so today i received my Tarzan G Box in the mail, so it was straight down to the garage to put it in.

here is what the kit contains

unplugged the old sensor and slid the plugs off

Now that was all well and good but once trying to re fit the centre console, i bumped into my first problem..... the g sensor now sits too high ontop of the standard position. Which stops you from putting in the side screws and if pressed down too hard, pops off the coin holder compartment.

Due to time constraints, i just had to leave it for now and come back to it.

The Test Drive

During normal driving obviously there is no notice at all, its until you press down the accelerator that you really notice the change.

I brought the mrs along to have a second opinion as she loves the R to bits :P

We both confirmed straight away that acceleration has now become a lot smoother, almost so that it feels that the power has dropped back. As there is no longer the hard kick when the turbo's come on!!!

Then through corners it instills courage as the car is noticeably more planted and firm, its almost like you can feel the attessa working more and sending the power where it should be. Also you can tell how much more responsive the torque needle is (even though reading its not really accurate) when sending torque to the front.

Yes the braking feel has also been improved, there is less movement and the weight seems to transfer alot smoother also when getting on the middle pedal.

Lets just say that it put a smile on my face and has change the way the car handles, so i give it a thumbs up. Yes it is a bit pricey, but hey its what cars are about!!

Looking forward to going for my next drive already!!

I have a couple of negative opinions on the build for this car. It was a pretty clean series 3 except the bonnet at the start. You did the right thing changing it back to factory bonnet. Series 3 is probably so rare that I would expect owners to keep it full factory on the exterior and minimal change on the interior. those blue LED really shouldn't have gone in factory boost and oil temp gauge in the centre...Carbon dash and centre console is kindda ok but Id really still keep it stock unless they are really scratched up. And that front lip is really something there to just ruin the beauty of an r33. A genuine series 3 V spec front lip is more than enough to make your car look mean. With cars like GTRs looks, more is less and less is more. Last but not least, a GTR has to have big power, so save all that effort for making it a fast powerful and RELIABLE weapon. Good luck.

Interesting views, but it is up to the owner to decide what he does with his own car. If what he is doing makes him happy and its getting closer to perfect in his eyes - that's all that matters.

Some nice features on the car Raimie, keen to see the progress and end result!

Thanks for all the input guys, Wei- thanks for your input but at the end of the day your view is going to be different to someone else's. I've had ALOT of positive feedback to how the R looks now as photos don't do it justice and hey, not every is in for the clean look. The Japanese time attack/street tuning style is what I aspire to hence the lip. Let's face it how much of that BIG power can you use on the street (where mine is driven 100% of the time) and if it's making big power reliability is another thing all together, plus maintenance fee's. Bit of advice- let people build cars the way they want too, otherwise the scene would be dead and boring.

Anthony I got it through Jesse streeter.

Racepace built R34 is now under my wing

Edited by JDM33

thanks James, hope to have some new photos of the R's soon!!

:thumbsup:

mods might have to wait till the new year. though there isn't much left to do on the 34

Was that Muztek's 34?

Shame I won't see it around Vic anymore. But you've managed to get a beautiful car!

Bride's have been swapped from 33 to 34.

Trying to figure out what i want to do with the 34, performance wise i'm pretty happy, just a few things need changing/updating.

But il keeping the exterior how it is, mostly for now. Went for a cruise recently with some mates, including a 2.4LTR EVO VIII.

The light is so much brighter and clearer now!!! Gonna look killer at night. Will post better pics once i'm finished with the rear

Very nice pair of R's Raimie. Needs some led tailights too. But at 1200 bucks a set i can't justify the cost. What does the tarzan sensor in the 33 feeling like? Make it handle abit more like the 34?

Thanks mate :) nismo tail lights have been ordered, just waiting on dispatch- mofo's ain't cheap! Yeah in a way I guess, the sensor is set up to under steer a touch more. But that's only once your really pushing it, with different suspension mods it's a bit hard to compare the two but the sensor has made the 33 a lot smoother to drive and more predictable

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
