Installed a JJR oil cooler and relocation kit today, replacing the Greddy oil relocation kit I had. The JJR kit has proper AN fittings, the Greddy one uses standard hose clamps.

I was searching around on the net for my exhaust and I found the original for sale thread from the person who imported my c34. It had a list of items and mods that seemed similar to mine so I called the number and we ended up chatting for an hour on everything that he bought and did to the car once he imported it on '08. Turns out everything was done right the first time and left all of my questions answered, I was extremely happy and he was too after hearing the car was left unchanged for soo long, and the car had been very well looked after.

Calling him was probably the best thing I have done to the car, and he had me thinking about his list of mods he was going to do, as we all know most old school info is lost in the 'archives' and ppl saying 'do a search ffs'

Knowing that your pride and joy has been in the hands of someone who knew what they were doing and loved the car is a great feeling, and knowing that you bought the car with all the parts are still there is even better. (Well the owner I bought it from pulled 2 parts just before I bought it)

BAM! PADDLESHIFT.

I only have one word for them... easy. Easy to install, easy to use, easy to adjust.

Longest part was modifying the plastic trim. I've still got to adjust them abit more, but they awesome!!

Put in my Whiteline front and rear swaybars this afternoon. Found an oil leak from the oil cooler I put in last week, one of the hoses was a bit loose. Hopefully I have fixed that now.

Took the car for a spin tonight up to the shops. It feels different from before a little. I might take it for a good strap in a day or two in the Hills. I also want to try out my new GoPro too.

i'd like to continue showing Russian fabrication if it is allowed to puplic such dirty cars (we have annoying dirt on all-the-road surface)

finished with exhaust parts with V-band clamps

i still run oem-like IMPUL ECU.

leks-auto(probably, you know him) runs F-con

others run stock-like nismo, impul, mines

now lookig for decision on this field, cause have lots of plans on the car. mechanical fabrication is easy with good team, but our ECU is a piece of hedache..

this affects M35's only

we already have 2001 axis with vq35de swapped on stock vq25det loom&injectors&afm&ecu (hydravlical cam's controllers are re-pinned, and they are controlled almoust correctly), this car extremely needs in ecu, mine is also waiting in bigger turbo, but we are at loss in this question... may be there is a thread in ECU replacement?

as for me, i plan to install Halteck platinum 2000 in piggy-back style, to save A/C and so on

the main problem is in AT - once it loose AFM signal, it is going to be mad, loosing plate's pression, lack of clutch in it during recievig big torque from engine - overwear in minutes.

i don't know what to do with this.

may be you have already solved, how to trick it?

Nope, we haven't got a good ecu option either. People use nismo, Impul etc stock ecus. We have cans with emanage piggy backs, we have a few FCon cars too.

I did have success with Uprev with the series 2 cars, and that can now be used to re flash for NA or Turbo applications on the vq35de.

Any cars made 1/4 mile times in Russia?

it's an awful lack of dragstrips now - so we don't have proved times at all, also our community is times smaller than yours - so legal drag is just for rich men, illegal street racing is not my choice)

i'm official in Russiam Drift Series, it is prohibited by our rules, to race on streets in any kind

we have web-site with the only legal drag group - http://www.dragtimes.ru/en/results/allresults#quarterofmile

there is one Stagea :whistling:

at the same time - our government almost prohibited to buy used cars abroad by huge taxes, so far away we will loose wonderful JDM cars at common

uprev is good for vq35 - we have one CPV35 skyline on vq25det kit with bigger turbo, it is nicely driven with LHD oem later ecu from z33, and owner tells it is ultimatively versatile and reliable, your right

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
