Jealous much? :D

This is by far the most stupid comment I have ever seen on an online forum. Congratulations.

Until you have an R34 GTR than can run a 10.81 @ 136mph, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself, because all you're doing is coming across as a jealous prick, who can't give praise where it's deserved.

Who gives a flying f u c k whether Jason whipped out the tools himself and fabricated his own driveshafts... He's got the resources to pay someone with the knowledge to do this, and instead focuses on doing what he CAN do, which is his job.

Just because you don't have the engineering background to do everything yourself, does that preclude you from having a fast car?

Do us all a favour and STFU.

XCUZME: Merlis right on this one mate - That is a seriously foolish comment.

All you are doing is critisising someone who is successful in what they do and is lucky enough to have enough $$ to pursue his passion.

When you have the knowledge to personally build a car of this calibre then you might have some justification for your comment, but for the moment, standing back and yelling "cheque book racer" to someone like Jason just screams jelousy :uh-huh:

I know if i had the money, id sooner pay a professional to engineer and build an R34GTR for me than try and do the work myself, thats just common sense.

Personally I would have saved the plates and stickers until I ran a 9 second pass. Sticking them on the car now is a bit like opening your presents the day before your birthday. But I have little doubt that car will end up in the 9's eventually, I just hope that it doesn't get turned into a full on drag car to do it.

YLWGTR has it spot on though, there are better drag cars than the GT-R and the best place for a GT-R is pounding around a circuit. If I spent that much on a GT-R it probably wouldn't get into the 10's down the strip, maybe the 1'40"s around Philip Island though.

I hate it when people use that lame line, imagine if every time someone criticised John Howard he said "Until you are elected as Prime Minister keep your comments to yourself" nobody is beyond criticism as nobody is perfect, but I agreed with the other stuff you said.

I too, would have saved those plates and stickers until the car has run a 9 second pass. But the car ran a 10 second pass on it's first drag meet, with it's STAGE 1 MOTOR... Lets give credit where credit's due.

And although I agree that the line "Until you have an R34 GTR than can run a 10.81 @ 136mph, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself" is infuriating, this is only the case because it's true. I'd say that only a handful (if that) of us would have the resources to undertake such a project as getting a lard-ass R34 GTR down the strip in the 10 second bracket in full street trim.

It just seems to me that too many people are putting in their $0.02 where they have no experience and no basis for their comments, other than watching others do what they cannot do, or cannot afford to do. That too, is infuriating.

Cliff notes: It's a beautiful car. I'd love to own it. I'd love to drive it. And believe it or not, so would all of you who bagged it and/or it's owner.

It is not and never will be true. It is a throwaway line that "plays the man and not the ball". Personal attacks are cheap shots and should always be treated with contempt. I just thought it was a shame you detracted from your other insightful comments by saying it. It brings you down to the level of the original poster's "cheque book racer" comment

It's not a personal "attack" at all.

All it is saying is "If you don't have the knowledge or the experience, shut the fu ck up."

Whoops silly me, I thought this was a forum full of support for fellow owners and enthusiasts, What? It is? Oh ok then I had better lock this thread then as to not detract from the other more appropiate lines of conversation we have on offer. Like for example PM's and the like.

Have fun chaps,

Toodle-Pip.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
