Hey ppls.

Well, I'm about to start manufacture of the R34 AFM to TURBO reinforcement ducts.

Construction?

Mandrel bent pieces of Stainless steel, in a raw finsih, TIG welded. No polishing will be done, but if you want to do it when you recieve your pipe, the steel is ready for it. There will be sufficient pipe at either end to give a good seal to to the air. There will also be 2 x 1 inch beads of weld on the rim of each end of the pipe to give a non slip join.

You will need to purchase your one clamps depending on what style you want.

Currently the R34 jig have been fabicated and production will begin when all payments are in.

The price will be $110 each EXCLUDING postage.

I will work out postage with one person in each state and ship the ducts as a big bunch, and you can pick them up from that person. This means it's much easier for everyone and cheaper too. Obviously if you are out the back of Burke and you need a single shipment, or would just prefer a single shipment, this can also be worked out.

NOTE

The standard duct will not be able to be returned to standard after fitting the new section of pipe, but the duct will be such that it will be virtually invisible to the untrained eye.

People in so far, tell your mates who have R34s now, as I will only do this group buy once, no matter how much people want them!

Total R34 = 11

I will require all payments before I start the project because I'll be damned if I'm going to be stuck with any if people pull out after the material is bought and so on.

Check my trader rating, I'm not going to rip you off, I'm a committee member of Vic SAU, so they trust me, and so on and so on.

Before you ask, the price is the price. No question.

Please deposit the funds as such

Account Name

Peter N Blythe

Back of Melbourne/Westpac

BSB: 733 382

ACC: 586817

Amount $110

Please put your user name into the description of the deposit.

If you deposit the money at a bank, please ensure they also do this.

If you do not want the ducts and your name is in the list, please let me know so I'm not waiting on your payment.

I would like to apologise for the delay in getting this to the final stage, but I came up against a few obstacles on the way.

Thanks

At about 1 bar, the duct can suck closed, witnessed by HPI and Abo Bob who just recently had one made becuase I was taking so damn long with this group buy.

The duct warms up, sucks closed and the car slows down. not good.

Hey guys.

Well, after a very long time, and much effort and much p1ss farting about and yadda yadda.

It seems that the way I want to do it simply ain't possible.

It will require hydroforming (high pressure steel shaping) and a lot of time, effort and money to do it.

The price would go up significantly, and we would be back at square one again.

I simply don't have the time to do it.

Im very sorry for all who were keen on getting one, as I was also very keen on having one for my car.

I guess I'll just have to call it. Maybe if I find some time and a different way of doing it, I will give it another go, but not until I have a piece in my hot little hands to work from.

Again, I'm very sorry. This project was meant to be a walk up start and easy, it sure looked that way on the video, but hey. Life ain't always easy, and not being any good at any welding or fabricating, I couldn't really do it myself.

BASS OUT :(

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
