Can be a bit more complex if you've got bundled services... eg your phone and mobile and foxtel etc with them as well but you just want a different ISP.

I've learnt never ever let an automated system, especially Telstra's Siebel, try to work out how to unbundle your products and discounts in the most cost effective manner... And good luck getting them to refund the difference of what it COULD have been bundled as if it was done efficiently.

That's the plane I took to Canberra last visit, fkin awful turbulence on it in non turbulent conditions. I researched the plane model before I boarded and, as it turns out, one of them has crashed every 6 months for the last decade...and it had been about 7 months since the last crash, so I was a tad nervous. But here we are again.

Shit that's pretty decent!

Does fall over up top a tiny bit tho as suspected... could do with some cams as there is AMPLE response to lose

Torque is very impressive, for the money he spent on the engine though to only achieve 330kw I'd be pretty disappointed :P I'm almost doing that on -7s and E85 with stock injectors on 15psi...

pretty sure i saw that earlier today advertised for under 60.... value for R34GTR? maybe. value for overall car? fark no. worthy investment? maybe. sell off 2.8, whack a working stock in there, get full detail and probably walk away with a bit of money in pocket.

Agreed.

Yeah but when it's already making that kind of power in the midrange, just means you can change gears early as fk lol

So what's it worth? Just curious always loved 34s but haven't paid any attention to em for agessss

Prolly not far off the mark pending condition. I almost shelled out for one that was full of HKS goodies and a z tune body kit, that was about 55k and went for just shy of it.

Average 34Rs go for 35-40 the good ones seem to sell around 50-60 depending what gear they have.

If you got that one for 50-55 it would be a good buy assuming everything is mechanically and structurally sound. Still think 34s are overpriced as shit though, that or 33s are underpriced, but likely the former.

I'm a fanboy of these:

But getting rarer and rarer to find. Would probably do a half assed restoration. Bolt on flares, big wheels, efi V8. All the oldies would be disgusted

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
