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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
