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...

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
