Finally managed to get the pictures off the camera!

She is a bit dirty and rough so hold back on the negativity :)

Outside:

wide angle

car from distance

rims with sick snow tyres!

front bar

car in driveway

front bar close to my driveway

rear end

rear end 2

Engine Bay

Interior

inside

omori guages

recaro bucket

Damage

dent in bonnet

rear left damage (worst)

rust spot

Overall once I fix up the dent in the rear and that rust spot it will be all good. I think she is pretty sexy. Exhaust needs to be done.. that one has a little hole in it which makes a humming noise;/

Anyway I look forward to seeing you all out and about! :wassup:

The only downfall (and subsequently first thing to be rectified) is that it's an auto.

yes you heard right feel free to start hanging shit.

BUT

that being said I got it pretty damn cheap so I managed to fit insurance/compliance/rego/alarm and shit into my loan money. For a uni student with no parents to support him, that's a good thing!

Just for the record it came with the following:

Omori guage panel (oil/water temp, oil pressure, ext temp)

GReddy boost guage

Nismo 260km/h dash cluster

KYB Super Street 4 way adjustable suspension (springs I'm unsure about, not stock because my original shocks + springs were in the boot)

Blitz super sound BOV (not on the car, was in a kit in the boot)

HKS EVC (old school one like in meggala's ceffie - not plugged in was sitting in the glovebox)

SAFC (again old school item with the 5 knobs)

3inch exhaust (pretty crappy mild item but does the job)

Recaro bucket + 4 point harness

my climate control box was moved to my glovebox (gotta love more room for more guages!)

GTR front bar/bonnet/skirts/rear bar/wing/I think the rear guards are pumped or GTR items/r33 grille (think it's an r33 grille.. anyone know?)

Think that's everything

Looks awesome, i like the grill, looks good and probably 1/4 the price of a gtr one.

Also, from the engine bay pic it looks like it has a remote oil filter kit, which is handy coz its a bitch to get to it in the normal place.

And youve got a strut brace, dont forget that.

Itll clean up good.

Congrats on the purchase. Pity it's auto tho, but nice never-the-less.

I'm curious as to how they fitted the high-center-rear brake light, cos AFAIK a GTR wing doesn't come with it.

I have a GTR replica bar sitting in my shed atm (plastic as far as I can tell)... makes me want to put it back on, but it'll scrape the hell outta everything (car is lowered slightly).

Thanks for all the kind comments. The manual conversion is the first thing on my list don't you worry.

Yeah mine is stupid low and scrapes on everything too.. more so because I wasn't used to the ride height and was doing this maybe a little too quickly heh.

Didn't the GTR come with the brake light in the wing? Interesting..

A quick question relating to rubber. I'll have to get some new rubber because the ones on the car are winter/snow tyres.. what do you suggest I do:

a) find a 32 owner and borrow his for a few hours at the pits?

B) buy some new rubber for it..

I don't have a heap of cash so might go for second hand rubber if that's the path I'll take.. anyone know prices on second hand rubber?

There's a post on tyres. Here's what japcab had to say.

North End tyres bro

14a carrick drve,

tullamarine.

Second hand tyres with 85%-95% tread on em.

Cheap as chips, i scored 285/R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros for $150 fitted.

check em out.

Personally i will get my tyres from them to. Oh and nice car. :)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
