Ok another update! I put on the new fuel line so the car runs again with out pissing gas all over the ground. Feels good to drive again! Also, I had a package delivered a day early!! So I went ahead and put that on to.

 

OEM optional drink holder center console. Missing a piece or two, but its in fine overall shape!

Also made the impulse buy of new wheels. Figured they will be worth more than what I paid so I might as well get them while I can.

How it looked before alignment. I ended up getting around -1.8 degrees up front and -2 degrees in the back 5.5 degrees castor i think. Cant remember.

I bought these Greddy/Grex brakes like 12 years ago for my 240sx. Haven't really ran them so I decided to put them on the GTR for now. They match the advan RG well.

4 pot aluminum calipers, 330mm 2 piece rotors with duralumin gold anodized bell housings, Earls teflon lined stainless braided lines.

New OEM rear wheel bearings, hubs, nuts, washers, bolts, sway bar end links, brackets etc. Plan on doing a pretty hefty refresh since I'll be dropping the subframe for all new nismo bushings/arms.

Looking fantastic mate, you are the only other person i have seen use the Nismo wrist bands to cover the reservoir. I think it's quite a nice touch. My next one will be to see if i can get my spare sit of nismo handle protectors from my cube to fit the GTR. 

What catch can setup are you running? i assume nismo but i can't see it, though i could have missed it. You battery looks out of place! You should Plasti dip the bottom of the battery (the white part) black and it will blend in heaps better. I even painted both reservoirs black in my car, and taped up a strip that isn't painted so you can see the water level. But it would be a shame to do that to brand new items! 

Thanks. The battery is what it came with from japan. Looks oem to me. I have no catch can installed yet. Its basically an OEM engine with basic bolt ons that I put on. I have a pile of parts for when its time to pull the motor. That will probably be the next step after I get all this suspension taken care of and installed. But I have the nismo oil/air separator that I'll be using.

"when it's time to pull the motor"

This dude knows GTR's haha

I've done 2 full rebuilds and there are still a couple of things that are "next time the motor comes out"

I'm honestly surprised you don't just buy a nismo crate motor. If i had my time again i would have just done that. 

Isn't just "A nismo sticker" all you get with any nismo item? 

Yes.

But at the price nismo motors are, hell they have been discontinued and you can still get them for 25k in Australia let alone bring one in. I would have saved myself 10 months worth of rebuild time, and all the little niggling issues i have had to deal with.

What do you get for your money with a Nismo crate motor over a locally assembled engine with forged internals?

The warm and fuzzy feeling that you overpaid for what is a luke warm stock engine.

You'd have to have rocks in your head to pay those prices for a 2.6L. Honestly!!!

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
