Timmy's R34 Gtt

[34GeeTeeTee]

He mentioned having trouble with the rear main, I'll line it before removing the old one and make sure it all looks right

Or just get a bigger hammer!

[timmy_89]

I'll get my matsuri hammer

[34GeeTeeTee]

I'll get my matsuri hammer

Oh shit...

I purchased one of those a while back, have used it for random jobs around the house, yet to touch the car with it

[timmy_89]

Finally got some spare time and started looking at my Defi's and trial fitting them.

I am going to attempt to leave the cups on them and get a thin bit of steel rod to put through the mounts to help with aligning them together easier, I'll post pics and let you know how it goes.

[timmy_89]

My first lot of deliveries for the week turned up.

Gearbox oil (Redline Lightweight Shockproof), all new seal kit, clutch alignment tool (which as I mentioned turns out I'll be getting with the clutch anyway haha ) and also a magnetic sump plug which I will chuck in next time I drop the engine oil.

Guess what arrived today

Also, been chatting with a guy who took photos of my car at the hill climbs and am getting a copy of them all at the end of the week. He emailed me this one shot though, caris squatting nicely

That funny round thing looks familiar

Not sure what it is, some sort of paperweight in the box

So, I finally got around to fitting the Defi's this week. I'm still to fit the sensors, but the gauges themselves are in lol.

I tapped into the IGN power, ground and illumination from the cigarette lighter and then the constant power leading to the head unit for the control unit, thinking I will velcro it into the glove box but currently it is sitting in the passenger footwell lol.

I love how easy it is to pull shit apart in R34's lol.

Someone asked earlier to post pics on how I mounted these, so here it is, I siliconed them! Haha, looks a bit sketchy but I didn't want them falling back and silicon is easy enough to get off so I figured more was best lol.

Fitted up. Not 100% perfect alignment but you can't really tell.

With headlights on.

They look great dude. I prefer them sitting behind the housing then being wedged in and sticking out, looks a lot cleaner.

No boost gauge?

[timmy_89]

No boost gauge?

Nar, I have the e-boost to check if I need to (currently sitting in the glove box).

If I get another gauge I'll probably pillar mount it and whatever the other one is (only other one I can think I'd get would be AFR but that won't be until I do a bit more engine work).

Looks smick as Tim!

You've done well Timmy...

I've still got a water temp gauge I want to hook up and have looked at AFR as well but as much as I want them in the car I dont want to go through the hassle of pillar mounting them only to get defected

Get a decent ECU and tuner and you will never need to look at the AFRs lol

And no need for a boost gauge either!

Don't you have an AFR? :3

I don't see it as a necessity just a precautionary thing.

Yep in the glovebox out of sight! It is simply there for troubleshooting if anything goes wrong.... The Haltech protects the engine so no need to watch what its doing!

[Artic Choc]

mate that looks great well done! thanks for the pics.

+1 for easy to work with r34 stuff totally agree

Very useful things to have though, they make fault finding a lot easier!
