HAHAHA.... you guys crack me up :)

Now c'mon Steve everyone knows it's MUCH more efficent having cams that only rotate 280 out of a possible 360 degrees! The 80 degrees that's saved can be put into heating the rear tyres :D

Matt I've been holding out on you, I had a small amount of my "special fuel" left, I've been using it to get a quick buzz now and again... I've only got 1 sleep till Christmas :D

Dean, how well do you know the owner?

People that stretch the truth to that extent baffle me!? Why say/print things that are obviously false? The car looks and sounds (I've seen and heard it go past my house) to be a bloody weapon, why tarnish it with B/S?

Oh yeah... one last thing, where can I get a Tomei pushrod cam? I don't want the "Tomei overhead" RB cam's I want the pushrod ones :)

dammit wish i was there....

Dude i dont know you and i can guarantee you dont know me! Have not crashed my car! I had a guy clip my front bumper on the passenger side at North East Rd/Sudoltz Rd intersection as he turned Left. A white R33 GTR on trader plates when i chased the little shit he went up between the two lanes of traffic.

But got his Trader Plate written down and will track the guy down. The car only needed a plastic weld on the front bumper & ive done that so it hasn't really been damaged.

As for a 9-second time. I was trying to get attention for my add. Well it worked.

I will run it in the next couple or weeks and we'll c what it can do! then i'll put the time sheet up for you all to see.

I think what cheeky means is that when john talked to him, johns opinion was that the guy would crash the car.

If this is the case, i know the car and driver... and i agree with johns comments.

1).- Dean you hav'nt even seen my car yet! Or under the bonnet! Maybe you have seen me on the road but thats all. I hav'nt seen you in at the least 3 years. In the nicest possible way you don'nt know me mate.

2).- I Really don't think you are in any position to make a comment about my driving ability.

Ciao for now

ross, we both know ur car is crazy, just not a 9 sec car. anyway its fine to advertise whatever, as u r rite, it does get peoples attention.

also in regards to the crash thingy, i asked if it was u, cos u r the only person that i know of who has a r34 gtr in silver.

thirdly u r rite, i really shouldnt say anythin about ur driving ability, so sorry about that. But why would u say u think u will crash it? Cos its so powerful?? I just remember the good ol days, u used to cain the shit out of that nimbus or whatever it was.... Anyway hope that cleared things up. Ill see u around, prolly on cruises or something.

Cya mate

Hmmm... I don't know Ross (COPY ME) I can certainly see your point of getting exposure from catchy advertising, kind of like putting - "SEX!!! - now that I've got your attention" and your dead right, it did indeed work, BUT......

IMHO putting " this car has run 9.89sec at AIR" etc... could easily backfire, as potential buyers may be a little suspect of the rest of the cars info... i.e engine internals, type of cams, turbos and so on... I'd say it's probably best to let the car sell based on factual information. Either way mate, it certainly is a damn fine looking R34 GT-R! If I was you I wouldn't even sell it! Let us know how you go at AIR? The next meet is on the 2nd of May.

Dude, if you blatantly lie about something, what makes you think people are going to believe anything else that you have to say? I agree with whatsisname, it could be a Datsun 1600 with a flare kit that you are trying to sell...

If someone is going to spend over 130k on a car, that is advertised as having run 9 seconds - well, I would run a mile in the other direction if I found out the seller was pulling my chain. Credibility, in a world full of bullsh1t, is very important - and used car sales, be it private or business isnt exactly renouned for being 100% above board.

False advertising is illegal in the retail sector for a reason. I wonder if someone did buy it, then found out it wasnt a 9 second car, would they have legal recourse? After all, you did put it in writing.

From the looks, the car is nice enough to sell itself without any unfactual embelishment.

Going overseas for atleast 3-months thats why its up for sale, going to take a huge loss on it. Which sucks but i couldn't get insurance on it in storage and there is no one that you can trust a car that is doing 400++ at the wheels. But i want a R34 GTR V-SPEC II Nur when i get back to nut out again. Half the fun is building the car up. Your point is true though man. but we'll see what it can do soon enough @ 1.5bar, Just praying something doen't smash or sheer in the drive train.

Ciao for now.....

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
