Car looks amazing man, keep up the good work! :woot:

What size are the RPF1's and tyres if I may ask?

Thanks!! :wub:

the RPF01's are 17x9 +22 all round and i am currently running a 235 45 R17 tyre.

I was running a 235-40-R17 but they needed replacing and had a set of 45 profile tyres on another set of wheels so Im running them for the time being and i kinda like the chunky look of the 45 profile :)

Cheers for stopping by!

Been pretty slack with updates!

But yes I have been doing a few things! 

To start I installed some fog lights to the front of the car, I've had these sitting around for a while and thought it'd look cool.

Firstly i started by rolling up into a mates garage.

And took the bar off

Replaced the white/yellow-ish bulbs with a set of very yellow 3000k bulbs

Car performed perfectly, not 1 issue all day, beat a GTR and set myself a good baseline time for this car :) After that, went for a drive up to dural to visit some family and had to sneak in a wisemans run.

I have always liked red R34s, was actually my first choice before i gave up trying to find one and got my yellow one.

Car looks great, keep up the good work. I am glad to see it hit the track and It looks like you had heaps of fun out there.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Red ones sure are hard to come by, I don't see many of them at all!

Track was/is a lot of fun, keen to get back out there!

Small update! I know I've been quiet, but in reality, not a whole log has changed on the car.

One thing I have changed however is the exhaust system. After becoming sick and tired of the drone I got a fabricator friend to get the car on the hoist and we took a look at the exhaust system to pinpoint things I could do to improve it. After taking it off and seeing a rusted out mid resonator as well as a more or less collapsed rear muffler which had turned into an echo chamber, the exhaust was a "write off". We cut out the resonator and welded another one in which was a cheap bandaid fix for a few months however I eventually bit the bullet and sent an email to jesse streeter in Japan to order my new exhaust, the HKS Silent Hi-Power, a full 3" stainless exhaust which really isn't silent at all, but that's absolutely fine, and it's a huge improvment over the droney mess I had before!

Aside from that, not a whole lot has changed, I'm just washing it regularly and driving it a lot which is a nice change really! Im hoping to get out the the Feb SAU NSW Cruise if anyone would like to say hello :)

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
