To me they go crazy, full boost is as 4k rpm, they are running just past 17psi. Engine isn't built but does have cams - it also helps that Racepace has been servicing it since it was imported (2008).

Well today was first time I took it to red line, safe to say legs were shaking for hours later because of the adrenalin haha.

One thing im trying to figure out is the space between the window seal (think thats where the window deflector goes?) there is a gap is that normal and safe if its raining? Been trying to search the forums with no luck

Yea when i picked up the car from Racepace it has potential to do a lot more, just needs a tune. But think this is plenty for many months to come haha

I see and yes cams do help.

First time red line is always a good experience Haha!

Got a photo of the space between the window? I'd say it's normal like what Hadouken said... As long as the window goes all the way up.

Yeah Racepace will do you well, they know the Power FC really well and should re-tune it up nicely for you.

When I get home ill take a photo for you to have a look. The window seals are fine and window goes up. This is where the window seal connects to the roof of the car (think thats where the window deflector should come in)

With 356kw at all fours thats plenty for a while to come, don't think she will be needing anything more haha

Yeah nice one.

Ok sure, will wait for the photo and have a look.

I remember seeing a thread about this but after hours of searching I can't find it. I'm presuming its safe as any water that comes through will run down by the doors? But still not sure - any tips would help out.

Car is going great, I guess Ill start a thread and keep people updated with the small things I do. But first things first

For it's age, it can happen... I'd say the seal has just bubbled up due to the heat / sun.

Worst case, just re-order the rubber strip and replace it.

Nice custom plates, I'd assume M = Milan and BR34 = BNR34.

Ah ok, would you have any idea what that part is called?

Spot on on the plates haha

So the part is called the "Weather Strip Retainer".

I believe this is the part, however there are two and I'm not sure if it just the metal bracket, or do you get the metal bracket and the black seal on top:

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan-oem-right-side-weather-strip-retainer-r34-2dr.html

The biggest problem I have is that I can't see what actually comes with that item.

Does anybody have a company where they can order their oem parts from?

Thanks Odium,

Im trying to fix her up slowly bit by bit. Just need to make sure that this is the correct part as that came up at AUD434 which is quite pricey. Also I think that is just the front retainer - there is also the rear.

Any chance somebody knows what the actual rubber piece number is?

'll take some more photos so people understand what I'm talking about.

Wonder if there are any Nissan Dealerships which can order the parts for you? hmm

Just a quick note I've searched everywhere on the forums and there is no mention of the part for the 34Gtr, just the 32 as they have a clip on. Where as the 34 has screws that hold the bracket up together with the plasic.

First link is for the Left Hand Side.

Second link is for the Right Hand Side.

You could order it for Nissan AUS or just ask Racepace as they can easily source parts.

Thanks mate,

Will be posting things I do to this car bit by bit. She is in good shape, just needs that little bit of extra bits and pieces but its only cosmetics no rush I guess.

Will be sure to pop down the next SAU meet

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...

Just to give an update on the current status of the GTR.

I have to admit its probably one of the best decision I've ever made in my life. Its very fun to drive but what is especially interesting is when people are giving you the look "cmon man.......punch it please".

Car is very healthy so no real modifications were done since I got it. Ill post some pictures so you can see the before and after.

Fixed/Replaced:

- MDF Screen (had to do a lot of precise peeling but came out like new - thanks to whoever made the tutorial on here)

- Installed an Aus stereo and made the wiring nice and neat behind the dash

- Removed the nismo tie rods and camber arms as they arent adjustable, replaced with cusco so car goes 100% straight (was pulling very slightly to the left)

- Have a friend who does detailing who polished off the headlights, really good job. Will be detailing the rest of the car in a few weeks

Apart from that its very enjoyable to ride things I need to get are:

- Side skirts and rear pods, have a really good deal which are made up for fibreglass will be buying them on wednesday as its so hard to find oem

- Detail the car

- Perhaps swap over my bronze 19" te37 with a pair of 18"

- Swap exhaust for something a little bit quieter as this is very loud as its a 3.5" straight through, kinda needed for the 360atw tune (its a kakimoto)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
