nothing special. pics are of shite quality as they were taken with my handycam.

stock under the bonnet (just the way I like it). it's a 1989 model.

landed in sydney wednesday last week. saw it at mate's workshop. i had to have it. bought it by saturday. woohoo. will get some good pics of it looking all schmick soonish.

definitely needs some nice large white rims. GTS2 rims would look cool but not gonna find a set of em anywhere soon. anyway i'll open up the wallet for this baby later on down the track. keep ya posted :D

G'day Mark.

I checked out the car last week.....very noice indeed. Schweeeeet! I got a little excited actually and there's a bit of a clean-up job to do on the right-front guard. :Oops:

I reckon forget about the rims-if you're on a budget like me then you'll spend every cent on things that make the car go faster (and beer of course). Bigger rims will do bugger all for performance (often worse) and tyres will be harder to find and more expensive.

Besides, I reckon the rims that are on it look great!

Cheers,

Ben

PS: Great day on Saturday!

The nice people at Rays (and Enkei, et al) have solved this problem by producing forged monoblocks. No you can not only bling your car with some nice phat wheels, but they slash unsprung weight while increase your contact patch :(

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
