Just gave mine a bit of love ( oil and filter ) the good news - found split fire coilpacks and good plugs in there :P , bad news found timing belt looked like it belonged to Noah :) so had to change that aswell.

The Apexi ECU Harness arrived today, so I will have to get onto the install Sunday, I'm back at work so cbf after work.

Pics of my FMIC install as promised, did it Sat nite/Sun morning.

That FMIC looks perfect,did you have to cut the reo?or do any other "adjustment"?

Removed old coil pack wiring harness to install new one which had just arrived from JustJap... only to find the clips don't match... GREAT!

Next is to replace the xanavi and rear shocks... hopefully these go a bit smoother!

Impul ECU got installed. Im now driving a different car. This thing puts me on my arse real quick :(

wait till it finish's tuning it's self.... :)

BTW.....here's my new Nismo/greddy Combo!

Yeaah I had to cut a bit out of the reo bar. I do need to make up some custom brackets to bolt it in properly.

heatwrapped some Intercooler piping, dropped in some bcp6res11 plugs.

didnt gap them down to .8 left them at 1.1mm.

drives very well indeed. maybe even slightly better fuel economy.

also reflashed my aem fic/8 piggyback to a new updated firmware. reset the tune, altered afm voltage settings, seems to have more poke up around 6000rpm.

need to get back on a dyno to check out the tune

edit: also bought mike's momo steering wheel :thumbsup:

ordered front and rear camber arms

got a new boost gauge hooked up (apexi copy i got off my mate for free)

much easier to read without the smoked lens and its a mechanical one, not stepper motor

also took out the turbo timer cos i don't use it anymore, does weird things with the alarm - if anyone wants it send me a pm (greddy full auto turbo timer with plug and play loom)

Roof rail replacement kit finally arrived today: WUHOO!!! It's only taken 2 years to get this sorted! Also, Bilstein re-valve kit arrived a couple of days ago: Just need to collect my new daily driver (Hopefully next week), so I can get the Stag sorted...

momo wheel is on

woot

You should have opted for a R34 GTR/ GTT manual wheel though, comfy feel and also a tad smaller. No disrepsect Mike.

I know of a nice n/a grille that would look good on yer car, pm me bro.

5k service + fuel filter (which I i'm pretty sure has been there since factory :cool: )

Filter was a bitch!

CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely. IT's having a lot of trouble holding traction, mind you it is damp. I'll have to wait until it's dry for a proper test.

Rear upper camber arms have arrived also, will put them in soon.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
