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

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ight=rims+fixed

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:

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

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
