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

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
