well I am a little bored, I pulled apart the spray gun I was going to use and gave it a good clean, ended up getting a good fan from it, but the spray is interrupted every 8-9 seconds though, maybe running too much pressure, today will see me service the hoist jack, can't wait :mellow:.

But there aint much to do until the body parts arrive i have been told that is tuesday.

Hi all,

can't find much on here about it, but I had a look at Enkei's fitment guide and they are saying a 19x10 +35 is best fit for an R34 GTR, I was looking to stuff a 20x10+35 in there, with a 275/30/R20.

Can anyone see a problem with this?

The rolling diameter of my stocks with 265/35R18's RE01's will be just over 3%, so no real matter philosophically there for me, I think the std ratios are a little short anyway. will have copy z-tune guards and lowered adjustable suspension and bushes to reduce cambers and help keep more tyre on the road.

these are the ones I am looking at;

20x10+35 Should fit fine, hell even go a bit lower on the offset I'd say to get it a bit flusher, I'm sure people will agree with me.

First style you posted looks the best, have you looked at CR KAIs or something similar? not sure if they come in 20s but look nice XD9 and XT7 will look nice as well. Then there is the Volk path but $$$$ for GTR sizes TE37s, GT-Cs etc would look tops.

Oh and just FYI - I run 18x10 +15 on my r33 GTR (would have gone bigger but that was the largest they make) and r33 GTR guards are a tiny bit smaller then R34 GTR ones I think. Heres a quick pic of mine:

certainly had the car for a while, must have been one of the first 34 R's in the country back in '02 :)

nice to see it's getting a freshen up :)

It was complied in Victoria too. But generally good to know it has been in Oz for all of that time, makes an estimation of the actual km's traveled a lot easier.

I saw an article of a White R34 GTR v's a GTS Monaro, that was way back when they first came out, always had a sneaky suspicion it was this one :thumbsup:

Would be interesting to know for sure.

Well here it is!

The first unexpected problem >_<

The sump where it joins up with the front diff is cracked.

Darren thinks it was a factory repair that created a weak spot, as the original Nissan silastic was still on the sump.

I did remember the Beer Baron had a 34 sump with a diff fitted, but from chatting with him on Friday, he has disappeared since.

So if anyone out there has a R34 sump with the original diff fitted, I am interested to buy!!

My diff is in good shape, but the cost of fitting and a sump is more than we can get the whole unit second hand. Currently waiting on three people to get back to me from around Australia and the world, so please anyone else, get in touch?

Would like to put this to bed within a week.

Thanks Leigh,

Pretty hard to find the Volks in 20's.

Looks like the Enkei's might have to do!

I take it you will be sourcing a set of Xenons for it aswell, instead of the halogen headlights in it now??

Nice build!

Hi Granthem,

It does have Xennon lights currently, but they have been doctored in there, so I found out the other day, the fittings are dubious to say the least!

I guess it wouldn't hurt top put it out there to see if anyone has any Xennon loom clips to solder in from a wrecked vehicle.

UNfortunately the headlights are getting some plastic welding done to them currently. Can't really do too much with the body until they come back.

Definitely be looking for 18x10.5 or more if you want flush. The new TE37SL come in 18x11's. They would do perfectly I think..

Looking to drop the hammer on some of the Enkei GTC01's 20x11+18, they will weigh a tonne, but will put some R compounds on the stocks for track days. They will be dressed in Falken F452 275/30/R20's. the tyres in US are soooo cheap!!

Good price.

Whats wrong with the splitter too? The narrower splitter I believe is designed to work with the Rtune bonnet, which pulls cool air from under the car, past the back of the radiator and out the bonnet vents with the hot radiator exhaust air.

That is interesting, I thought the point of the R-Tune bonnet was to pull more air through the FMIC and radiator, could be wrong though. The guards are internally vented to pull hot air from the engine, so that will help the bay stay cooler.

The splitter was too narrow for the bumper, this isn't related to the length, there is a user on here with a top secret splitter available, I have PM'd him, but failing that I will fix the one I have I guess.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
