GMB - I have Steve Caplice engineering the car, and I have an sr20de to drop in, I would like to go turbo, but on a bit of a budget, I might strap on a turbo later on for power to weight ratios around Ferarri territory :P

Anyway, I just picked up a steering rack from Todd, which lines up very nicely, and hopefully picking up a pair of hubs from Damo tomorrow - if he hasnt fogotten me and tells me where from - hint, hint :P

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

well a big update for me.

surge tank and fuel system is in and running. oil cooler fitted. 25mm spacers and guard flaring done. injectors in and working. power FC in, modified and running. basicly only heaps of very minor jobs to do and its all finished.

i took it for a quick spin around the yard :D and i think it will be ok. haha.

How good are the guards though!!!!!! I have NEVER seen a set of guards rolled and flared so well, it's just a shame the rest of the work on the car isn't quite at that high standard.

Definatly in good hands ;)

But I can sympathise with you tho - sometimes parts just seem to fall out of the sky, other times... well

I am thinking the car will mostly be for weekend blats around back roads, but definatly a few hillclimbs, sprints and track days - Hopefully giving you skyline boys a run for your money :)

Tell me about it, all i need to do is borrow one for about an hour and then i can progress.

Looks like i will be doing other things over the weekend now instead of working on the car ;)

hasn't your car been off the rd for almost 2yrs now glover?? what's going on with it?

Pretty close to its 2nd Birthday yeah :D

The car is ready but experiencing a few little electrical problems stopping me at the moment. Just waiting to get some coin together to get someone to look at it then hopefully turn the key so its running then tidy everything up, install parts and tune.

Busy this weekend with a wedding but *touch wood* i can get someone to look at it next week and have it running :)

My FMIC & Coilovers arrived from GReddy Japan finally and are getting fitted on my R34 GTR tomorrow! I'm soooooo excited!

Still searching for a nice carbon fibre bonnet, some ganadors will be going on soon too I think, a few other little things, clear indicators etc then new Deeeeeeeep Dish rims (My R34 GTR Rims will be for sale!) and then on to some internal work and making my final decision on what turbo/turbos to run....

So exciting :D

Going to remove the starter motor and bench test it to make 100% sure its ok then just go over all the wiring again.

I will be calling on Pimping Kustoms to do my gauges though :(

      I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
