I bought a stock 34 GT sometime ago, its black and ready for new rims but not sure what color, style and size to get. I could follow the trend and get chrome, but im thinking maybe black w/red trim or bronze. Also im aiming for 18" but i've heard its a defect it your past +1 sizes from the stockies?? Please give your opinions :thumbsup:

color chrome and black look good on a black car.

size has to be 18" if you go bigger, it look to big and shit also the ride is bad.

style the sky the limit there. what ever you like, it will make or brake car

i have 19's on my r34 and the ride is ok man.

i would actually go 17's to be honest. ive had 17, 18, and 19inch rims and the 17 were the best in terms of handling.

Im currently on my p's so that explains the na and at the moment im going for looks over speed. One day i'll do some engine work but legally im really limited anyways lol :thumbsup:

And for the rims I think 18" it is. You think Black cr kais w/red trim will match the black car?

gun metal grey cr kais would look sick.

dont go black on black

if u want the red trim try to track down some super advans ooohhhh yeah

or some of the time attack volks

ive been considering getting some time attacks volks for a whille now,

white wheels would look good, any type of rays in good offset or work advan etc.

....Keep away from engine mods, never make your money back (especially on an NA). Buy some jap wheels so you can split if/when you sell the NA for a turbo after your Ps.

As for wheels, I'd def go black somethings with chrome lip or just full black :)

dont buy wheels, and save for a gtst :P

but more accurately and on topic, i would stay away with chrome (only cos i hate chrome full stop) bronze wouldnt be bad or even white.

and dont u dare do black on black, ew

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
