umm...

Nissan Skyline R34 25GT 2000 Model.

2.5L Inline 6, 24 valve, twin cam

93,600Km's on the clock

What else would u like to know, keeping in mind that im not a mechanic or expert =)

Congrats.

Auto or manual?

Suggested entry level mods:

- Put some nice tasteful 17" or 18" wheels - should look good - Especially since you already have a body kit.

- Window tint

- Replace the head unit with a 4x50W system - You will be surprised how much the stock speakers can handle.

- Since its a non-turbo - put a high flow panel filter and high flow cat - I wouldn't really bother with doing any other mods to the engine - the Nissan engineers have already done a pretty good job IMHO. Well maintained is the way to go - use the best oils, fluids, filters and maintenance items.

- Be prepared to change your timing belt and coilpacks (If they haven't been changed) - If there is no record of them being changed assume they have not been - get it done soon.

Enjoy your ride! :D

nic, It is completely standard aside from the side skirt that the dealer decided to put on for some reason, probably just to give it a sportier feel =P

I plan to do the audio as soon as I get the money together, other than that I want to keep it mainly stock unless the mod bug bites me and I get an urge to do something to it.

iseekool, Its Manual, I wouldn't dream of putting my hard earned cash into an auto sports car, even if it is a sedan four door.

I actually like the factory rims, i've never really been one for rims, which i see as a good money saver =)

I do plan on putting a darker tint on it, any recommendations on a good place near sydney?

The audio is a definite, Im gonna get a decent double din and sub, and im tossing up whether or not to run an amp to the stock speakers to boost them up a bit, any pointers?

Exhaust is a usual definite, but i've decided to wait until I have spare cash laying around and I dont wanna put it anywhere else, then I'll do it, keep my police attention minimal, so they wont have the camera lined up when im coming from the other side of the hill =P

Thanks for the service information, that is the most helpful thing i've heard, I knew about the timing belt, but the coilpacks is news to me, thank for that :D

I don't like your shoes, at all.

That being said, picked up a nice example. Looks pretty clean.

I'll give my opinion on what I reckon you can do to make it awesome.

Service as per what iseekool has said.

Take off that god-awful sideskirt!!

Dark tint

Air filter

Amps can be wired into your factory setup, but i'm f**ked if i know how. Audioexperts are everywhere though.

Aftermarket coilover suspension (corners at reasonable speed is what makes a sports car enjoyable)

Exhaust

Rims.

Buy my spare wheels imo

also, congrats :) if you want to meet and greet lots of SAU NSW guys a thursday night coastie cruise might be a good start. often 20 or 30 cars on a good night. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/We...-2-t190095.html

Thanks for all the mod suggestions guys, Keep em up, Im happy to get suggestions given to me.

Does anybody know where I can get a GTR stock wing? That would fit onto it well wouldn't it?

Also, any suggestions on a bodykit that would match the sideskirt? though, I was hoping not to lower it so much that I need to do 10kms down bumpy roads :D

I was going to head to that Thursday cruise tonight, but i've got a family dinner I need to attend, I WILL however be joining in on one of those as soon as I get a free Thursday

Update

Put on a new wing, when the shop took off the lip they told me I had a 6 inch hole leftover :yes:

I came down to check it out before they did anything else, and found out they were talking about the hole where the boot lid brake actually goes, so I got one of those and put it in aswell.

I will get a photo with the brake light in it during day time aswell asap.

Basically, here is a photo of the before and after:

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
