yep I have photos of it - I wish I could make a mould ..... mind you, I might be selling my car soon(ish) .... thinking of getting an R34 GTT - I am so sick of the little luxuries my car doesn't have, like climate control, remote boot release, traction control. Don't flame me, but I am seriously considering tiptronic auto (which I would get strenthened and add a high-stall to, of course).
That's it, join the RB side of the force, leave your SR behind... :rofl:

talking about r34gtt. Have you by any chance looked at the silver one with eh 19" chromies on main north rd, andrew? If its still there. Wheel probabrly aint your taste but Im sure its triptronic. Dont know bout its condition etc but looks immaculate when i see it as i drive pass.

Andrew mate, I think you'll find the GT-T missing half of those features that you are after.... I'm not 100% sure, but I dont think it has remote boot release or cruisey... The GT-T isnt a huge step up from an S15 from what I've seen, but I like the NEO engine and the relatively big rear passenger room!

u can get climate control from the jap spec S15.

and lots of alarm system will provide remote boot release on extra cost.

but auto GTT is not a bad choice :D

nah Chapman, in order to fit climate to an S15 you need around $1k worth of bits and pieces and roughly another $1k for labour. You need to fit an entire new wiring loom and fit several stepper motors and various other components. A guy from Vic did it a year ago and I looked at his websie on how to do it. It is an extremely difficult and expensive operation!

My other main issue with my S15 is that I can't get much of the power to the gorund without breaking traction - so traction control would be awesome.

Oh, and the whole twin plate clutch exercise I hate, as it is now a pain to drive in any sort of traffic (which I do all day).

I still love my S15 though, and if I am to part with it, it will be an extremely difficult decision.

I'm not sure if the traction control will make it launch or grip better for straightline speed, esp if it just cuts power all together. Might have to borrow a mates GT-T to test the effectiveness of the traction control! Hahaha....

if you could that would be great Leo. I assume it is a quite intelligent system, where most aftermarket traction control units cuts power to only 1 or 2 cylinders until traction is regained, then full power is applied again - this is usually not to the detriment of launch whatsoever. Maybe Cell could advise?

Yeah Duc, from what I can gather traction control is standard on R34GTTs. Yeah the twin plate sucks ass - it is great (in that it handles the power awesomely), but is almost impossible to get a decent launch (I get about 1 in 10 good launches), and if you are not concentrating 100% all the time you stall it like a biatch.

yep, on many occasions, and it is damn embarrassing.

On the upside, the funniest thing is doing in front of mates who give me a hard time about it, but then making them drive my car and laughing at them stalling it 5+ times just trying to get the car moving (I'm not going to mention any names, but they are off these forums). :D

The 'take up' of the clutch from disengaged to fullly engaged is approx 2-3cm, and is almost impossible to feel with your foot. Note this is the 2nd one of this clutch, as the first one was this bad so I took it back to Adelaide Clutch and they replaced it for me. This current clutch was not too bad for about 1,000km then became the monster it now is - identical to the 'faulty' one they replaced last time. I give up. :stupid:

the name diggity springs to mind lol

Nah, I'm pretty sure he only stalled it 4 times in a row and got it going on the fifth!!!

Traction control sucks ass Andrew, at least the Holden version does anyway.

First thing I do for any "spirited" driving is turn the bastard off. About the only time I leave it on is when it's wet.

Biggest problem is that it is too intrusive. The Holden version pulls timing and applies the brakes to the slipping wheel - works off the ABS sensors.

What you want is LAUNCH CONTROL - apparently a good system is made by a mob called racelogic, but it runs at like 3k. You can dial in the amount of slip to allow, and then dump clutches and it does the rest.

Here's an Autospeed review and their website is here.

Will, how do you launch your car? My old man recently got a ls1 statesman and i was figuring out how to launch the thing but i not good at it - auto trans obviously.
I'm sure Will has more intricate technique, but to get you started... left foot on the brake, get the revs up on the stall converter and bounce it a bit, then when you're ready, let go of the stop peddle and slam down the go peddle! :rofl: Ah the joys of Commo driving!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
