Greetings from Canuckland,

I am new to SAU and I have an R34 Sedan - RB25DE NEO (tiptronic/auto).  It has about 144K+ kms and has a rebuild auto tranny with new solenoid a/b parts, new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and cam seals.

I miss the car meets and cruises due to covid19 and health restrictions for large groups.  stay safe! stay home!  wash your hands.

I have had her for 2 years now.  I bought of a mechanic who had to move out of province and did not want to deal with any 'out of province' potential issues (i.e. - new brakes/rotors, etc.).  Its a daily driver.  A few nicks on the hood, doors from rock chips.  I gave it a 2-step Meguiar's polish and wax at the beginning of summer 2020.  The trunk lid (boot) needs to be refinished eventually. I need to fix my hazard and turn signal lights ASAP!  They do not work at the moment.  I have heard the engines tops out at 180km/hr.  

All stock except the yellow sport brake pads (new rotors), tanabe sustec pro coilovers and Zeit wheels; 18x9, 18x9.5 on Extreme Contact Continental DWS.

It will be electronically limited to 180 but you can get devices that remove that limit.

What are 'out of province' issues? I dont know what that means.

It looks nice and clean! 

The mechanic was moving out of British Columbia and into Alberta, Canada.  

https://www.alberta.ca/out-of-province-vehicle-inspections.aspx

Basically, to check for basic safety or any mechanical concerns or issues before someone gets their vehicle insured in Alberta.  I think he had only a few weeks to move to a new city and no time to do any upgrades or back to o.e.m. prior to moving out of British Columbia.

 

I have seen the one product by HKS - speed de-limiter.  I think i'll wait until I get a turbo setup, one day. eventually. For now, the stock rb25de neo runs quite well.  All except the hazard/turn signal light issue(s).  The search continues to resolve the no working light issue. 

Thanks!  I have always wanted an R34 and I was quite pleased to be able to buy this and in a 4-door.  Good space for our two small (papillon) dogs or the groceries. lol

welcome!

decent looking ride.

any plans for future upgrades?

or leave stock and enjoy?

Thanks!  I'm from Canada, Vancouver Island, BC.  

I have been trying to resolve my hazard and turn signal issue(s).  I think it may be the relay (near the kick panel on the drivers side) or perhaps a connection near the battery that needs to be cleaned out.  

It had the transmission rebuild last November and she runs just fine.  It does idle a bit high and I adjusted the idle screw and perhaps I need to take the IACV off and use some cleaner on it.  

One upgrade would be to find a manual transmission (cd009) and possibly a turbo set up.  Vancouver Island has its limitations for any cruisin'/drifting and the local police forces are cracking down on any car meets and towing vehicles.  So, horsepower is not a huge deal for me right now.  Driving on the Island Highway is still a lot of fun with a stock motor.  :)

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
