I have. It is made of brick and is commonly termed a garage :P

It is definitely possible to get over 700kms before the light comes on whilst cruising at 100-120kph.

It has been done a number of times and with a favourable road/breeze, 800kms when the light comes on is possible (rare though)

I have a garage to. just my dad and sister seem to beat me to it.

i dont think ill ever get more than 400Ks out of mine. maybe when i lean it out. doubt it though

I generally get about 400km out of mine also, but on my way to the snow I did 659km from 70.8L of fuel, ie 10.7L/100km.. I think we've got an 80L tank, so theoretically could've squeezed more out but the light was well and truely on at that point. What fuel consumption does your Informeter give you?

I get between 450-550 city and I have got 800 out of one tank kept it at 100-110kph but.. At 120-130kph its about 650..

Installed the new head unit and sub into the cargo storage.. Much better sound now.. Whilst doing that realized the muppets that drilled the holes for the child restraints didnt silicone it properly now I have leaks in the rear area.. So anoying..

to be honest havent set up the fuel consumption on it. the car sayse something stupid like 6.7/100km which i would like if it were true lol

Unless you've had the english conversion done, the readout is actually in Km/L, not Litres per Hundred Kays, so yours is probably about right.

are you talking about after markets or just new globes? i'm currently using 8000k's although I prefer 10,000k.

as long as you have your lights angled down it shouldn't be a problem!...I drive at night mainly and I never get flashed or pulled over.

Be careful when choosing the Kelvin rating of your new lights - as outlined here, Kelvin rating has little to do with the actual light output. Kelvin is a measure of colour TEMPERATURE, so basically how "warm" or "cool" the produced light is, not how bright.

that would mean i should get 537kms out of the tank though. I need to lean it out i think.

couldnt agree more. i remember having an argument with someone at Autobarn trying to sell me these. I had to dumb it down so much by saying lets refer Kalvin as Kandles(candles) having 8000kandles is going to be warmer that 6000kandles. still didnt believe me. i showed him it in the book. why do they hire these people

You would if you drove it dry mate.

You should get another 120kms for so once the fuel light comes on (maybe more), but I remember you saying that you only run it down to the 1/4 tank mark?

Bought 3rd set of new fronts seats

have to decide which ones to put in

Evo 8 Recaro's

Brand new bright red Millinium Recaros's

Black Drift R34 GTR copies.

Collecting new engine parts for forged Rb26 swap

Brand new R32 GTR engine wiring harness, Nismo conrods, ACL multi layer head gasket, ARP head bolts, Genuine gasket kit, s/hand spitfires, stock ecu for Nistune. N1 oil pump (might change to Nitto)

next pistons, bearings, maybe new crank, and head parts like valve guides, springs etc and a pair of -5's = 400rwkw and hopefully a high 11 sec :D .

What youve said confused the shit out of me mate :P Heres how I understand it.. how far off base am I? :D

Kelvin is a measure of heat - think of it as degrees celcius if it helps. Now, when you heat up a piece of metal, it first goes red hot - if you can keep heating it then it starts going yellow, heat it even more then white hot.

Candles is a measure of how BRIGHT something appears, in a darkened room, you light 1 candle - and you'll illuminate the room to a certain extent. Light a 2nd candle, and the amount of illumination increases.

So, the rating of 8000kelvin for a set of headlights is the equivilent to how HOT it is getting which determines the colour (5000, yellow hot, 8000 white hot)

A rating of 1000 Candles for a light is a comparison to how many candles would need to be light the same amount of area.

SO, you can have 5000kelvin 1000 Candle and youd have a yellow light.. or you can have 8000kelvin 1000 candle and itd be quite a white light. Both would illuminate the same amount.

yeh thats a better way of putting it! but this guy is stupid and cant weld. he is an old friend who i think should never have been given a car. the only way he'd understand is if i burnt him with a candle lol

You would if you drove it dry mate.

Yeh your right. i only run it to 1/4 at max. but that when i only get about 250 to 280. 300 hundred is about half way through that last quarter

i bought another M35

Iaiaaaiaiaiain, I bet its got awsome economy.

Ohhh i forgot to mention something.

Bought me an eManage Ultimate today with a universal harness for $676.00 Aud directly from Japan with free shipping.

oh.. its BRAND SPANKING NEW :D

Funny noises coming from the front of my car, so I think some coil overs might be needed (either that or some ball joints/bushes are STUFFED) :rolleyes:

Sounds like a piece of gravel is in one of the shocks rubbing up and down as I go over bumps and corners.

Anyone got some coil overs they want to sell :D

I think i'm on my way to around 500K's to 70L (14L/100K)!!!

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
