Hey guys,

I've recently moved across to Melbourne from Perth and I was wondering if there is a R34 GTR club in Melbourne on facebook or on here that I could contact other members on.

I've noticed quite a few more imports over this way and I've also been made aware of how strict this place is so I've got a few questions to ask if anyone has the time to help out.

I know Racepace is meant to be one of the best skyline specialists for mods / repairs ect unless there's someone better out there that I am not aware of....

Also I've noticed car theft is HUGE here so aside from a car alarm, does anyone else have a GPS tracker in their cars?

Any info would be great!

Cheers all,

Ben

There is a Skylines scene, not sure where you could possibly go to get details however.....

As for theft, where do you live? Some areas are bad for it, some areas it's non-existent.

The best protection against car theft is a good insurance policy. If a tea leaf wants your car bad enough, ain't nothing you are going to be able to do to stop him from taking it.

Oh, and welcome to Melbourne. Be sure to leave your west side shoulder chip at the door ;)

Hi Ben,

My partner just made that move with her Skyline and knows how you feel :)

I have a GPS tracker in my car but I concur with the above, if some flog wants your stuff you can't do shit about it...get a good insurance policy and the rest is auxillary protection. Cars are getting stolen from locked up basement carparks these days and towed away with flat beds. It's sad but that's the world we live in. Some 34 owners even enlist the help of security guards ;)

Keep an eye on events section and check out SAU Vic, the paid membership club, as they do some motorsport and social events you might like.

Not sure about 34R specific clubs but could be one around, heavily guarded of course.

Cheers for the info guys. I don't carry the WA chip your referring to so that's fine. There are a few pros and cons in both states so I'm taking the good with the bad.

My car has a car alarm and gps tracker and insured through just car with an agreed value so if someone takes it then so be it. It's shit that there are people here that want to steal peoples pride and joy however it's like that anywhere you go.

As far as the club thing goes I am still apart of an R34 gtr club and the people there were great. Most are in the SAU community which was why i asked the question about a similar group in Vic.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
