i think the closing of dream 15s thread "what have you done to c34 lately performance wise" was a bit harsh really all is saying is have a thread for performance modifications to c34s. as there is a vast diffrence between them and m35s and some ppl have specific intrests and dont want to waddle through 10 pages of cruise control and light and stereo modifications to pick out points of performance issues of intrests. if you want it could be named diffrently to aviod confusion anf havr the stagea performance mods thread . end rant flame suit on

Dear Santa, I think it would be easier for both C34 and M35 to have seperate threads. It seems both parties have concerns. I've read that some M35 owners see us (the C34'ers) as doing the same stuf

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Back in the 80's we integrated kids with wheelchairs and other physical disabilities into our school. I think it is the duty of C34 owners to make M35 ow

Frankly, I don't see the need to go back to C34 vs M35 arguments.

I'll play devils advocate for a minute;

If you want to be like that; the C34 mod thread could easily be titled "Stuff that people have done 11ty billion times on r33 and R34 Skylines, but my point of difference is a hatch on the back of my car..." :rolleyes:

*Note*; Not my actual opinion; just a hypothetical point of view.

If it's sooo painful to read through pages of "10 pages of cruise control and light and stereo modifications to pick out points of performance issues of interests" why don't you perform a mod that hasn't yet been done on an R33/34 Skyline...

It's just a stupid, divisive argument. We are all in this together. For every 500hp build; there's 10 guys fitting Sumitomo calipers or rewiring their HID's.

Appreciate all the little mods, along with the major upgrades that go with either car, rather than whinging because everyone isn't playing with the same toy you are.:thumbsup:

Was just trying to start a thread with a few more interesting things mainly focusing on the performance (engine mods, handling, braking, etc) because for some people it does get a bit boring sifting through pages of the same old crap. Seeing as there are alot of modded C34's it would be nice to focus on them for a change if light bulbs and audi's are what the M35 boys are going to take over the other thread with.

Well crack on with your mods mate; no one is stopping you. Maybe even start a Build Thread.

It's not about anyone taking over a thread; it's a pretty true barometer for who is doing what with their cars at any given time.:whistling:

Looking forward to seeing your innovative, mega dollar build; filled with never before seen mods, with no boring bits.:thumbsup:

I think you mean "hear, hear" Scott.

I don't really care if there is a C34 and M35 thread, but if it was to be divided, why stop at that?

I mean C34 = done before on an R33/R34 Skyline

M35 = not done before 'cause it is an orphan

PM35 = done before on a Z33/V35

Honestly, is it that bad to wade through or take a look at what the "other side" is doing?

Never know, might see something you like :)

Gotta love irony!

The thread was closed by Nick, who owns a C34!

Why not just use the search function built into the site or use Google search query site:skylinesaustralia.com followed by what you're looking for.

Always works for me.

I'd like a "What have you done to your Black NM35 with most of an Aero kit, some painted V35 rims and a partially installed reverse camera today" thread.

ZOMG; it's gonna be AWESOMEZ!:banana: :banana: :banana:

That's right; THREE DANCING BANANAS!!! SOOO BADASS!

Well i would have continued on with it if a certain someone didnt close the thread.

And who said anything about a mega dollar build? Why would i pay someone else to work on my car when i can do it myself and cut half the cost, considering labour is where most of everyones money goes lol.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
