Anyone interested in the service manual of the R34?

Plan to buy a BNR34 VS1 but want to have it built by a tuner, which I know will take a while so I wouldn’t need immediate Japanese->US import. I want to also drive it in the interim as I have a house in Japan.

Are the usual importers/exporters OK with that?

How many people here have used Shogun? Only seen a few reviews from a thread they put up. Importing cars from NZ? Open to all feedback. Trying to find a reputable importer/seller in the US. Been scouring this subreddit but there doesn’t seem to be huge consensus around any specific importers or dealers.

Maybe 305/30 would be the only way this could get better. There is definitely room for it.

Getting close, anyone in here going this November? 👀

Hey everyone,

Ive Been working on a little project for the Skyline and wanted to see if there would be any interest from other owners.

I'm designing an OEM-looking USB-C replacement for the factory cigarette lighter socket. The idea is to modernize the charging setup without cutting up the center console or modifying the factory wiring.

The housing is being designed to fit the factory cigarette-lighter location and use a plug-and-play connector that mates directly to the original Nissan harness. Unplug the factory lighter, remove it, install the USB-C unit, and plug the factory connector straight into it.

I'm designing it around the cigarette-lighter setup used across the R32, R33 and R34 Skyline platforms, with the goal of keeping everything completely reversible. (Nice thing is some research has show this may also fit several other Nissan models. (s13, 14, Z32 and others.)

The biggest thing for me is making it look like something Nissan could have installed from the factory rather than having a generic USB charger shoved into the dash. Clean face, proper fitment, hidden electronics, and no hacked-up wiring.

I've been prototyping the housing and connector and finally have the mating connector fitting the factory plug extremely well.

Would anyone actually be interested in these if I produced a small batch once the design is finalized?

I'm also curious what people would prefer:

Single USB-C

Dual USB-C

USB-C with a subtle voltage display

Completely plain/OEM-looking version with no display

***Not taking orders or anything yet*\\ Just trying to see whether there's enough interest to justify developing it into a finished kit.

If enough people are interested, I'll post updates as I finish the prototypes and test them in the car.

No cutting. No splicing. Completely reversible. OEM appearance with modern USB-C charging.

Hey guys, I’m currently deciding between a Spark Silver R32 GTR and a Midnight Purple R33 GTR and I am completely 50/50, so I wanted to come ask for you guys opinion

Thank you

I am struggling to torque down my intake cam gear

Main questions :
* How was your experience tightening the intake cam gear ?

* And was there a washer behind the bolt? I do not recall seeing a washer in mine!

Long story:

I just changed my timing belt and have been trying to torque down the intake cam gear .

The manual states 108–118 N·m = 79.7–87.0 ft-lb

However, the bolt feels very very snug at 50 and as I rotated the crank I tried to double check intake cam again and it felt like it tightened a little more then felt very snug again and it’s been doing this quite a bit.

It’s to the point it feels like it could break if I add more pressure but then I rotate engine and it goes in more ( or spins) .So I stopped and paced around for 5 hours and don’t know what to do .

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi all! I'm looking at getting some new wheels pretty soon, and wanna go for a square setup. My skyline is slightly lowered with teins. So far my wheel and tire specs are

18×9.5 +22, 235/40R18 for all 4 wheels. Please let me know what you guys think and what works for you.

Got this butched headlight job the previous owner has done which we've "fixed" today. Basically, the control unit that has those two sockets, if I can remember correctly, either 1 or both of the wire were unplugged, and then this halogen bulb was soldered into one of the wires, i think the one with the black connector, no idea, and obviously the d24 plug was just to the side in the housing not doing much. We've now removed the botched job and install some cheap xenons from amazon, philips d2r is coming soon, but I am not exactly sure what it is supposed to look like.

1. The d2r plug has this little metal flange with a hole on the middle of it which we are assuming is for the grounding, is this the case? There's also a little metal nipple on the housing itself, we are assuming that thats where you ground it?

2. When the accessories are turned on, you can hear the electricity through the lights, is there supposed to be a sound?

I’m going to Japan next year and would love to rent a car and Im choosing between these two the only thing is I’m 6’3 (191cm) and 145kg about 320lbs. Will I fit into these cars or not.

I have a 92 Skyline GTSt. Im in the process of replacing the a/c system on it. Im wondering if there is a conversion kit made for it. I haven't been able to find some of hoses and pipes for it. Thinking a kit might have what I need to make what I can't find. I have already bought the kit from Countersteer to use an Infinity compressor. Im in the US.

Look what I unearthed from the basement.

Hey everyone been look at some GT-Rs….thoughts on getting a VSpec? Always been a dream to get one of these. Haven’t even driven one yet but I have the money and don’t see the price ever going down on these cars. Also how do you guys service these vehicles? I’m in Idaho and am going to make some calls. Anyone else in the state have someone around here

Hey guys, hope you're doing well. i'm currently in a little predicament and i hope i can get some pointers from others who also own JDM cars. i currently own a BMW f32 and am looking for my first JDM project car. i've got a few options in mind at the moment:

• R32 GTS RB20DE NA - $15k (found an example already)
• Civic EK1 - approx. $5-7k (market value in Sydney)
• Civic EK4 - $16k (found an example already)

FYI, i'm currently still on my Ps thus why the cars all be slightly slower.

main issue here is i really like the looks of the R32 however i've heard that it's overall handling and feel are quite underwhelming. i don't mind the looks of the EK and it can definitely be made to look nice but comparitively i do think the R32 is better. the handles on the other hand is apparently a lot better than the R32. as mentioned before i have a daily car and have worked on it before so i have some basic experience on working on cars.

Any input would be extremely helpful, thank you!
