thanks dude.

there 18x9.5 + 15 all around

they cost me 2600 but were all different color when i got them so had to get them painted which was another 800 then tyres at 1000

so around 4400 + the stickers lol they were 80 bux haha

i got them from a seller on the forums named eugene from jdm performance

how come you didnt go something wider on the rear? wouldve thought a 10" at least

they will do for the street.

i think that by having 9.5's up front they will deliver enuff grip. its a pitty that the ku's were dissapointingly not grippy at all.

looking at getting nitto nt55's from o/s later down the track.

fair enough, btw did you ever considering getting the te37 sl's instead considering they wouldve cost you about the same as your current rims and already have been gunmetal and a touch lighter too?

Finally some pics!! I've been watching this built up avidly, and it's good to see someone with a very similar mentallity to me when it comes to parts. Genuine or f**k off!! Nice work man, will continue to follow this til it's done.

You have too much money aye... Haha

here ya go dude,

ill wash it during the week and get some clean photos of it.

very very nice car julz, the wheels really set it off perfectly. Your front bar looks like a nismo GTR bar from those side shots? Any chance in spilling a bit of info on where you bought some of the parts from? (i.e. front, hood..)

thanks dude. it doesnt come with out its sacrifices bro. i moved back home and rented my house out so i would have enuff free money each month to buy parts and stuff.

thanks for the kind words, just need way more time to do stuff on it, working 7 days a week sucks :)

hay dude thanks

the front bar is a tommy kaira genuine item, it was on the car when i imported it. u can see more photos in the earlier posts of the front bar

bonnet i got from a SAU member its a top secret carbon bonnet

rims from forum supplier jdm performance (top bloke as well)

WHAT!?

f**k me! you really know how to make a cliff hanger!

hay dude sorry i missed ur post. the te37 sls are 4000 for a set then add tyres, + they r the wrong color, there gunmetal grey, my wheels are lamborghini satin black.

there only 200 or 300 grams lighter so to me that isnt really enuff to go out and buy them in terms or weight issues, my car has hardly any interior, and only 6x9's now + all the carbon stuff its a bit lighter than most r34's.

Nice build!

Any chance of more pics of the car & wheels in the day time? ;)

ill try dude, but im at work 7 days pretty much, on the odd ocasion i get a day off im running around getting shit done.

ive got a week end off though in a couple of weeks and plan on doing a few things to the car so they r on the way dude. cheers

couple more from saturday morning that a friend took whilst i was asleep at her house. its really dirty though so u cant see the pearl or the gold flake. i washed it on tuesday (it was sunny as in melbourne) and it was so sparkly in my driveway i couldnt look at it hahaha.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
