I think the angle of the photo is misleading, from memory the tapped hole is the same depth as the captive nut. We drilled into the rail itself, so the tapped hole does have a good 15mm of thread.

Point noted though, I will double check. The car is off the road at the moment, so I will pull one of the seats out and double check how it was done.

Fair enough, sometimes pics don't tell the full story, and I don't doubt you would be looking for the proper solution. :thumbsup:

I'll stop stinking up Matt's build thread now.

Hmm well i have been offline for a long time and this thread is seriously lacking updates, there have been very few things happening as i have been busy with buying a house, renovating an old house and a nice old week in hospital in the middle of it all just for good measure! Ill do my best to get back up to speed with updates once i get some time!

I have had HEAPS of PM's while i have been offline and i hope i answered them all... If not, hit me up with questions :D

I have NOT fitted the seats, i will continue to work that out once i relocate! The new house has a nice new shed for the 34 to live in so it will have plenty of updates on a regular basis once we are in there, for now i am just flat out!

Just incase any of you forgot how sexy the HTA is, here is a reminder lol -

A few people have asked what tyres i will be running, i am still on the el cheapo RSR for now, so now Carmen has made it so people will know :P -

These tyres will be flipped on the rims as they have severe camber and alignment wear haha

The poor thing had an oil change on the weekend as it was way overdue as its well past the 3mth change, i have now gone to the purple side!

I got the GKTECH offer via email so couldnt resist grabbing one of their fans to try out, mine is the original and has some small cracks so if no improvement at least i know its a fresh fan and being black it will fit the whole theme anyway -

Dat Radiator stands out. You should pull the engine out, pain the bay black and the radiator black...... Stealth like :ph34r:... apart from that turbo LOL

Looks amazing though nice job!

Edit: how much of a pain is it cleaning that thing?

Lol too much effort :P Turbo is stock....... Officer! :ph34r:

Cleaning? I dont clean it haha.... It just gets a wipe over when i finish working on it mate!

Some random videos i have since last post....

Nothing too exciting but hopefully we will have plenty of footage from SMSP on the 28th if i pull my finger out and get the car ready...

And the reason for being so busy, Carmen and I have purchased this new place together and cant wait to get in... I will slowly setup my workshop so the 34 will no longer sit neglected like it has lately.... The house is also the reason the car will not be attending the SAU Nationals this year, we were really looking forward to having a crack but unfortunately due to the timing i cannot do both, but i am certainly not complaining as the house is a priority for us and will allow me to have somewhere to get the car ready for future events -

We only need to complete the concrete and some small fence work and the place will be complete and exactly what we always wanted! Exciting stuff!

New house looks really nice mate. I think I'm about at that stage myself. Will fix the misfire, get my tune finished off and will keep working with my tuner to see if we can sort out the problem it has. Maybe some small things here and there, but other than that it's probably time to grow up and save for a house :/

Thanks mate, we have both been working VERY hard for the past 12mths and will continue to do so to get the place :D It will be so rewarding upgrading from what we have had for the past few years (Well 12mths for Carmen hehe)...

Will be good to get your beast finally sorted man! Good to see it getting there though :yes: its been a long road!

Yeah well I feel like it's closer to where I want it to be at least! And my tuner has taken an interest in it and is quite keen to see it running properly so I feel like it isn't a hopeless case haha.

Also, good stuff on converting to the purple side! :D I love the stuff. Not sure where you get yours from, but performancelub has the cheapest prices on it that I have found.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
