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.

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.

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.

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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
