This is a friend of mine. The car is in Rockhampton, which is 650klms NORTH of Brisbane.

You can see pics at www.garagespank.com under members.

Oh and Hi Dev :wassup:

...and you can't have the Speedo or Shoft-shift as I have every intention of stealing them when he is not looking :)

We don't know what's wrong with the turbos, the car runs fine, just no boost. No spooling no nothing, just a big fat over fuelling NA gtr. Have had a look at one of the turbos that was replaced to "fix the problem" and it looked fine...

So you've already replaced the turbo/s once and it's still the same? Doesn't sound like a turbo issue then does it?????

10 Points for Marlin. Originally Dev was told the 'turbs had spat the exhaust wheel, but it was most definately there when the turbo was pulled out.

I still say it's some dodgy $3.50 part causing a massive leak somewhere :wassup:

They are adjustable and have been tightened but when on the road you can't even hear it spool, it's like the turbos are seized but once out of the car they are fine. Just going by what I remember, I haven't been up north in ages...

Either way, who wants a bargain.

Just to clear some stuff up. I took said car to a mechanic here in rocky. He had it for two days told me the front turbo had spun an exhaust wheel. Which did make sense. Said mechanic ,which will remain unnamed reluctantly, took three weeks to call me and say he couldn't find a turbo here in oz. Next day i show up with turbo, second hand, Another week passes I got dirty. When got the car back it was all sweet but unfortunatly the oil feed lines to the turbos where not put on properly the turbos were starved of oil, possiblly.

The mechanic was some what reluctant to give me back my old 'broken' turbo turns out there is nothing wrong with it so the problem must have been with the rear turbo. It is hard to part with the car like this but I can't afford to get it fixed and pay for a house at the same time. That is the only reason I am selling it so cheap.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • 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
