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

      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)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
