Many thanks Vish, hope you get your wish ...... It took me a while go get the cash and the right car just fell into my lap !

Good luck in you quest. I'm still new to all this..........always had big ol' motorbikes and big Yank Cubic inches but this is great.

As a newie to all this the guys in this forum like yourself have been really pleasant to me and I've been doing

a lot of reading and there's so much information here and I've been inhaling the knowledge from all the gurus who know these cars backwards.

I have a lot to learn.

Cheers & thanks for the note!

regards

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

welcome to the r34 gtr club lol. unfortunatly i havnt driven mine yet its still in compliance.

hope to see you around melb some time :P

Thanks Sam, you are the ONLY one who will be putting their hands on this car (Except me).

I have Ian to thank for referring me to you and

I'm totally satisfied.

Dr Drift is the man only man in Melbourne...........I'll be back!

Thanks again

Jim

Sam has a great rep and has worked on many a SAU car :P, but to be fair, if your preferred tuner is not available for whatever reason, there are still some very good people to take the car to in Melb. Heard of Race Pace?

Trent @ Status Tuning would be your other top choice for tuning.

Thanks for the tip Gohan,

good to keep on record but for now Sam's the man. He was great......he was way overloaded with work but he still managed

to slot me in and I had the car in a couple of days. Really nice bloke too.Totally professional.

Proximity wise he's fairly close to where I live too.

cheers & beers

Jim

Ta Scotty,you're right,

I can't wait to get some bucks to start buying some bits for this thing............It's just occurred to me that

motorbikes are cheaper ....... Glad I didn't have to sell my old 2 wheeled iron to get my "R" !!

Cheers

Jim

Thanks Brendan, I'm still messin' my dacks every time I turn the key & hear the burble.....and the exhaust is still stock !

Cheers

Jim

Your welcome Jim, I'm still the same every time start mine up lol I got Apexi N1 exhaust.

Ta Kimbod, I'm still comg to grips dealing with the power of of a mill less than 4 litres !

Way different to the big Wedges (V8's) i've had before........ a whole lot more tech too !

    • 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.
