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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
