After years of looking at these I finally have my dream car home. It had a fuel issue when I got it but all good now.

I'm so happy I can't beleive it's actually here.

After much analysis and wire following it's finally home. Sam (Dr Drift) in Melbourne found a few dodgy components in the ECU that weren't talking to the fuel pump

and pulsing the injectors and replaced them and she is 100% factory spec engine wise.

The only mod is the set of 18" Volk wheels.

Time to have some fun.......yee ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some "wanker-Graph of the new pup.

Thanks to all you guys who helped me with the fuel pum probs. Much appreciated.

Thanks Danny, thanks for the message. I'm as happy as a cop in the proverbial !!!!!!! As for as mods go I have to let the wallet re-inflate itself, it was really a

tough time to buy this thing and I really took a big hit buying it but it is so original apart from the wheels and only has 65K on the clock I just HAD to have it.

Being un-modded I can at least do it how I want to and not have to remove or replace somebody else's preferences but as they say all good things happen in time.

I know all it's history too and actually bought it in from the USA.........my cousin is a classic car dealer there, Shelby Mustangs, Hemi 'Cudas, Corvettes etc

and all that American muscle stuff but het stumbled on this and offered it to me.

The leader of the opposition (wife) was not too impressed but she figures at least it's not another woman so it's cool.

(Mind you....I'll probably spend more money on the R34 than the other fictitious woman!)

Hope to hear from you again soon,

Cheers & beers

Thanks FrangaR33. At the moment I'm going to leave the exterior exactly as is, I can't see a reason to change anything.

Once I get spare folders I might put a few " persuasive parts"

under the bonne just for a bit more nudge.

To be brutally honest, with the suspension kit that's already on it and 18" X 10" wheels all round it drives like a dream.

Cheers & beers

Thanks Ten, I'm not going to smoke you on the BAR wheels (I like 'em too) It's your preference, horses for courses.....all personal taste.

Funny thing though, had it not come with the Volk wheels I was gonna put 'em on anyway !!!

Cheers

You guessed right SS8_Gohan, from the good ol' USA. My cousin is a classic car dealer there and tried to

start a cult following on these but no go so I bit the bullet and told him to send it!

As far as price I cant say here and I haven't had 10 posts yet so I can't send PM's yet but

I'll PM you on that at a later date.

Cheers

Wait till you get a 3" / 3.5" turbo back exhaust as that will open it up more with response and power.

Looks great!

Welldone.

First time owning your GTR that sits right in front of you is got to be the best feeling. Very clean looking car!

so so true, best feeling ever

Great colour

Great car

I still take a 5 sec look at my car in the garage at times haha

Do you look in the rear vision mirror at times to check your shave and then catch yourself still smiling??? :(

Yeah ......quite a few few heads have told me you can get quite a bit more response out of these when they "Breathe" better !

After me and my wallet recover from the buy that's probably one of the first things I'll look at.

Cheers

Jim

AMAZING car man, so clean and i love the wheels!!!!

the r34 gtr body looks great, additions of some nismo skirts and rear pods make the car flow a little better. apart from that, thats it!

i just got some myself from bodyform and the quality is great, easy to fit with little fine grinding and a coat of paint. Heres a pic to get your motivation up lolz

Wow......I think I just got motivated Johnny! Your car looks great with all the skirts etc.

I wish I had a self inflating wallet to go and buy all these cool bits!

Theres a lot of knowledge in here for a newie like me to inhale.

Cheers & beers

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
