Anyone ever heard of these guy's?http://www.slideindustries.com.au/product_p/tk-ni-rb.htm

He claims the turbo's and manifold are not made in China.

I've heard of them... Tats too... wouldn't know about the made in China thing though.

Not sure if coincidence but there used to be a place called Sliding Performance in Brisbane that used to sell performance parts.

I'd be wanting to know if they're the same place cause those guys stuffed me and a lot of guys around on orders before they were removed as SAU sponsors.

THE CAR IS READY!

Finally! :rolleyes:

I think you need to chuck a sickie and go get it.

Not sure on insurance as I'm Old, but Shannons works for me.

Who is the 33 insured thru? Hit them up.

THE CAR IS READY!

Going to hopefully pick it up Friday or organise someone to pick it up tomorrow.

Now suggestions for comprehensive insurance for a 23 year old male with no crash/suspension history?

Have you organised someone to pick it up for you? where is it located? If you need a lift tomorrow let me know

Nick was nice enough to sell me his R34 GTR VSPEC II NUR model kit. So got some things to help me out and build it !!!

I'll be going a Bayside blue (Redbull blue) instead of MJade as they didn't have the colour :(

So I got to see/drive the car for tonight. Staying at my Aunty and uncles and it's parked out the front.

I was filled with excitement and the car looks amazing, the paint is great and I love the pearl in the dark. First impressions when I went for a drive was that surprisingly enough my 33 feels 10x better to drive.

I think the coilovers are shot so they will need pulling out and replacing with some nice springs & shocks. The clutch feels a lot different because I'm so used to my heavy duty clutch and my loose gearbox.

Right now the rims are rubbing on the guards and have cracked the paint under it, similar to what happens when you try roll them without heating them.

No backfires or anything but I took it easy because it's got no insurance and needs a good service. Wheel alignment is needed and probably all the suspension looked at.

Very happy with the purchase though and I can't wait to get into some modding when I get back from NZ.

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
