is anyone gonna take photos of the FMIC installation? Would be good if someone could post it up after its done since I don't think I can make it on Saturday

Someone tell me the address plz, I'll pop by on sunday

Hopefully the installation will be quite well documented... I'll be at work from 8am to 2pm so I don't know what the plan is yet...

For the final time: this event is on this SATURDAY

FMIC going in today :):(:D

At the moment I'm still at work - anxious couple of hours before I go back North to see my baby get a new set of lungs :P

Who's there? I don't know... what will the 34 look like when I get back? I don't know... The only thing I do know is that by sunset I will have a new FMIC and SAFC2 in there!!!

Nice to meet you too Steve :blink:

The Latest News:

Well the FMIC has been installed and it works brilliantly right now... you guys should hear the noise that comes from that turbo now :D All in all it took about 10 hours all up including complete dissasembly, fabrications, and modifications. But the overall experience was well worth the wait and sweat. Biggest dilemmas included: getting bonnet to close properly, getting the fan right so it doesn't hit the piping, and finally (and most obviously) getting the front bar modified so that it still looks like an R34 :rofl:

On a positive note though, just like to say that the JustJap intercooler and the R34 Piping from JustSR were simply fantastic! Everything bolted together nicely without any head scratching - cheers to those two places for their help on this one :D

Once again, I'd like to thank Mitch at GCWP for all the hard work... actually got him up at 7am LOL. Looking forward to next time already. Also a big thanks to all those who droped by to have a chat and offer advice.

The bad news is that the factory air snorkel no longer fits so I will have to decide on either having to fabricate a new snorkel that does, or go pod?!? Still weighing up those two options.

The second piece of bad news, well not so bad actually, is that we didn't get around to installing the SAFC2 which was a shame. But there is always next week for that :D :D Can't wait.

All of the photos and a full write up is being developed on Project R34 - SATANIC so wait for that one to be released.

Oh yes, there will be quite a lot of stock R34 gear being put up for sale in the FOR SALE section... so keep an eye out there.

Looking at getting my rear speakers (and front splits if they arrive on time) installed this weekend... same place as always; just need to check with my mate to see what time he's free :)

Also going to get my clear indicators installed - sick of the amber colored plastic which you can see from a mile away :( Picked up a set of Front and Side Clear Nismo's from Kudos Motorsports...

  • 3 weeks later...

Purchased a front lip for the 34 from carmate... It was advertised as a GTR-style lip, but other members have informed me that it is a copy of the factory GTT lip. Bloody false advertising!

Anyways, fitting will be on Saturday for all those interested. Hopefully our mate who is a body kit expert will be there to guide us along :D

any chance of a location of where you are getting it fitted? keen to pop by on a number of occasion but was alway so damn busy. Finally free this weekend, really interested in seeing it go on.

cheers all

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
