Hey all.

Some time ago, i said i would take some photos of the interior and engine bay... Obviously you should have learned by now that when I say i'll do something, i mean in a few months. 

In any case here are some interior shots of the stock GTR for your viewing pleasure. BTW, the car is slightly dusty, and has some leaves and dirt in it, the photos make it look very bad, but it's not as severe as it looks. I took a lot of images of the stickers on the car, as I suspect there wouldn't be too many left with these stickers intact.  I also grabbed images of the usually suspects for wear and tear in an attempt to convince those who aren't (there's a few out there - mostly facebook experts) that the car has been rolled back or had a changeover cluster and other parts. I'm convinced that isn't the case, unless someone has changed every single component on the car, in which case, it's an amazing rebuild (which it isn't) and would be worth the cash monies I paid anyways. 

Ok i'm losing track of my point... See the images below. :D

Artifical lighting and flash always make it look 10x worse. 

Car looks fully legit to me. Even down to the fact your intake snorkel foam surround is already perishing 0_0 Nissan got it wrong on that material lol 

I struggle with this car because I would want to drive it all the time to enjoy its freshness, but not ever drive it to preserve its freshness... So I would do as you have done and have two :D

I am a bit the same. But I feel like i need a third GTR. Like a high mileage stock one. Maybe in Midnight Purple. Then I have an easy to drive, no problem, already depreciated GTR on my hands that i can run into the ground. Or am i being greedy??? ?

Thanks for showing me this little weapon the other day mate!

shes definitely genuine, a proper time capsule.

No worries. I show them off to everyone who pops round for parts and fixes. So far everyone reacts like you did. We're all the same, kids in candy stores round these cars. :D

Also I'm learning that the KR4 car gets the big wow factor over the LM. Never thought i'd say that, but there you go. ?

Do they not make these new?

Never even occurred to me. ? 

But I would suspect they probably do now that you've pointed out the flaw in my otherwise brilliant purchase. (In my defense, it popped up in my advertising, I got excited, I bought it).

This is getting old... accidentally tripped over the power lead the other week. Double checked the connection to the car. All good.

Fast forward to last weekend, attempt to start car to move from Garage. Nothing. No life whatsoever. Dead battery assumed. Check battery, cables, power lead, all seem fine. Look at power outlet, the damn plug has pulled out there... uggggh.

Chuck the multi-meter on it. 4.2Volts. Wow...

Cue pulling apart car and retrieving battery for "fixing" with a power supply and 100 odd watts being jammed into it. I'm sure it's just on it's last legs this time.

I too recently flatteend yet another battery.

I think it was fats say he just buys the cheap shit lead acid batteries because they dont care about being flattened and will just charge straight back up and be happy. 

The next battery in the silvia will just be a touch heavier, but much cheaper and more forgiving.

Yeah this is solid thinking in my book. I am surprised by the batteries I have though. The yellow one you saw above died twice and the black battery in the car has died twice as well. 

The only issue I have is the Silver car still has the original battery tray in it, so I have to keep the battery small enough to sit on that. If I didn't know that all these components made the car worth more I'd have chucked them all in the bin. Which i think happened to all the GTRs in the late 90s/early 2000s. Certainly the LM hasn't got these pesky things like trims and carpets and clips... lol

Big GT-R problems... battery tray lol

If I don't blow things out of proportion my life seems boring! ?

Went for a spin in my mates 33R recently, was fun, didn't make me want another one lol 

I think this make's you a rare breed. Normally the cycle is: 

  • Want GTR
  • Buy GTR
  • Mod GTR
  • Hate GTR
  • Sell GTR
  • Profit?
  • Want GTR etc etc.
Edited by Steve85

Profit for me = part of engine build for Silvia. Originally it was going to be the full engine build and box swap etc but the spec list kinda grew....

Driving an M4 really changed my world view. So many cars I haven't experienced. I've had 2 GT-Rs and aside from the power differences they were largely the same.

Will always love them, just don't want another project and I don't think I could stop myself building it if I owned another.

To find one "finished" these days is drug money. There's no way I would spend the kind of money I got for the 34 on another one. Even rough 33s are so far overpriced it's nuts.

I get to live the dream through you and your dollars instead :D

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
