Kabab with cheese,

   OK What needed to be done.

Brake pads have to be Standard $1000 per pair or borrow some like I did.

Zorst & header pipe has to be standard, I bought a STD one $700 from turbo back. I can hire the STD one out to any R34 GTR owners if they get nicked by the RTA or need it for complicance $50 per week.

Suspension. I had the STD springs and sustension put in the back of the car when I bought it. I now have for sale a 500km old HKS hypre Max II for an R34 $1600.

Wheels and tyres. Need to be STD so I borrowed a set of R34'swheels and borrowed the STD size tyres $150 with all the work.

Air box borrowed the STD airbox.

On top of that the windscreen part numbers did not match up so I had to put a new STD windscreen in $400

The normal compliance stuff like fluids,  the complier looked after.

Once it was registered I had some mods done to it, he he! The Zorst, pods and wheels went back on.

Other then the 5 months it took it was easy!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, what are peoples thought on changing my log on or should I simply stay

Oz GTR97V?

Only with cheese oh come on man the works!!!

Sweet jesus thats alot of work but worth it :D It sounds like you holding onto the stock bits :D hopefully i will be contacting you about renting em ;) in the near future..

I have a spare set of stock front brake pads for any R34 GTR ~ 1/99 onward for sale if anyone needs them. Almost full meat left. $250 (save $750 :) )

They are currently just sitting around at home as I bought them in case i needed them for compliance.

Looks better in the flesh and those wheels are tough. Test drive well no not me yet although two of my mechs did today, and they both said VERY nice, which is hard for them to get excited sometimes. Will enjoy your company on the Sydney tracks next year Paul. YOu have worked hard and very happy for you. Blitz you got to get one soon.

Yeah, I currently have MADGTR on there, although Im not sure about changing the good old OzGTR. I might ask the admin people if they can simply change my name by removing the 97V off the back.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
