haha go for it mate, i have no clue what you guys are talking about so some tein coil-over part numbers that would be ok to use would be nice :P lol

Can't speak for BCs in a C34, but I just got a set of HSDs for mine: spring rates differed significantly (mine are harder by about 10%) to the BC off the shelf offering, and I love it: might be a little firm for a daily driver, but dare I say better handling and more comfortable than the "Sydneykid" setup I was running before...

Just an update, cars all arrived and registered, should have updated this alot earlier. Absolutely loving the car! No problems as of yet, need to find a nice set of coil overs for her pretty soon as she needs alot more low! just re installed the HID lights due to compliance and hopefully get around to ordering my custom number plates within the next couple weeks.

went away this weekend and got a decent picture off the car, pity i didnt have my good camera on me and only had my phone.

Also im about to buy some new wheels and tyres, i test fitted a 18 inch wheel with a lower profile tyre and the speedo was out by about 10kmh, any way i can fix this ? or is it something ill have to put up with when running a smaller profile tyre ? thanks!

I was like yes, yes, yes, hmmmm ok...... NO!

Stickers.... :(

At least they are removable.

Yea im still not sure if i will keep all the stickers. Wouldn't mind just one decent looking and sized sticker along the back window but thats still something i have to find. Just can't wait till i get my new wheels!

Such a beautiful car and well looked after. So I see you haven't put the roof wrap on as yet. Whats happening with that. Im thinking of a black roof wrap. Just deciding on gloss or matt

About the roof wrap, Ive been on holidays so once i saved my pennies for the coilovers the rest went on spending money while i was away haha. So hopefully the roof wrap is only a couple weeks away! Its still happening, Dont have to worry about that :P

Out of curiosity what profile size tyres you have on it?

Cant remember of the top of my head, Ill have a look for you when i get home tomorrow :)

Quick photoshop of the wheels i have put on pre order over at WORK Japan, and also the sticker bomb roof wrap ill hopefully be picking up this weekend.

I hope the rears fit too. Might get away with it due to flares and coilovers but for reference, here is how 19x9.5 + 30 sits on an RX (they are +40 with a 10mm spacer).

If 10.5 + 23 were there, it would stick out an extra 20mm roughly

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
