitting ready to go:

Manual conversion with excedy clutch

JIC rims 18x9.5 +15

Tein RA's (12kg spring, not sure if im gonna run these or not yet? opinion's?)

Cusco front upper camber arms

Rear camber arms

Front adjustable castor rods

HICAS cancellor bar

Walboro pump

Brembo's from my Stagea

Project Mu pads and shoes

ISC 52mm rad

Diff shim to tighten the LSD till i can get a 2way

Nistune rom

Origin Style boot lip spoler

Also have on there way:

JJR return flow FMIC

JJR dump

Hyper gear highflow

Custom oil cooler

Next parts on the wish list:

CF vented bonnet

CF boot lid

2 way

Some nice seats and harness bar

Gauges

Plans are to use it for club level sprints etc, some drifting and also maybe some tarmac stuff. Power wise goal is 350rwhp with max response, the reason for the highflow etc is to retain as much factory stuff as possible for reliabilty and legallity.

I will try and update this as we progress through fitting everything when the stagea finally sells.

Now for the pic's.

Same size wheels as I'm planning to get

-is that size all 4?

-guard mods?

-tire size?

-how much lower did you go?

and... more pics please?

cheers.

[msports180]

Yeah same size on all corner's, 235/40/18's, front guards are lipped and slightly pulled, rear's im yet to do havnt had time, but my old 34 had same and they needed to be lipped, not sure how much lower i went, just kept playing with the height till it looked right and stopped scrubbing, front's are borderline without camber adjustment, id say go a 225.

Havnt had much time to do anything to it lately, jsut moved into my new house, try and start on it soon once's the boring house stuff is done. Ended up not going with the Teins and went some HKS coilovers instead.

[msports180]

Havnt updated this for a while as it is pretty much still the same as above, havnt had time with house stuff etc.

But finally gonna start this week.

Manual conversion is happenning, ended up getting a HKS twin plate for it.

Also got some rear traction arms coming so i can get it in for a full wheel alignment.

Will get some updated photo's so, has been lowered some more at the back, wing removed and origin lip spoiler fitted.

[toffy]

OOooo sounds good , pics!! , nice house btw

[msports180]

OK so manual conversion is finished, havnt driven it yet though been trying to source a replacement lower rad hose.

Dump pipe on, rear traction arms done and rear end all done, diff shimmed to.

Will get it going this wkend then take it to a mate's place and rip the cradle out for some RC mods and change out all the bushes for some custom one's weve been making.

Its alive!! ended up getting a R33 thermo stat housing for it and used a R33 hose $30 new comapred to $77 for a R34 one...

So fired it up today for the 1st time in around 4 months.

Still cant drive it as i need to roll the rear guards and then its done.

Drove it in and out of the garage though, mainly just to see if it would move since doing the manual conversion, twin plate is savage!

Now waiting on a mate to roll the gaurds on the wkend, then drive time! wooo getting excited.

[msports180]

So its driving, and its awesome.

Diff is tight as fark, has so much grip its awesome. Have wound some camber out the rear but now the rims stick out to far for my liking, so there going.

[turboedsloth]

Looks pretty pimp Neil, what rims are you changing to?

[msports180]

So not much kinda happened to this for 2 years whilst i got hooked by 4wding, now ive got a pretty capable 4wd im getting stuck into this again.

Sitting there ready to go into it now are:

Kando T67

Hybrid Manifold

Tial 44mm gate

750cc injectors

Z32 AFM

Nistune with stagea image to remove TCS

Oil cooler

52mm alloy rad

walbro pump

4 x Defi style gauge's

2 x Bride GIAS seats

CF Z tune bonnet
