Hi guys,

Have had skylines for over a year and has decided to join this community and probably join some events ;)

I had R33 gts-t before, been wanting to get R34 and got my R34 last year!

Here is pic of my car:

Any thoughts what mod should I do first? Still pretty new to mods and stuff since I was really busy at work last year, and haven't had the chance to look into it.

Now that I have some free time, will start looking into it a bit more :)

Your thoughts would be much appreciated boys!

Regards,

Ryan

Welcome aboard man!

First things first...

REMOVE

THE

GTR

BADGE!!!!! :O

Besides that, I quite like the black on black.

When you say you want to mod it, what do you you want to do with the car? drags/drift/circuit/sneezey laps of george st/power/motorkhana?

Once you've established what you'd like to do with the car and how it could be better set out you're free to plan mods. Modding a car with no goal in mind is kind of pointless, unless you really like throwing money away. If that's the case throw some at me first.

The first thing you should do in it, even before you bother with mods, is come and have fun in it THIS SUNDAY, 15th of July!

badge off asap!

you first have to look at what you have, then look at what you want to do with it.

i used this guide that helped me alot.

http://nissanskyline.6te.net/tuning_GTT.htm

if its for daily/street use, speaking from experience, keep it stockish, you dont need a daily 1mm off the ground, or something thats going to break your back. and you dont need cops hounding you, keep it quiet, keep it clean.

Yeah GTR badge has been removed.

Those pics was from earlier this year. :)

As for the wing, I always loved r34 with wing, for me without the wing it looks a bit too plain.

My main goal at the moment is just to make the car feel really comfy to drive, what mod should I get for that?

Like suspension etc maybe?

It's up for swap if anyone can offer me something that can interest me or else I'm keeping the car.

Anything else to add boys? Appreciate your comments :)

sway bars to cut out body roll is awesome.

a bit more power can make it comfy, turbo back exhaust, high flow panel filter, maybe a boost controller to 10 psi?

thats all the mods i got and i love it.

that wing looks much better then no wing, but the stock wing is best for a gtt.

GTR wing is best for GTT :P

As for mods, Jarrad is on the right path... Best thing you can do is get involved with SAU events and you'll not only have fun but you'll want to keep the 34 and enjoy it ;)

Hey dude, would you happen to be asian and was on Parramatta Rd/GWH at around 9pm onwards?

Also if you take the rear wing off, I believe there will be holes on the side of the car that mounts the two vertical parts of the wing and it will look off.

is there not a new members section? the only one i can recall (where i never go) doesnt narrow it down to NSW/VIC etc, if not maybe there should be a state section.

not really a big deal though.

got to admit if it wasnt in here i wouldnt click on it :P

good luck with the mods Malchik, btw whats the story with your username?

reminds me of a character in novel or movie ive seen but i cant remember which..

Apparently there is somewhere in the non-existing universe before ours. I too was trying to find a proper intro thread that I saw in a sticky that said "New To SAU? Intro here [LINK]". When I clicked on the link it was not found. Perhaps admin should make another for forum wide and in each state, a state intro thread too.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments :)

I'm from Campsie area, but my gf lives in Fairfield so I travel from city-fairfield-Paramatta on regular basis, using hume hwy or parramatta road mostly.

Say hi if anyone see me cruising through :)

Regarding the wing, I probably gonna keep the altia one for now, since I wanted to do manual conversion for this one, and i have limited budget :P

Anyone here able to help me with information regarding manual conversion?

Been looking through the forum but couldn't find any up to date information regarding conversion.

Any feedback would be appreciated, like cost, parts needed and whether its worth it or not etc etc.

Cheers

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
