Thanks Aaron, I'll probably be buying coilovers in the next few months. The only mods I've done so far are the headunit and gear knob haha.. poor effort I know.

Lol Thats all they need. Please don't put a pod in there for fully sick VTec sounds

Hi Guys,

I have been out of the scene for a while now, my last performance car was an RX3 13B Turbo which I sold 12 months ago.

I owned an R32 GTR many, many moons ago (2002) and have wanted to buy another R ever since.

Well, the time has come, I have bought a 2002 R34 GTR V-Spec II and am will be flying over to Perth and bringing her home in a few weeks.

I am looking forward to getting involved with SAU VIC and have paid for a membership about a week ago, just waiting for it to come through.

Here are a few photos, not very good ones and the car is really dirty, but you get the idea.

Nice!

Welcome aboard Shaun!

Bring it along to one of our monthly Garage Cafe Meets or otherwise to our annual SAU VIC Show n Shine next month!

Edit: Or if want a bit more fun, bring it along to one of the upcoming track days or DECA at the end of the year

Nice pickup, brake porn!

Damn straight, I am stoked about the fact it has the Endless set up. 6 pot front with 370mm discs and 4 pot rear.

Nice!

Sounds good.

I am definitely keen on the show n shine and would be good to get to a cafe meet before that to say hello.

Good time to get back involved with the FA's mate

It's all still alive and kicking - first event, should be SAU Nats - Funny that all the FA's are coming up for that as well looks like ;)

Absolutely!!

I am meeting up with Darren and Dan in October to say hello, haven't seen the boys in years.

How is everyone going to get their cars to the Nats? Drive or Truck?

Darren & Dan... two that we never see either lol.

Driving mate - No doubt a thread will go up in the events section (VIC) - it'll be some stupid epic convoy of 50 cars. I can see it already in my daydreams :D

That 34 GTR looks perfect! Good buy

Thanks.

Talking of FA, check out these very old school photos (actual photos I had tp scan) from a Nando's meet back in 2001 (i think) and a photo of the crew at the Jamboree to see the HKS Drag R33 GTR.

My Car was the white 32 GTR with stock wheels. Jacks Z is in there and Darren's 32 GTR, also a few LS1 boys by the look of it.

I can even see Ben's (aka Racepace) 33 GTR from back in the days when it was running the big single and those white Sparco wheels.

I remember that night, it was my first time to get a ride in the RPM GTR - ahhh, the memories of the big single, and the noise it made when it cracked gate!!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
