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:

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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
