Got a pic of it with 18x9s on the front? Looking to do the same with my 34 sedan but don't know if they will be a bit sunken

Here you go, excuse the dirty rims and car.

Another update:

Went into to my mechanics on Friday to get the brakes and rotors fitted. Ran into a few minor dramas, nothing serious but :)

There is a heat shield thing around the hub that needed trimming for the rotors to fit properly.

So we managed to trim that right back out of the way.

We started by fitting the rears first, simply because it was a bolt on affair.

The front mounting points on the other hand can accommodate Brembo's from factory. This is a 10mm bolt hole I believe, but the GTT rotors mounting point is larger, so it would need to be drilled out and what not. That's why we did the rears first.

Now, the following pictures are of the rear brakes only simply because my Brake Master Cylinder cannot fuel the 4 pot awesomeness that the fronts provide. I'm in need of a GTT BMC but I'm not sure what the bore size is on that one, so if anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

Now that I've rambled on... onto some pictures of the goodies :D

I can't get enough of that colour hey! looks epic I reckon....

So I decided to not be a lazy SOB and get off my ass and polish the car and tidy her up a bit last weekend. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Okay, so a few things have been happening recently so I've been a bit slow with the old updates!

I've fitted a few more goodies to the car as well.

Smoked front an side indicators

And finally my new front brakes and rotors got put on! They look a treat behind the XD9's I reckon! I haven't had a chance to test these puppies out yet unfortunately. I'll keep you all posted with how they perform

Gotta love freebies!

Thanks for reading :)

Alright so I managed to touch up a few things on the exterior. The headlights were quite bad. Last time I polished them was about 6 months ago so that was the first thing.

Left is before, as right is after about 1 pass over with the new polish.

I ended up doing about 7-8 passes either side an they look brilliant now!

Did the same with the rear fog light and reverse light. Although only 3 passes on each

Secondly, while my mate was over we tackled the rust on the wiper arms as I did a pretty poor job of spraying them before.

We spent a while sanding them down getting them prepped properly before going over them with a paint called sparkling black.

This was before

We had a go at restoring the bumper plastics too so we prepped them and coated them in black bumper restorer

Overall I'm happy I got this stuff done. Makes me appreciate my car just that little bit more now :)

I've been pondering my next move with the car lately and I've decided I'd like to price up putting a turbo motor in.

My goals for the car would be response and reliability over power as well as retaining the factory 4WD system.

Information on GT-Fours is mega hard to find let alone finding builds about them so its pretty much uncharted territory which is not good for my wallet lol

Looking at a quick run down of a few things, Ive seen a C34 4WD RB25DET NEO complete with manual box, ecu and loom for a pretty good price.

What I'm wondering is would it be a match up with my gearbox and what ECU would I use without interfering with my ABS and what not?

Well... I knew this time would come eventually... My pride and joy is up for sale for some other lucky person to enjoy. It's been a good run but it's time I moved onto something a bit different.

I've been researching the crap out of seats lately and I'm tossing up between a genuine Bride and getting it modplated or buying an ADR approved seat (Autotechnica Bride Look-a-like) and using that. The stock seats dont really bother me too much comfort wise but I slide around in them when I go through some twisties which gets annoying.

Fixed the seat problem by putting in a pair of Recaro Sr3's

I've got 18x10's on the rear now and 18x9 +20's on the front. Still looks good but it doesnt have as much dish.

That would look good! I would want to go genuine though if I did go down that path

Went a full genuine R34 gtr front end as well so the 18x10+18 will sit nicely with 265's all round

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
