New pics of my R34... - Page 4 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Alecci · 23rd March 2008, 08:11 PM

Just wanted to share a few pics taken at the annual Bilsport Performance & Custom Motorshow at Elmia here in Sweden:

I know it's a bit too low... I did some unfortunate experimenting with my new coilovers prior to the car show, and didn't have the time to set them properly before putting the car in there.

And yes, the car graphics are very inspired by Mine's... To be honest the whole car is very inspired by Mine's.

Nice.

I've been playing around with the Skyline GTR (r34 of course) in Need for Speed: Pro Street and I decided I want to make them look like ones I find on this forum.

You're my first victim.

Sadly a lot of the things on your car aren't found in the game.

Oh, look who it is!

Who's your daddy now, kid?

nice car man

L14M0 · 24th March 2008, 09:39 AM

I agree it may be abit low, but other than that it's very nice

R34 lover... · 24th March 2008, 12:21 PM

it is a very nice car
but however to low... and some spacers on the wheel would make the car perfekt

I'll be sure to get some more pics of the car once the coilovers are properly adjusted. Before setting them too low there was no hint that spacers would be needed. The rims are 10" wide and the offset is +20, so I guess the weird angle just makes it seem like spacers are required.

wow, ouch on the crash, really nice rebuild.

An offset of +12 would have been perfect.

Long time, no update...

A few (quite) recent pics for those interested:

Custom-made wheel center caps sporting the GT-R logo. Ride height has been adjusted a bit as well.

The car was back in the garage for some time, collecting dust...

A shot of the rear...

I really like this picture... It looks aggressive and dangerous.

Brand new Nismo side skirts and rear spats have arrived, just need to sort a way to have them covered in carbon.

Sadly enough it seems this project will never be completed. I'm experiencing severe engine problems that I'm not able to solve myself, and I've managed to drain my savings account in the process of just getting the engine started.

As things stand now, this will be the end of this thread and of my Skyline-ownership as well.

It has been fun sharing it with you, I wish you all the best of luck with your projects.

A shame this.. No chance you can hold on and have her up and running well? Patience is a virtue so they say..

What sort of problems do you have??

These posts make me sad

It would be a damn shame if you have to sell your baby.

Mr Disklok · 4th July 2008, 12:02 PM

Just read this post for the 1st time,

Although very sad to see the crash, why spend all that money on really expensive parts and not even get the engine running! It has just baffeled me!

Very interesting read and thank you for the informative documentary. Good luck with the sale.

Alecci · 4th July 2008, 04:23 PM

Believe me, it's not that I want to sell the car, but as I cannot get it running it seems like a bad idea having all that money tied up, which could otherwise be spent elsewhere...

I have threads going on some forums concerning the problems, but they've received very poor response, if any, so far. Here's the thread I have on this board: Engine Problems

Any help I can get sorting this problem out would increase the chance of me keeping the car. I could probably work out the practical issues of working on the car myself, but I need ideas on where to start looking.

My next bet is that it's related to vacuum, so I'll take out the intake plenum and check the throttle bodies and vacuum lines.

I don't know what else to do.

We own a special purpose machine company and I have to deal with crazy problems all day. Don't get me wrong, we don't make simple coffee machines or such stuff, but complex pneumatic and servo motor driven machines with computer controls etc..

What I've learned in a really short time:
1. Anything that is broken can be fixed. Anything.
2. Especially if it ran before, you can get it to run again.

Conclusion: Double and Triple check everything, don't stop with the mechanics, also check cables and stuff! Would be very sad if you had no other chance then selling the car.
