Started shaving the bump strips the other day, there's a decent layer of bog, so will have to sand it all back to see what I've got. Going to remove the bumpers and see if I want to leave them off or replace them with early model ones.

It's not going fast by any means.

ah yeh, its the houses that take ages :action-smiley-069:

had my house to work on..... well still do haha

but got into it the last couple weekends

Yeah, it's going to be a very slow process - I haven't decided if I'll do enough to get it registered first, or do a complete strip and do it properly from the start. Each has advantages and disadvantages

Didn't mind the study tiles, looked alright, maybe just how they look through the camera though.

No quotes yet - have to collect stuff like certificate of title, existing plans and stuff first.

I don't have any walls to come down, I do want to add a larger door opening in a couple though, and some bigger windows

chucking in the 20v it needs engineers cert so itll be a full rebuild

you need to roll your guards a bit more. not a fan of that look, wheels will look great on a 350z, v35 or r35 GTR (maybe) with wider wheel arches but not on an R34. wrong wheels for stretched tyres etc.

major concave or dish on stretched tyres

ash you need a 235 on the front and a 245 on the back and roll your guards accordingly :action-smiley-069:

So will my engine... but if it's already registered I can drive around for a while with the new engine without a engineers cert :action-smiley-069:

No no, it's not regoed, but I could do that first - haven't decided yet

Decided on a colour though - I think lol

agreed, that's an oversized rim for wheel arch and it looks like you couldn't afford low profile tyres in the right width to maintain the same rolling diameter.

In layman's terms... that just looks habib spec with povo tyres in those pics.

No no, it's not regoed, but I could do that first - haven't decided yet

oh yeh wat color?

meh it was only for a show and shine. not like a bought it.

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
