could see that comment coming a mile away lol, its stainless steel.

its also a reputable brand.

stainless is brittle as hell tho... thats why they only use it for display swords... live blades only run HRC60-65 steel ;\

Maybe its metal fatigue? stainless is cool to bling stuff up but if its the undercarriage who cares what it looks like?

mines scraped to buggery in either case

-D

My justjap 3" bellmouth dump-front pipe is going strong 5yrs down the track. Great value for money.

As for short split dumps, I'm running Hks split dumps on the rb26 engine. Hasn't been tuned & driven in anger (yet) so I can't comment on pros/cons in this instance as yet.

It's been covered in the defect thread before .. I have an old copy of the stats here - pretty sure it's still accurate for R34:

Thanks for that- I had a search and couldnt find anything- the best i got was a PDF say legal requirements but nothing specific to r34. And yes I know that any cheek they will defect ya---this is a case of a 34 having it's coilovers put back in after an inspection and the owner wants to bump them up to the correct ride height as they are well below it currently--just to take some of the attention away.

Also JRM I noticed you has commented in a thread about mfd installation to gtt-I'm

Asuming u did this to yours? Did u have the tv button on yours? I'm in the middle of putting that into mine at the moment-not to keen on soldering the pins on the board to disable the Japanese message- :/

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to raise mine since the 18" have gone on. The factory 17" it was sitting *just* on the lowest legal, with the LMGT4's it's down to 335/340 I seem to recall. I only had them on for a week before the car was in for repairs, and I haven't seen it since, though.

Yup, I have an MFD in my GTT. Mine came with the TV button on it, yeah - I've never actually used it though, I have a 7" in-dash touchscreen for my car-pc, so it probably changes things..

Ah fair enough- mines not from a vspec2 so it doesn't have the button- so far the button is added-in the middle of inserting RCA plug and solderin it in and disabling the jap message-- there's not a lot of room for error in there. I have touchscreen DVD player and nav and what not- but figured I would try make use of the function being there--reverse cam/DVD/ whatever i send to it.. Did u get exhaust and intake sensors wired up? I wired my intake to AMB sensor just to give the reading rather than display a 0 reading. Accidentally wired exhaust to AMB first and it was reading between 570 degrees to 610 degrees whereas the intake displays etwren 0-15 depending what the temp it outside--the mfd must use the signal differently as the same signal gives two readings.. Interested in purchasing the two sensors and adding them on also. I hear they aren't cheap!!

Ive got a bellmouth but it cracks on the flange every year or so, luckilly my next door neighbour is a professional welder at ASC :D

Was it your neighbbour that fixed it last year? It should last longer than that if he worked at ASC :laugh:

I didn't use the ambient sensor for intercoler temperature, as it made my air-conditioning unit play up (it has an ambient display temperature anyway). I have since purchased the sensor, but I haven't gotten around to fitting it mainly because there's no-where factory to put it and I need to talk to someone with the 'skillz' to figure out a place to put it.

With regards the exhaust temperature sensor - I'd love to fit it - but at $300-400, it's a difficult thing to justify for me...

Edit: Keep eyeing off this thread about NACA ducts in the bonnet like the R34 VS2 .. whilst the car is in the repair shop is definitely the right time to do it ..

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
