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 !

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
