Hey,

So when I bought my car It had a few problems with it.

They are all pretty much fixed except the carpet.

The previous owner clearly couldn't be bothered with floor mats at some point and there is a hole in the carpet right about where your heel goes.

I have tried to find a place that sells new carpet for R34's and have called places in Melbourne and Sydney with no luck.

IS there a place that sells replacement carpet or should I use this for motivation to pull my carpet out, remove the sound deadening and paint the floor black?

I just spoke to a trimmer in victoria about making a pre molded set for GTT , he didnt realize so many existed in oz

I asked if they would consider molding some. Up but my car is in the wrong state lol

They make pre molded for all the older models already

the sample plush carpet he sent was very nice ( the factory carpet is crap !!! Real Black looks so much nicer)

forgot the price think it was about 300 for a coupe premolded r33 so 34 shouldnt be different

If not he sugguested selling the carpet 54 bucks a meter , think its over a meter wide so maybe 2 meters of it or less to do a coupe ? if you do boot floor too ? This is the plastic backed carpet like the real factory carpet , i want plush and can say it looked about 6-8 mm thick about the same as the factory gtr floor mats ? only tighter weave , they had 3 thickness available and various colours , some can be patterns too hmmm plaid nice haha

im checking a few other places but maybe someone in vic can drive a gtt over to get a mold made ?

That would be awesome.

Who was it that you went through for that?

sorry for slow update

Well after a mountain of phone calls etc Even overseas

I went to the manufacture in victoria for 10mm thick 1.7 metres wide black carpet , you can get it up to 16mm thick but only a metre wide and piece it together ?

Cost is about 180 with shipping (25 to ship)

But in my phone calls a place called allcarcarpets in vic said if they had the original molded carpets in just about any condition they could make the GTT or GTR mold for the R34 in a month and they had 6 mm black sample they sent me looked nice ?

The other option was wool wilton carpet from UK /US but didnt bother cause it would be a mint and shipping a killer , same stuff rolls royce uses !!

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
