Hi you guy down there!

I am in England and have just picked up my pride and joy which I ahve been without for nearly 2 months with the modifications being done

Just had a custom made rear spoiler from APR put on, the lambo doors, and the full Bomex kit.

Just wondered whether you have seen a 34 with these before, have searched around and think they its the only one in existance. I know they aren't to everyones tastes but believe me when I say I've done it properly. The kit I got was of superb quality and opens up like a normal door first to save buggering the door up.

Hope to hang around and see what you lot up to and whether you do it better than us - maybe!

All the best guys

Thanks for the nice comments - I know its not to everyones tastes but it certainly makes an impression whether you like it or not - guess everyones cars has something that others don't like - thats what makes this game so much fun!!

The bodykit is Bomex which I had shipped from Japan.

The wing was custom made for me by a company in the US. Its by APR and is the GTC-300 spec. I saw the shape on a Celica and got them to make me one specially for my car, sent over the specs etc and they made it - the quality is outstanding and they are now thinking of making it for the liner as a result - cool! Looks huge in the pics but it does suit. Not very good pics, got professional ones being done soon and hopefully mag feature

The door hinges were from a company in the US also. http://www.tunerracing.com/ I did order the 'showstopper' kit which is fully remote controlled, motorised doors with solenoid etc. But htey just WOULD NOT fit behind the wings. Going to be using them for the bonnet and boot probably.

The speedball is a copy of the Gumball that I have created - I went to enter the Gumball and it was £10,000 (don't know conversion rate). So I have created my own - check it out at http://www.speedball2005.co.uk/ We are doing 9 countries in 4 days over 2000 miles. Its in its first year but already have 20 paid up and entered and the event is taking place in July.

The car is pretty boring in terms of perfomance - Stage 1 mods pushing out 315 bhp. Its the tiptronic one becaue I'm lazy and its plenty fast enough for anyone who has driven them. There is lots of traffic in the UK so a manual is a workout!!

Few more pics as requested......

Hey whitey,

315bhp is nice..

But Whats a Stage 1 Mod? Is that a Gran Turismo thing?

What have you done to it performance wise to get this figure, or are you not really concerned with the cars performance at this point..

Cheers mate,

Don't know how you guys define your tuning over there. Over here, tuning is done in 4 stages

Stage one mods consist of Exhaust, Induction Kit, De-cat and boost controller.

Stage 2 - uprated turbos etc, remap

Then the steel internals etc etc etc and so on

Not too fussed about the power tbh, its really quicka nd it only becomes a problem when you start upgrading stuff. Its the tiptronic so can only go up to 350bhp in real terms cause of the gearbox. Got 2000 miles (3600k) to do in July for the speedball so need it in good order!

How do you guys do things in terms of upgrading your bits and pieces (still talking about the car!)

(Pentae - that is the coolest film ever - childhood favourite!)

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
