Hey guys,

I picked up another slyline a few weeks back and i thought its about time to do a slight write up :D

Its an r34 sedan GT-T Tiptronic with 83000K's on the clock and it has been in oz for a little bit over 6months.

Iv had a 2 imports before this one, a r33 gtst & 200sx s15 :glare: at the moment i also have a E30 bmw

When i bought the slyline it was completely standard mechanically and had a bit of a sterio and window tint so i thought this was a prime starting point considering iv also just lost my license for 6months (P1's - 13km/hs over the limit :yucky: )

Sunday just gone, i picked up a set of GTR 34 wheels with brand new tires and put them on, only thing now is its higher then a Hilux with a liftkit! Soooo iv got some HSD HR's on the way and hopfully they will arrive ether tomorrow or next week sometime.

And thats it for now i have a few other plans i cant wait to get into. Below are a few pics from the day i got picked it up & what its like now with the wheels, enjoy :blink:

First day

The coilover should be arriving Monday yay and I have the week of annual leave of work! Woot!

I don't think I'll go a kit though, i had a vertex kit on the s15 and it's didn't like my diveway....as you can see on the pics it's rather steep lol

Bit of an update

Alright coilovers arrived Tuesday afternoon and they where in by 8:30pm lol

The 34 looks so much better now and handles great! :P

I think I’m going to raise the front though about 10mm or so, it does scrub on the inside plastic on full lock...

Also I got some pineapples too however after getting them I’ve heard quite allot of negativity towards them. Does anyone else run them on there skyline?

below are some pics :) cheers guys! Any imput would be great

f**k your house is hot - i'm looking for a clarendon very similar - with the sexy feature window and all :ban:

sweet choice of rims too mate, out of curiosity - how much did you pick them up for?

Thanks mate! yeah love living round here, so close to the hills but still not to far from town! maybe 15-20min drive :D

I did a straight swap for them, I had my bmw wheels for sale (16x8 +0) with some new kumoh's on and a guy had these for sale so yeah :P I’m pretty happy, love the look of it..So happy!

Looking fantastic so far mate! Fantastic ride height. What other plans do you have for it?

Got a few ideas but nothing has been set in stone yet!

Performance wise - Next thing on the list for sure though is an exhaust! I’v been reading up on the Verex' and by the sounds of things there great! So that’s that.

In the bigger picture though probs up the boost, fuel pump, front mount & considering stall converter shirt kit.

Externally - Before I got the GTR wheels I was going to get a set of the Volk GT-V's so I think I will probably end up changing wheels and then doing allot of guard work :)Then I want the carbon roof & lip spoilers too and if there’s still some moneys left laying around lol I might chuck in some red buckets. That’s the idea I have in my head of it but really whenever do plans go to plan haha :)

Exhaust all done and it looks insan! The sound cant be described, you need to hear it! If anyone is after QUALITY fab work, Andrew from AM Performance is the man to see. you can contact him on [email protected] or his phone is 0401 865 373 :bunny:

heres the pics.

Andrew also can do coolerpipes, thats next on the cards for mine, he also does strut braces, turbo heat sheilds, lazer cut plates and much more. Soon to be doing roll cages too...

That exhaust looks pretty good, mate! Looks like it'd be pretty loud though!

suprisingly not, it isnt that loud, sounds good.

And i dunno if you watched him Lewis, weld it all together, he makes it look so easy, and he definatly knows his stuff

Naa unfortunately not, only him polishing it all up when I arrived to pick it up...

yeah its not overly loud, but it does have the informs RB growl & bite to it!

Completely off topic but niksta do live in the flagstaff hill, hub or happy valley area by any chance?

Edited by Volk34

Love it mate, the GT-R wheels look awesome on just about anything. Big fan of the exhaust also, have one of Andrew's systems on my 33 ( exact same system as on his car ). They sound just that little bit different to most other RB exhausts which I love.

thanks mate, sadly the guy i got them off decided he was a big fan of gutter rash so yeah every oppotunity he had he did lol :P

iv got them going in to get touched up (no welding needed) and powder coated gloss black inc. centre caps and thats happening towards the end of jan start of feb

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
