soooo i couldn't help myself, and felt i needed to add my own touch to the car.

Midori and the previous owner had already made something very special, and mechanically/performance wise, there really wasn't much else to do! hahaha (well, short of getting a RIPS RB30 or something crazy like that) - I did change ECU's and get the Flex-Fuel going thanks to Trent @ Chequered Tuning, but we only changed the ECU as we couldn't talk to the one in there unfortunately. So, running at 400rwkw on E85, and having more handling performance than i can currently even being to explore due to lack of skills, i moved to the exterior...

And really, could it be anything else? :D

- Nismo R-Tune bonnet

- Nismo Z-Tune front bumper

- Nismo Z-Tune front guards

- Craft Sqaure TCA-F Carbon mirrors

- Nismo LMGT4 18 x 10.5 +15 w/Advan Neova AD08 tyres

(yes, genuine Nismo items)

The parts have been on for a while, but whilst Matt was selling his car, i thought i'd keep it quiet so as not to reduce the uniqueness of his beautiful 34 whilst selling - aaaaand then it took a while to get around to taking pictures :)

Paint is off the gun (by DT Panels), nothing else has been touched after painting (as per my request), wet sand and polishing action to come, at the moment it's just a washed car a few days prior to the pics (don't even think there is really any wax left either). Hasn't been detailed in a while.

Anyways, hope you get as much enjoyment looking at the pics as i do :)

cheers,

daniel

hahhaha, she does get a bit of attention

paint is WV2 - i might be biased, but i'm thinking i'd almost would choose WV2 over KV0 (Ztune) - i think the slightly darker shade is a bit more fitting the aggressive look, especially with black rims.

thanks for the comments everyone :)

lol @ Hamish, i thought Matt's car was still in Melbourne, still competition getting around :thumbsup:

Yeah Jamie, all those other body parts have been moved on, had to go genuine Nismo really... wouldn't have seemed right otherwise :D

It's the only way Dan!

I would have done the same, if owning a R34 GTR.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
