157,305 - rebuilt 3 times already.

But only because it needed it the 1st time, the other 2 were stupid things that happened while It was in the less than capable hands of family members.

What tha? What did they do? I'd like to know so I avoid letting this happen myself...

First time was at around 90,000kms. After a night of drag-racing around newcastle I woke up in the morning with Zero oil pressure and broken ring-lands. Detonation killed that one.

Second time was at about 100,000k's. My sister was using it for a while. Got a call from her halfway down the freeway from Sydney and asking what the Temp guage meant when it was pointing straight up, Oh and there was a strange bubbling/boiling noise coming from the engine bay. I asked how long it had been like that for, she said the guage was like that for the last hour but the noise was new and made her worried. The Heater core broke shortly after getting it towed and spilled fluid down the passanger footwell. Got the pipes dodged up but it still had a warped head and block.

This rebuild they bored out the cylinders and meant I had to fork out for a new set of forged pistons and HKS copper headgasket :rofl:

Third time was at about 127,000k's and I was living in sydney by then, my brother was using my car for work. He was a Courier and his car was out or rego at the time. On Miller St in North Sydney it just died and he was there for a while trying to start it and roll start it with no luck. After another tow to Powerplay they found the Tensioner for the Timing belt had just sheered and just fallen off making the belt go slack.

Block was ok, Pistons were marked but still useable but the head and valves were shot. Put a new nissan gasket and rebuild kit thru it again just for the sake of it and got all the damage fixed.

When I picked it up from Powerplay I had just got my licence back and I took it home and havent let it out of my clutches since.

Moral? If you loose your lisence for 3 years, put the car into storage or something, up on blocks is perferable. Will cost less in the long than letting people who will just neglect basic maintennance and serviceing.

Sure the Tensioner was just one of those things, but if he hadnt been there trying to keep starting it again for ages the damage wouldnt have been so bad.

guys, just a question...do you actually think the kms done on your car is genuine?? I heard 80% of the kilometres have been tuned back so that they can fetch a higher price in Japan. Any of you have real genuine service log books on your cars?

How long can the RB25DET engine run for? will it blow after 100,000kms? Jordan's car sounds a little scary though...:D

It most definately will not blow after 100,000km unless you mistreat it (mainly by not doing regular servicing).

I reckon our odometer was probably fiddled with somewhere and that is why we got the dealer to do the belts etc, after the odometer was only working intermittently while driving it home.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      Starting again

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
