Hi All,

I have recently purchased a 99 Skyline R34 GTT from Victoria (I am in NSW) and have a few questions.

I did some searching but couldn't get any definite answers.

* I got knocked back for Blue Slip which my brother has mentioned should be fine as long as we engineer the front mount and full through exhaust

- I am not sure exactly what the engineer certificate will do for me? Will this make it OK to blue slip or will I still have problems?

- If I get a mod added to the car later do i then need to re-engineer that component and go back to the RTA or just engineer?

- If i put a new set of RIMs on it (which are larger then they currently have) does this require an engineer cert?

* How low can i have the vehicle?

* My battery sits in the engine bay where my brothers R33 is in his boot, is there a benefit having it in the boot/engine bay?

* There was a lot of discussion on whether there it is better to run Full Synth of Half Synth Oil in the car.

- What is better and i don't care about one costing more then the other?

As you can see i have minimal knowledge about cars and any information would be great.

Hey mate, your easiest way is to take the front mount off and put a standard side mount on as well as a stock exhaust, get the blue slip and then put it all back on after a couple weeks of getting the blue slip, where abouts are you located i think i may help you, as for oil, from my experiance for a turbo vehicle its allways better to get full synthetic oil, how much larger are the rims? and what tyres? it depends on how much bigger your going, tell me both tyre sizes and ill run them throught my tyre calculator and if it turns out ok you dont need a engineers cert, only reason youd want a engineers cetificate for your wheels, front mount and exhaust is to get the police off your back, but now days engineers certificated dont really do as much when it comes to getting defected, let me know how you go, take care.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I am really happy with the current front mount and exhaust which is why i don't want to change it if possible. I am located in Western Sydney (Silverdale/Penrith area). I would love help if available.

I am not sure what size RIMs i would put on which is more why i asked the question.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
