Wow. You're in your 30's and complaining about the gtr being uncomfortable? Soft man, soft.

it's almost like he thinks he's on some sort of online discussion board, a forum if you will.

That's ok since you don't really drive the 34 ever since you got it anyway.

*Looks at the suspension in the car...*

With a lovely chassis like the 34 with some decent rubber and power, the valving performance offered with the X-R series I feel would be ideal. 

The Blue series are an excellent package for the price point but are a street/comfort orientated style setup that when using your car for even spirited street driving may not offer the support needed with your level of rubber and the AWD. Blue series are $1590 inc GST and come with default spring rates of 9kg front and 3.5kg rear.

The difference between the X-R and X-C is all in the valving, this determines how a shock works and gives it its characteristics. The X-C series are developed for comfort and ride quality only, so again I feel if wanting to exploit your chassis and power this would be a little lacking compared to the X-R series.

The X-R series paired with the spring rates recommended are aimed at being the best blend between performance and ride quality with only our custom valved Red series offering a better blend.

Nah, get the Blue and tell them street use ;).


Massive difference between my TEIN and Ohlins (all second hand), Ohlins are "street" setup and valved/sprung softer, so driving around is much nicer.

TEIN and current HKS suspension can get airborn, Ohlins rode over them quite nicely (for a short stroke damper).

Would be even better with the "better" R34 chassis. But then I don't know how smooth your roads are compared to Sydney.

A mate bought some Blue for his Evo8, probably more comfortable than the stockers.

Magnificent low Km "IS-F" at Earlwood/Sydney. Silver.
I've driven this one, and it's nowhere in the 90s..., or 80s..., or 70s...

Another nice choice I thought would be a Cayman Std/S which would be down on power but would sure be a nice drive.

Also good value in the low $30K mark are the Z4Ms hardtops

What was your take on it Terry? 

* Response is immediate without hesitation 

* I never used the brakes in quick succession to detect any fade

* Cornering is really good whilst having driven M3s before. Good tyres on the car help of course.

* Power curve through the gears is strong and seamless

* Steering has good feel but it's not as connected compared to a GTR of course.

* Comparable certainly with any  M3 I've driven. So whilst it's a buyers market especially for the next 10 weeks, try it out. when you plant your foot down, the V8 sound is sublime .

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it.

      The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
