Hi All,

I'm looking at getting my R34 GTT lowered and don't really know where to take it or which springs to get?

I've had my R34 about 6 weeks and I've just joined SAUWA. Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to get it lowered and cleaned up for PAS.

Also, one of my rims is a bit scratched and I was hoping to get em all polished. Anyone know where to go and how much it would cost?

Cheers,

Jarred

Here is the link to the place most SAUWA guys go for rim repair:D

Lowering it, I'd just go with King Springs, the stock suspension is good, just a bit high. Can get you a price tommorow if you'd like:D

Cheers

Paul

Hey Erik,

Yeah, though you might have - I've already met you! I came and looked at your black one when it was on carsales.com too!!

I heard you sold it - How's your new ride? I should be on a cruise soon (or might eben make it to dyno comp on weekend) - Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing some other awesome rides.

Nice ride dude, Saw that car on sale on carsales.com.au 2 months ago , Hope to see you on the next cruise :)

HI Scags,

 

Oh really? Hehehe I didn't know that btw how's your ride? :) fast? :D

It's auto right? if I'm not mistaken

Yeah it is hell fast - well compared to my previous ride. It IS auto which is a bit unfortunate. That was one of the things I liked better about yours, also yours was lower - but that will be fixed soon :D It has the sports mode on the steering wheel, so that is some compensation. I may look into changing the transmission eventually, but I don't know if that is an impossible (or too costly) task?

It has some really nice mods though and they are all high quality. The car is in near new condition too.

Where did you get your new yellow R34? What needs to be done to it before you put it in PAS?

Cheers,

Jarred

Hi scags, got msn?

Nah my ride is slow due to tuning and no ebc atm :)

Mine was super super low :D , just get lowered springs or coil over and you will be fine.

Your ride is nice, everything is perfect except the rims :D, I'm getting impul front bar as well :D kekek

Everything is good? icic that's good then

I got my ride from NSW, I just don't have time man kekeke :rofl: I just need to repair rims and exterior which is easy but due to money and time I just won't put it in PAS this year

btw my msn is [email protected]

Here are some photos so you can see how bad the height is right now!! It's like a monter truck!

The Rims are 18" (8" wide at front and 9" wide at rear) The tires are 35 profile.

The gap to the guard is thicker than the tires :cheers:

Cheers,

Hi there.

Got a question, is that a factory bodykit or....?

Looks great! :wassup:

Hi Merlin,

Nah - I don't think it's factory - most R34's I've seen don't have that kit. I don't know where it is from, it was on the car when I bought it. I think it is called a Bomex body kit?

P.S. The 34 looks heaps better now that she's lowered

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
