the important thing is, are you going to paint it canary yellow, dump its arse on stockies and install one of those fake exhaust flutters? :)

we all know it would go harder down bell street

hahaha yeah owning a house has its ups and downs... still more ups tho.

ie. mine is now valued at over 100k more then what i paid for it 4 years ago... cant really argue with that.

hehe certainly looking forward to that part of home ownership :) Need to do some renovating to help things along. Think I've finished my plans in the regard though.

What do you do Justin? Its funny cause here the contractors dont really get any more then perms depending on their role.

LOL i love society, I'm a hoon because i own a skyline, on my P's, and have a sub, yet i've had one speeding fine in my whole history of driving (finish p's in about 10 months) that was when i darted out my driveway (i live on nepean hwy) and got caught by a camera about 200m from my house

Awesome!

Love the E50's.

So you got the 3.3lt V6?

Which level of Elgrand did you get?

- Caravan

- Homy

- Highway Star

- Rider

Did you get a factory body kit / aftermarket wheels?

Its an Autech Rider 4WD... yeah 3.3litre, has the lounge package, Tein Coilovers and EDFC, 18inch chrome wheels, std rider kit, twin sunroofs etc etc.

I was looking at aftermarket kits like the Fabulous ones but theyre too massive. I will probably look at getting the door panels and maybe a rear bar but thats about it. The only exterior thing i got for it was LED tail lights.

yeah renos always help... weve done a fair bit to this place so far but it still needs a lot more. Its just hard finding a builder that wants the f*kn work. its near impossible.

still got the ensuite, a bathroom, laundry and kitchen that needs finishing and no builder this side of the city wants to do it. shits me.

My plan is to do it myself, that way I can maximize the increase in value, and not have to worry about builders wanting the work.

Just need a drafter to redraw my plans...

NICE!

Autech eh... Gota see pic!

Yeah my friends Elgrand has 18" Fabulous wheels, massive front bar side skirts, rear bar / lip and a few dress up accessories on the rear lights and panel.

He just bought a set of Tein Full Adjustable suspension from Aaron at Import Monster and will fit them in ASAP when they arrive.

He just installed a high flow air filter (replace the stock panel filter with high flow one) he said it runs a lot smoother.

I keep bugging him about an exhaust but he's not doing it yet.

Whats EDFC?

awwww yeah... giggity.

HELL YEAH!

edfc is like an in-cabin control of the suspension settings, ie. rice :)

anyone got a copy of Win 7 Ultimate 64bit that i could... ah.... borrow? :ermm:

got a brand spanking new system ready and waiting to be unleashed...

I started off doing it that way... now i cant be f*ked and its just quicker and easier to get people in to do it.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
