Im gonna try convince my old boy that he needs to get himself an R34 that some of his mates at work showed him the other day online.

Do you have to get legit Brembo brake pads and brand new tyres when you bring the car in intially? What sort of cash are Brembo pads worth?

Any info would be great so I can try convince him that he really needs a 34. Reckon he's only have interested cos he thinks he'll be quicker than my 32 GTR!!!!

Brake pads and or rotors dont have to be changed if they are still good ( must be better than 50% left on pads and rotors within specs ) . It must have stock pads/rotors not aftermarket , front pads about $1000 from Nissan .

The car must be all stock to comply, no aftermarket parts and no previous body damage/rust unless on bolt on panels . New stock size tyres ( 245x40x18 ) on stock gtr rims 18x9 , even if it has new tyres fitted in japan you still need new tyres !

I'm sure if you go through a workshop that know's the guys at the RTA you could get by with a couple of things, mine had a couple of little panel dings (that still haven't been fixed) and they didn't seem to have an issue.. Just put some stock tires on than take them off when finished.. Borrow some off someone..

Depends on how you want to do it.. personally i'd want everything up to spec..

R34 GTR's cannot be complied with Xenon Headlights. You need to put the non-Xenon's in. Some dodgy places will convert the Xenon to a non-Xenon light and get passed it that way but that is THE biggest waste of good Xenon lights I've ever heard of. Just put the Non-Xenon's in for compliance and then swap them back to the Xenon's after.

They cannot be complied with Xenon's because they are not self adjusting. They are only manually height adjustable. ADR's specify that Xenon or HID Headlights must be automatically height adjustable.

Wouldn't it be nice to see the Fed Government put funding into developing systems to ensure old crap heaps are removed from the road than checking to see that fundamentally 'new' cars fitted with a particular brand of brake pad, rotor and tyre!

BL01, you complied your own car? So you're a compliancer?

The law says the non compliant parts that don't meet ADR's or haven't been tested have to be disposed/destroyed. Whether it happens and if you end up with em again is totally dependant on how leniant and/or how daring the compliancer is willing to be. Some compliancers sell the parts back to you at a hugely discounted rate ($1 etc) just to be semi legal.

Its totally within the compliancers rights to tell you that you won't get your Xenon's back as they aren't ADR compliant.

when i complied my own car. I had most of the mods taken out and returned to stock. My mods are returned to me in the end.

Nobody tell me that. I saw it myself with my own eyes. Unless you got ripped by your compliance shop.

When you get your car complied , the raw usualy converts your xenons to halogens , even if the compliencer gives you back the balasts ( they should destroy them like funky said ) you cant reconvert because they use the existing globe fiting to fit a halogen globe in it . You cant take the halogen globe out and fit the xenon globe back in because the fiting is modified and the xenon globe wont fit back in .

I never got ripped off by anyone , i have a 34 gtr with xenons that comply with adr ( self leveling and washers fitted ) .

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
