ok, firstly there have been some threads about 34 cruises etc,

I've just had a look back through 4 pages - that's 100 threads in my books...

There are 3 main threads that mention R34 or are directed toward R34's

some threads... Actually it's 3% of recent threads...

now enough said!

leave it at that

And I agree for once Matt :D

Back on topic now: I would still love for a meet of some description to take place. Clinton I already have Firefrog's mobile and AFRO has kindly provided his, perhaps we can make a few calls between us (and anyone else interested) and sort something out in advance. Like I said before I'm still waiting for my GTT to arrive but in a fortnight or so I should have it.

BTW thanks firefrog for the 'passenger' invite earlier, I might have to take you up on that offer if I'm still waiting ;)

Count me in guys!! I think this is my firstpost ever since i registered couple years ago but I take delivery of my 34 tommorow!!!!!!!!!!!! Will keep you guys posted!

Cheers

OK we have quite a list now! This is sounding better and better by the moment :D

Not to put a damper on non-R34 owners but this is the master list of those Brissy R34 Owners who are interested in doing a met up every so often. (other liners or forum members are obviously welcome at any time)

So far we have:  

Clinton

Myth33

Firefrog

666Dan

Pear(waiting for the 34 like me ;) )

Afro

R34GTX

CYA_34

Think of the photo oportunities with this lot, gets me very excited!

If we can all agree on the best way to organise this, that would be great. Mobile numbers are great but not everyone may want to provide them online etc?

Otherwise I had an Idea that involved creating a new post with all of these details, get it 'STICKY' by the SAU mods under the 'Queensland' thread and from there we can keep track of meets and post meet discusions in that thread.  

Using the one thread it would be best if we plan meets fortnightly or monthly. Everyone should have sufficient time to get their cars and themselves organised that way :D . What does everyone think? VOTE now or forever hold your peace!

Can we make the cruise in about two weeks time cause I should have my 34 then also? If not I look forward too catching up with you all on the following trip!!

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone. It's been one of the hardest things about owning the 34 is the amount of differences from the other models and that's made it all that much harder to do mods. Finding the info or finding someone with the info has been harder. So I think that this is great for all the Skyline owners not only to embrace all things skyline but to share the knowlage and appreciate the differences too.

PM me so I can pss on my Mob.

Cheers

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
