Hey all, Just need some advice / Opinions on picking out a r34 GTT here are a couple.

Car 1

Car 2

Prob more to come.

Cheers.

they both look good. only comment id make is regarding redline shockproof gear oil - its made for gearboxes without synchros, when it gets used in a synchromesh gearbox it has a tendency to wear the synchros faster than usual - the redline non-shockproof stuff is pretty decent by all accounts but I only use mineral oil in the gearbox as per nissans recommendation

-D

If you are after a super tough 4 door R34 PM "Evil34" - local guy and car. He is looking at selling soon and would be well worth a look!

indeed and a 4 door bears a tiny bit less po-po attention, esp when its without a spoiler

-D

I disagree Damo - I NEVER once was pulled over in 3 years of my R34 being my daily. and it was lowered, running on Gram Lights and had a GTR style front bar.

thats because u play stuff like shannon noll at full volume

cops know ur not a hoon

-D

Yeah id have to kinda agree, i havent been pulled over randomly in the time i have had ownership. Guess i was exaggerating a little :)

But i do disagree with a 4 door bearing lesser attention.

I dunno - when I first bought my R34 sedan 3 years back, I'd get pulled over every coupla months for a 'random breath test' or 'license check' ...

It doesn't happen so much these days, not entirely sure why... One cop did say that 'oh wow, its a sedan - nice' when he had pulled me over - does suggest they don't really notice, just see the Skyline badge/stove-top lights. That said, I don't seem to see as many police these days either (besides the undercover cop that sat up my ass for 10 minutes on Friday afternoon on the way home from work, trying to force me to speed - been meaning to call in his license plate as hoon actually, the way he was sitting up peoples asses, weaving in and out of traffic & sitting on 80kph on Grange rd ...)

I've been pulled over twice in all the time I've driven the gtr as a daily

both times it was licence check, rego check and breatho

then they let me go. *shrug* maybe its the suit

-D

+1 :)

I got pulled over once in 2yrs since i had it for a quick license check and let go.

This was with huge wheels, slammed, stretched tyres etc.

Only when i put the cage in i got reamed lol

100% Redline is in use in my car , shockproof is for diff, it's too slippery for synchos to mesh(hence you will trash the synchro's). you have to use MTL or the proper weight oil in tranny ...!!!

and it's the only oil approved for F18 engines if your into trivia

I could recommend it over crap mineral oil, try and pour the two side by side in cold weather,or check the temp drop in all applications when you use Redline... :whistling:

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
