I have had my Nissan Y34 Cedric VIP 300 for a few months now. Got it off Iron Chef.

It looked like this but with stockies on it.

After a few weeks i got it tinited.

Then after waiting a few months for my wheels to arrive they were put on with a slight gaurd roll on the rear and front and it sat like this for a couple of months.

Wheels are 19" Work LS406's with custom Burning Black Painted Centres. Sizes are 19 x 9 + 20 and 19 x 10.5 +20. 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 Sumitomo Z3's

After spending a few weeks trying to work out how to go about the busted Shocks it had i finally manned up and Ordered a set of JIC FLT FAR Coilovers. Had some great help from Importmonster Guys with this. If you need anything for your car hit up www.importmonster.com.au. They will help you out as much as they can and with anything you want from japan. Be it for your car or some random japanese thing. They can pretty much source anything.

I have put a sub and amp and replaced 6 of the 10 speakers in the car for my enjoyment.

I have plans of getting a kit for it. Just have to save up the money for the kit.

I hope to one day get some engine mods for it. Bigger turbo and injectors, Front Mount and the likes.

But the stock VQ30DET engine has enough balls for cruising around adelaide for now.

Id like to thank Matt and Joe from Wheelworx for helping me get the rims and tyres.And for letting me do it all at work.

Stewie from SFR for helping me put the coilovers in.

Adam from 619 Customs for the sick installs bro and the tint :banana:

I will be out and about in the thing as its my daily. Alot of ppl think it's a new Unrealesed Merc. Alot of ppl just stare trying to work out what it is.

If you want to come down and have a better look Come down to Wheelworx on Port road. Ask for Brenton (me)and I'll answer any questions ya have about it.

K Thanx Bye.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.
