Princess, we will be getting on the grog in Mallala... I actually have a spare bed if you want... but you better be quick!

Would have loved spinning spanners and laughing at you and all your gay drifter mates but alas I'll be hillclimbing at Dapto. Looks like our mobiles will get a work-out again. Pull your finger out and finish it or you will be be my "Dan the Spanner man".

Neil.

Yeah I know mate... not too much time now... but I must say I am almost happy that I can't work on it again until monday... I am nearing 525 hours spent on it mostly by myself, huge thanks to Jamie for his technical direction and assistance!!!

We have only now to swap sensors around and bolt the head onto the bottom end... drop it in the car, grab some seats and harnesses and away we go!

Should be running by Wednesday at the latest... then I have to put a piano on it to run it in and try to behave myself... anyone feel like an overnight cruise halfway to melbourne and back!

I'm getting so excited about having it back... can't wait!

Dan.

Sindows, I do have a job, but took some annual leave to get the car back on track.

I can't reveal the news just yet, but I will shortly... should be by the end of next week.

Chris, I'll be at the workshop from about 3pm on monday until who knows when, and same for Tuesday and Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you there!

Cool, just wondered...

How many weeks have you spent on it?

Nissan enthusists are funny.

Most people take annual leave to go on a holiday.

We take it for getting our car on the road/building the car.

Cant wait to see the end product...

GL mate!

LOL... yeah well you know... gotta do some work here and there on the car...

Lets put it this way, it was pulled off the road on the 28th of November 2005... and it will be back on the road THIS WEEK!!!! so that is what, a solid 6 months of work on the bloody thing, while holding down a full time job and a casual job, trying to mod my house to keep my wife happy, keeping my wife happy, trying to find some bloody sponsorship, make this documentary, and attempt to breathe somewhere along the line also!!! did I miss anything????

Oh... and I go to get the "Special thing" on Friday!!! Can't wait.

Will be playing with it on Tuesday not far from Sydney...

Gotta love some good suspense!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
