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!

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
