A few Questions

Just thought I'd post a few questions that have popped into my head in recent days.

Firstly

1.) What type of petrol should I use for my N/A? Premium? Optimax? Normal Unleaded? (in case it's not in the FAQ)

2.) What's the stock sound system like in R34's? All mine has so far is a CD stacker. I'm wondering if I'll just need to add an amp, a headunit and subs, or whether I'll also have to install new speakers.

3.) What do you look for when looking for wheels for your car? I hear alot of people asking about Offset etc. but have no idea what that's about. I wanna get 17 or 18's for my R34 at the end of the year, preferably in a style similar to P1 Buddy II's (Gunmetal or White). I don't know which rims are compatible tho!

4.) Where can I get dials for the middle dash like R34 GTT's have? My car has nothing above the airconditioner, but I'd like a few dials there! Is it easy to get the same type as in GTT's or would it be better to buy some from a third party company. Also are those dials even necessary? From pictures I've seen, I thought those dials told you things such as your oil levels, so I'm wondering where my oil levels will be displayed?

Please answer as many as possible :)

Cheers guys!

Your oil pressure is on the speedo...to fit the GTt cluster you need to do a bit of messing around as we've got a moulded dash, where the GTts have a cut-out in that position.

BTW those dials aren't really necessary for N/A as one of them is a boost gauge, mainly just there for wank factor.

Stock sound system is not that great...get an amp, sub and splits to start with.

Use the best fuel you can afford, I wouldn't recommend anything less than premium!

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      R33 GTST Axles

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
