haha busy indeed!

tell us if you notice a difference with HDi FMIC .. i actually noticed more lag in the short end because of the stock turbo. but pickup in the middle range top end when it was cold at night (bearing in mind qld winter is 25C)

hopefully that will change with the hiflow.

got some tuning nuts today and replaced the stocky nuts with all 20 of the tuning nuts.

Should be a good deterrent for anyone attempting to steal the rims as theyll need to get all 20 off without rounding the nut and that wont be easy.

and ordered the centrecaps from rays.. $200.. (rip job)

Can park out front without being overly paranoid now!

Are they the Taleb tyres ones?

I bought a set, finish was nice, but I ended up running at tap down them as the threads were fairly gritty. Check them before you fit them.

hi duncan , not sure what brand they are , i got my tyre friend to source them for me from mullins wheels in SA (the bag had no brand names), but they were really good nice threads and clean.

i needed quite small ones for the key not to scrape the rim as its really narrow

    • 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?
