Hey matey... i think the R34 was me - i work around that area, and would have been driving there this morning at around 8:30am or there abouts? it's an R34 GTR V-Spec II - Bayside Blue..

What were you driving? I'll look out for you next time and make sure to wave a hello!

Nice. Was in my brothers teg :rant: But soon back in a silver R33. No real defining marks... 18' Rohs are about it, not even side skirts! haha

Was overtaken by a black 33 today, GTR front bar and wing and DARK tinted windows. Looked nice, but those windows were so heavily tinted i couldnt tell if the driver was waving or not. If you're on here, i'm jealous of that tint...

maroun 33 driving down lathlain street in belco at about 10 past 1 this afternoon. i think it had a wastegate cos it fluttered... im jelous of the flutter >_<

also saw a black 33 near immigration in belco

LOL, just so that you know for future reference, all turbo charged Skylines have wastegates, I think you mean that it sounded as though it had an external wastegate.

The flutter that you heard doesnt come from the wastegate either, its called inlet reversion and it is the unused gas in the inlet being forced back through the turbo and out through a pod filter when the throttle closes, this is usually caused by an aftermarket blow off valve being adjusted to tight and not allowing enough gas to escape before it returns to the turbo.

It may sound cool but its not really that good for the turbo, especially if it is a stock one.

Now you know :(

Spotted and insane looking silver R33 at the cormer of Sternburg and Ashley Drive (Erindale Mobil sevo) at 3:00pm Gauges, wings and numerous holes in the bonnet..(hell, I call it as I see it :D

and a shout out to the white R33 with th enismo sticker last week at the Isabell adrive and ashley drive round about who waved (7ish).

and the very nice silver r32 at the airport bottle neck last monday at 6:30am

You'll know me cause I always give the "hang loose" wave

well i learnt something today... i always thought it was an external wastegate that fluttered and did a better job then a blow off valve.

also i saw a black R33 4 door at the newsagence on townsville street in fyshwick between 1 and 1:30 this arvo.

That was me but unfortunately its only a gts-t :D . Didn't see your mate in the BMW, I was in a rush to the servo because I had just found a screw in my tyre, and needed to check if it was losing pressure.

Spotted a myriad of skylines in the nations capital over the weekend, most memourable being a Bayside blue R34 GTR in Westfield Belconnen. I didn't get time to catch up on friday night, and i was in the missus' corolla anyway.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
