hey dudes, i am a bit of a lurker around here, so i thought i better put up my own car. i apologise in advance for some of the photo's. some are good. some not so much. well actually if we are being honest im have 4 weeks off work due to injury and am crazy bored haha.

i am coming up on 2 years off ownership next month. when i first got it :

i just fiddle for the first months and loved the shit out of driving it

then i did a drift day :

loved it. car was awesome and i didnt break anything.

by this point, i'd put 14/12kg springs and lowered it and all that jazzz, i had a fun day but the car sorta lost that feel that it had. oh yeah i also did this

spun on the entry, and as you can see went backwards in the wall. its kinda hard to explain the damage, but basically the wheel caught on the wall snapping the lca and doing a number on the front corner.

fast forward a long long long 12 months and it got a new turbo and 25 box and some other basics

had the best time, wasnt without issue though, broke a drive shaft on the drive to the start line in the morning missing the whole morning session waiting for a mate to bring out a replacement. but after that it was on

i dont have any photos of the this, but basically the night before i decided i want to have a crack! changed nothing at all, so still not front sway bar and mismatched 2ndhandies on the back. i had a fair bit of fun and ended up with a 67 flat around there. we didnt get a whole lot of laps which was a bit shit in the end.

around this time i changed the vskf's for a all time favourite wheel of mine

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
