:Oops: Yep, Cairns to Canberra in three days (3000 Klms) and only two speeding tickets. must not be trying hard enough. One was an almost fair cop, you know the usual, hiding in the undergrowth at the bottom of a long downhill run on a dual lane divided motorway. Both in the wonderful state of depression, sorry, NSW. Just on a side note, aren't the police cars pretty when they turn on all the lights. Ah well just a bit more for the Bob Carr re-election fund I suppose.

Cheers

im sure there is more than 1 in oz.. coz i got one too... and im definaely sure that there are more hiding out there

Thanks ed R34,

That was a tongue in cheek thing. It's good to know that there are some more R34's out there although on the trip between Cairns and Canberra, I only saw one R33 just south of Mackay and one R32 just near Maitland. Must all hang around the cities.

It was a great trip only spoiled by the boys in blue. I have often heard it said on this forum, that once you have driven a skyline most other cars in the same price category are found wanting. I would now have to agree. Turbo cars sure put the fun back into driving. After a lengthy recent diet of NA 4 cyls, the Skyline is a bloody great drive.

:cheers:

    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
