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.

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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
