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:

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
