Hey Guys and Girls,

Just recently purchased a R34 4 door from auction in Adelaide.

Just curious if the previous owner is on here, as i wouldnt mind some details on the car.

Description.

Silver R34 4 Door

Heavyly burnt. Front to rear

RB25 neo, 5 Speed

17x8 and 17x9 AVS wheels

3 or possibly 3.5inch stainless catback.

The rest of the car is pretty well stock.

Anyone know of the owner? or if your on here, would be great to have a talk with ya.

Cheers Dan

Also interested.

Between $1000 and $1500. Yea that sounds stupid just say actual cost but id rather not. but its between those figures.

As for the PM i got regarding the Neo turbo, i dont have 10 psosts and cant reply. I have removed it, has minimal shaft play and all feels good, when i inspected the impeller it looks like 1 of the blades is slightly distorted, i will look again, and possibally send it off to be checked by a specialist and or have a new impeller put on it.

Looking around $450 has actuator and elbow.

hmm how much would u want for the shell? so no engine, gearbox etc

The shell is badly burnt. not worth re using, will be scrapped.

The box is going behind my RB20 in my r31.

The motor has had the engine cover melted. yet to look under it. will be a good head, cams and block. so perfect if some blows a neo up and needs a short motor, or has a heavily modified one and wants to just bolt their aftermarket items on

don't know how hot it got, but goodluck prying the head off the block......I've lifted a whole car in the air with big block & tackle trying to lift an alloy head off a cast block (also in a fire) many years ago.......smashed it off in the end and stuffed the block in the process :happy:

surely the fire wasnt hot enough to warp and twist the chassis? stripping it back to chassis and rebuilding the entire thing from scratch should still be viable (unless the heat munted the metal)

yeah, getting an alloy head of a cast block after a blown head gasket is hard enough, let alone a fire

not worth it Dohmar, might as well scrap it and put the parts into an already half finished 33. youd never get the burnt smell out of the car

+1

About the only thing I could think of is if you had a track/drift car you totalled and needed a new shell...

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
