Ive been outbid for these GTT R34 guages, so if anyone wants some gauges for their Series 1, here they are! (ebay item 4578449632)

Brendan

you should buy a set of orange ones ian...

then i can buy your ones.....

i reckon it would look tops on your car :)

Hmmm, how stupid am I feeling today.. :-)

Damn that blue S2 Stagea looks FINE!

:O

Yep - I got it for the wife, but I've ended up driving it myself quite a bit.. :-) Bayside Blue (BB), what other colour would you want... :-)

Though I reckon muck's looks pretty good as well (for one that isn't BB), it's in the "Super clear red II" (correct me if I'm wrong) - you should post some picks of it.

Ian

Splitfires; Are they worth the cash?

Im in the middle of doing boost modifications (get my Apexi 'cooler & RB25 Neo turbo in the next fortnight), so should I be spending decent wadfuls of greenbacks to do the leads also (also considering Ive got an Apexi SITC ready to go on).

Opinions? Ive got 8k to go on the stage, but 5k has already been gobbled up!

Cheers, Brendan

Well I found that the stock coils on my r33 died after I went above 12psi, well they were fine until I hit ~4500rpm and then would cough and splutter. I whacked in a set of these and didnt have a problem after that.

There are a lot of different opinions about stock coils vs splitfires, but I have had only good experiances with splitfires.

My 2cents, dont buy them until you need them. And make sure you identify the coils specifically as a problem before you buy splitfires as what seems to be coils might be another problem, and buy splitfires might cover-up other issues, but then again I am by no means a mechanic, nor do I know much about cars or motors, just typing from experiance.

Excellent feedback, cheers Ska. Ive read a list of mods on your Stagea, so was intrigued to see what you thought of them. I'll keep my Paypal account closed for now then!

Well, I got an Apexi 'Hybrid' fmic from ebay Japan (good for 400hp), with the C-bend style end tank so that the pipe comes back behind the 'cooler and into the standard holes. Costing me $500 courier delivered (so I'll be selling the R34 'cooler in around 6 weeks), but looks to be in very good condition.

Add on to the Stagea the Neo turbo/actuator & Z32afm Ive picked up from forum members, and we should be laughing once its all dialled in on the new SITC and SAFC (both off ebay).

Its a good way to buy (off these forums & from ebay) but its also good to know if what you're buying will be of benefit (jury's out at the moment on the fmic with custom pipes, but we'll see...............)

  • 3 weeks later...

just a note to anyone be scammed out of 8$ by buying workshop manuals off ebay - theyre just selling the same manuals that have been floating around the internet for ages, making money off people who dont know any better.

hope this helps. sure people are already distributing the copyright material for free, but to make money on it crosses the already mostly crossed line...

    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • 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?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk
