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.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
