Spare some insight

Skyline lords, forgive me for it being not a skyline but I was told it shares chassis with the skyline. I'm trying to buy my first used car (2000 GC35 Laurel medalist) but I don't know what to look out for. I was told these old Nissans have lots of rust and electronic issues and was hoping you wise ones could share some of your experience.

Apologies for the horrible photos, it's all I could get because the owner won't let me jack it up or get it to a mechanic.

It started after 2 years of sitting after changing it's battery. Owner won't let me test drive.

rb20de neo turbo ecu mods.

hello all. so after 5 years i finally got the hr34 back after a paint, turbo upgrade to the 20neo and n rb25 neo manual swap. all parts used are from the rb25 neo turbo

we went for a greddy blue e manage system as that was on the engine that i bought. it is an ok unit.

am thinking now about upgrading the ecu for more flexibility with future tuning. i found a nistune with an r34 gtt ecu and a haltech platinum pro for the gtt r34. anyone have any ideas how easy it would be to make these work with the car? i understand the nistune needs a licensed software to work and noone in my country has one. the prices are quite similar and i am leaning towards the haltech stand alone unit.

any advice is welcome

What’s your thoughts on seeing this?

This is AI but I was thinking about doing something like this to my 34.

I got a GTT and all the purists out there say GTR this, Godzilla this, OEM that. But if you want your GTT to truly stand out I think this would be it.

Hell, the new skyline is doing a retro revisit so why not join in on the fun.

[R34] Locking Driver’s Door + Tip For Pairing New Remote

Happy July 4th to all from the US!

Hoping to get some advice with what’s going on with my driver’s door not locking from the door control, and a tip to pairing a new remote at the end. Before going into the details, this was not caused from pairing the new remote. This was already happening before the new remote was paired.

The video shows exactly what the situation is. The old and new fobs have no issue locking and unlocking the doors, including the driver’s door. However, the door panel control has no trouble unlocking all the doors but will only lock all the doors EXCEPT the driver’s door! Manually pushing the driver’s door lock plunger will lock all the other doors as well. Why won’t the switch lock the driver’s door? The driver’s window doesn’t actuate either but I don’t think it’s related, is it?

Tip for pairing a new remote: don’t miss a beat.

So apparently, there are three versions. There’s the early R34, the late R34, and the late late R34. Mine is late late. When entering into pairing mode, the hazards don’t flash but the doors unlock instead to confirm successful pairing mode activation. Then, AT THE EXACT PACE of inserting and removing the key from the ignition, insert the key, switch to ACC, manually lock the driver’s door by pushing the plunger in, and press the Lock button on the new remote WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT. I got so frustrated in the initial attempts. I thought the new remote was faulty or the battery was dead or the car’s memory bank was full. But no, apparently taking 2-3 seconds between a step is considered too long for the system.

Be safe with grilling and playing with fireworks!

R34 GTR Coming Home

The Midnight Purple 2 V-Spec is about to finally head home after just over a year of being worked on and of course waiting for it almost impatiently. Was super cool for Larry Chen to snap a few shots of it when he visited, alongside the rest of PFS’s garage inventory.

Included some updated photos I’ve received of it after it’s PPF and ceramic coating.

Has anyone tried the Artina seat covers on their r34 GTT?

This one is on Nengun, otd for $625 (shipping alone is $200+). Couldn't find any other websites to sell the Artina covers.

GTR wing not fitting on GTST

So I purchased this “genuine” R33 GTR wing from Japan yahoo auctions and when I went to put it on it was way wider than usual about 1”-1.5” wider and as I look it up more the wing doesn’t flow all the way upwards to the trunk but was listed as an oem genuine wing. Is this maybe for a sedan ? Or anyone ever seen a GTR wing like this before

R32 GTS master cylinder and brake booster

Please help! My master and/or brake booster are done for and would like to know if they’re any interchangeable parts from other cars I could use for it since I can’t find any new or refurbished r32 gts brake boosters, I’ve heard the 300zx z32 could be use but I’d have to customize my brake lines and I’m not trying to go that route but if I must I will. TIA!

Top end modifications

Going to be pulling the head on my RB20DE (soon to be +t) to replace the head gasket. Any other suggestions on what I should upgrade while im in there? Already planning to do ARP headstuds as ive heard they are almost mandatory for boost but is there anything else thats worth upgrading? This is setup as a drift car so sees pretty constant abuse

R32 Restoration Update: She is finally painted!

The time has finally arrived. She is finally in colour. Maaan, KH2 has never looked so good! Best factory colour for R32 and best R32 GTR colour in my opinion.

From the absolute heap of shit it was from the start to what it is now is just crazy. Rusty, dented, filler everywhere heap of shit to 90% bare metal respray. Rust treated everywhere, pulled straight, underside raptor coated and engine bay painted.

Wow. We are finally here 😱😍

For R34 GTR owners

Hey everyone! I’ve been looking at getting an R34 GT-R for a while now, but prices just keep climbing. For those of you who financed one, how did you make it happen? Did you go through a bank, credit union, or a specialty lender? I’m curious what the process was like and if you have any advice or things you’d do differently. Thanks!

Where's your god now, RB boy

Jokes aside just wrapped up the notchtop SR swap on my 34 drift car. Need to dial in the suspension arms and alignment then we'll go hit the track soon.

RB20DE: Fuel Filter Brown Gunk

My non-turbo R32’s been having a weird bogging issue, so I posted here and ya’ll suggested fuel filter as a possibility. Just unhooked the old one and a fair but of this brown gunky fluid came out— even as I type this, if I give it a shake, more comes out the bottom spout. It dries up into a mud texture and then gets crumbly, so I’d hardly call it a liquid.

Internet doesn’t have much info aside from some boating and diesel-related stuff… so, any ideas on the cause and a solution? Holding off on installing the new filter to avoid ruining it.

Piston scarring

Took off the head to replace the very cooked head gasket and found a bit of scarring on piston 3 (where the gasket blew). Does this look like enough damage to be unusable? I’m assuming its a result of gasket material falling in
