There was a Canberra based transport company I used to have my R33 brought down from Ipswitch, though I can't for the life of me remember their name since the seller organised everything :( it cost ~$500 or maybe a touch more, doorstep to doorstep delivery, and short of the car rocking up absolutely filthy (dust and rain can't be helped) I was quite impressed with the way they handled the car.

Remember !!! hahaa

Picking up a 34 are we???

Umm might be ! It's looking more realstic than not. It's bog stock though - looks bog stock too :( However, if it'll pass pits then I'm cheering and the cosmetics come out :3

I think bog stock is the way to go. Sure it might cost a bit more, but that warm fuzzy feeling when you look and the pride and joy you've created is totally worth it :D

It was you ! it took me an hour to find out the person who had that type of sig (The skyline). Where did you create it? :D

Also, You're right... I'm sure creating my own project and finishing it will create some pride and joy however the money side of it.. The rims I want are $5k :( haha thinking letting someone else spend that money and then sell the car with the rims is worth it :P

Haha, theres this whole big online game thing called Pixel Cars or something.. I dont actually play the game but I like the pictures. I basically just did this myself using photoshop. Started off with a r33 and changed it to resemble my car. Had to create an account so that I could view the base pictures. If you want I can send you the link to the car you want so you dont have to go through the whole process

Yes please !

And no dodgy crap to fix from idiot modifiers.

Just looking at bits n pieces for my Skyline this morning and I don't know if this point is in the front of the minds of others when buying parts for your Skyline.

Looking at JJR + Kudos pricing, then RHD and Nengun.

Firstly JJR / Kudos - The prices are pretty static for the first two shops. Meaning their generally premium prices. This may be because they bought up big way back when. Both shops have great service and delivery is generally within a week. So if you want it now and are prepared to pay premium - best way to go.

RHD / Nengun - Seem better BUT when you add freight, 2-3 week wait time and potential warranty issues, there is very little difference.

These 4 shops only have what is on their catalogue.

However dealing with Marcus (Elrodeo666) and/or Jesse Streeter - the prices are ALOT less. This is because they get current prices from the manufacturers direct, they have personal relationships with the distributors (they know guys) and they apply the latest Aud to Yen prices, but the wait time is around 2-3 weeks. Also and it hasn't happened yet but may also have warranty issues.

So if you can wait 2-3 weeks I'd recommend one these guys. Plus they hunt parts down for you.

If you want it in a week then JJR or Kudos.

Eg: the NISMO twin plate clutch I was after. In Aus $2420 + Delivery. From one of the guys above $1700 delivered.

And lastly if your prepared to wait longer - then ship from Japan by SAL or SEA for an even bigger saving !!

Go pick it up Jeremy i picked up my car from compliance this time last year. Flew to Melbourne mate took me to Dandenong and i picked up the beast.It was a good drive being the first skyline i had ever drove never slept a bit.

Yeah, only problem is that it comes with parts :( gotta sort all dis out. Haha

Soo keen. Went to buy it today - but the guy stopped replying after agreed price etc. I said "alright - happy too etc" no reply...

Yeah - gotta cart - Front GTR bumper (not going to take it if it's the dodgy brand), stock exhaust, stock intercooler, stock pod filter, 4x stock wheels.

The old man is happy to go down - but he cannot go down until 3 weeks away. I can fly / bus it down and drive back - but it's the parts that's worrying me.

Tetris... 2 wheels in the boot, 2 on the back seat, Intercooler + pod = passenger footwell, Unbolt Exhaust and put in boot, Front bar on backseat or from back driverside to passenger front. Easy...

You Need to Move House more... hahahahaha

So.. want to come to VIC? hahaha

Man, I have moved 13 times in my life. Never packed a box :D !

So, "bought" the car today. Just gotta get down there and pick it up. He didn't want a deposit so I'm hoping that doesn't mean he is going for the next best price. He is a nice bloke but who knows.

Works in your favour - you get to walk around it, check it in the flesh, take it for a drive etc...

Best way to go.

True. The inspection came back immaculate. The inspector has never seen a cleaner one in his career for R34 GTT's for its year etc ('98). there is nothing wrong with it bare tyres and break pads. So it turned out really well.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
