wait till you decide to take the starter motor out.......if it's anything like the BNR32 its a BITTTTCCCCCHHH!

surprising, when removing my gearbox i didn't have any problems with it, my mates r33 doesn't have one of the bolt in cause he had problems, I managed to get it off and on with no problems maybe 5 - 10 mins each way

flathead screwdriver smashed through the filter with a hammer. WIN

there is seriously not enough room to even try that, I had a cut down screw driver i Just couldnt get in

this is all you should need

1x 10mm socket

1x extension

1x rachet

1x oil filter socket

I should have put one of the K and N filters with the nut on the end!

Also couldn't do my diff oil, seems at night I didn't check which out of the 3 containers all 2.5 litres i picked up, I put the diff oil in the gearbox! hence why it was so smooth, gears change are beautiful, and car took a complete flogging from the weekend when I competed in the 2013 REJEX Rally which was great, down side is I need 4 new tyres :(

What about plasti-dip?

Finally finished off my trip strips

And fixed my boost gauge with teflon tape (no pics tho)

Might also fix the split cv boots soon, and give it a service with synx-6000 :D

Did the same thing to my body mould chrome strips a couple of months back, my car is white with black rims also.

The faux chrome in my body moulds has been patchy and rough since I bought the car.

I bodge jobbed the black out though, I have used insulation tape trimmed to fit as I wasnt sure if I would like it and wanted an easy undo.

Once the first bit of tape peels back at an edge I'll look into this plasti dip bandwagon.

Just resprayed my grille black again this week as stone chips were making the chrome poke back out...

Only chrome left now is the tail light in-fills but I think they can stay.

Ill get some photos when I get it out tomorrow.

Well im now the proud owner of an RS4 factory manual and very happy.

time to start the big clean up before i get down to making it how i like it.

better look after is as it has a confirmed 74000km on the clock and almost no mods appart from a dump back exhaust and cheap mags.

front needs some love, fading lights with condensation annoys the absolute hell out of me, almost as much as having a dirty windscreen.

got the elbow grease out and threw in some 6000k philips xennons. gonna start replacing everything with LEDs as per usual. love the led look.

still undecided as for what to do with the yellow foggies.....more pondering needed.

so much better looking when they're actually clear.

the interior needs a damn good clean, got a good upholstery cleaner and tackeled the passenger seat, it is a real shame that people dont keep ontop of this shit. oh well. more elbow grease has been employed.

I feel your pain about the interior my 260rs was a kiddy car and had s#*t all through the back seat when I got it,gave it a good steem clean now looks new again. Wow good job on the head lights that's a huge diffrence! And last but not least nice ride

I finally figured out how to remove the cargo blind. Ph34r my detective skills.

Yes, I also found out where to store it under the boot floor. This car is brilliant.

I started installing my front mount yesterday. didnt have to cut the reo to much so im happy about that. its an r33 turn flow and nearly bolted straight up so was pretty easy

first spin i took it for i forgot to tighten one of the pipes so car kept stalling and limped it back home, works all good now just have to cut the front bar and splash trays to fit.

also looks like it has hit a tow ball or something. :O

My car has a similar problem (seats look like your driver side). Interested in what cleaner you used?

I've some cheaper generic fabric cleaners i've used for my couch by seem painful to work in and clean...

Hire a steam cleaner from woolworths.

Have done this every time I have bought a new (used) car. It will blow your mind how much dirt comes out of even a 3 year old car.

Eg. This was from a the seats of a 2009 model car. attachicon.gifImageUploadedByTapatalk1376287937.297508.jpg

+1 I even use the same Steam cleaner haha

Fitted a jjr front mount kit to the c34. Ended up cutting the end of tr rails rather then then reo. Really didn't want to do it but hey... Also had to remove the ac can as its massive! If I have problems I will get a slim fan to replace it.

Then fitted a stainless jj bell mouth dump pipe along with a high flow cat. Much less drone with the cat (gutted one before)

Next up is a muffler and 3inch for the test of the system to some twin pipes. Then nistune!

Agreed on woolworths cleaners. Did the same for my stag and the wife's 100. You also find many things under the carpet like $20 and a bottle of vodka haha

What would happen if I was to remove the dvd navi permanently from the circuit. Eg thinking of relocating headunit here.

and hand would pop out from behind the dash and bi*ch slap you!

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
