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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
