Well picked up my r34 today and figured i should say gday here will hopefully be joining in with as many events as i can.

Car i got is a just about completely stock manual 2001 r34 GTT skyline. Only thing i know isn't stock is the gearknob which is a bit unfortunate but not a big issue to me.

Anyway here are some pics with the cop of a car i have been driving around as well (s13 = non-turbo fail)

Actually have a couple of Q's you guys might have answers for.

1. i have that little nissan prince sticker on the back there and its stuck as hell any ways to get it off without damaging paint?

2. My headlights have that yellowing that seems to happen fairly commonly and not sure on what to use to try to bring it up to looking good again.

thanks for the nice comments guys

Meguiars PlastX, works a treat on yellowed/blotchy 34 headlights

and as for the sticker, you can try heating it with a hair dryer or heat gun, not leaving the heat on one spot for too long, and then slowly work your way in from one corner, once you get the sticker off just use a warm damp cloth to rub the excess sticker glue off.

If need be you can clay bar anything left behind.

and welcome, PS, love the steering wheel, was considering re-trimming my stock one in a very similar way to that one, only with a more golden/tan colour where your silver is

I thought the wheel was stock too has it been re-trimmed to be like that or is it cause it is a series 2?

Thanks heaps i actually found the DIY section just before and saw how to do the lights with sanding back and all but would prefer not to sand it unless i really need to i'll give the Meguiars ago and steal my mum or sisters hair dryer

welcome mate!

i vote less r34 more s13 :)

*flamesuit on*

Great purchase mate and welcome!

+1 vote!!! :D:(

lol why oh why although i must say the s13 was great fun since i didn't have to care about the car itself but no air con in the current heat was killing me

yeah its a s2 steering wheel.. wanna swap? carn..

haha nah i'm alright the s1 wheels look pretty boring :)

Looks like i'll get a new headunit, speakers and alarm all installed by Chris from audio express since he has been recommended so much on here and even the compliance guys that i bought my car off (imperial motor imports) highly recommended him too makes it easy on me knowing he is so good. Although i have not yet gotten in contact with him will probably do that once i have sold the s13 so i have bit of spare cash

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
