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.....

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
