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

Needs more low!

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 !

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
