So after years of searching I am finally a 1999 GTR R34 V Spec owner. I still remember when I first saw the R32 as a kid, also remember asking Dad to buy the R34 GTR as a family car! This GTR R34 is my second Nissan after the Infiniti G35 Coupe 6 MT which is the V35 350GT.

So I have checked out at least a dozens of GTR R34, although this is not a perfect example in my book but it is the best one I have seen. This car has many mods on it some good some bad, but it is definitely a good car to start a build with! I am still new to the RB26, please feel free to make any suggestions!

Here is the current mod list:
Engine:
- N1 Block
- HKS GT-SS
- Jun cam 272 in/ex
- HKS 1.2mm metal head gasket
- Nismo fuel pump
- HKS fuel rail
- SARD 534CC injectors
- Tomei fuel regulator
- HKS intercooler pipping
- Trust intercooler
- Blitz BOV
- Trust radiator
- Tomei turbo outlets
- 90mm high flow stainless exhaust
- HKS F-con V-pro tuned by JUN (Koyama Tuner in Hong Kong who is retired now) for 1.4bar. auto cut off at 1.5bar.
- Trust profec B
- Trust turbo timer
- Nismo super copper mix clutch (700hp)
Handling:
- Brembo 6 pot Mono block 355mm GT brake kit
- Mine's Ohlin's shocks and springs
- Nismo sway bars front and rear
- Cusco control arms front and rear
Exterior:
- Nismo Replica Body Kit
- JUN Rear Spoiler Stand
Interior:

This is my latest addition over the weekend after the dyno tune was GaugeArt for my Haltech ECU. It was fun the playing with this using R35 themed MFD background. It also makes it much easier to monit

Last week I have finally got to dyno tune my car and the result was pretty good. It was done on Dynapack Dyno 468whp 414lb-ft

It has been a while since I have updated this, since the last post I have done the following... I have successfully converted from HKS F-Con V-Pro to Haltech Platinum PRO Plug-in for my 1999 GTR R

Looks awesome mate, the white Regamasters definitely set it off.

Where are from? Judging by the huge license plate somewhere in the EU?

:thumbsup:

Thanks mate!

I'm located in Hong Kong! Not too far from Australia. Yes we do use the UK style plates here since we are ex British Colony.

I actually didn't know those are called Regamaster.

I'm looking to replace a few things in the near future, such as:

Haltech

800cc injectors

OEM DV

Mine's or Tomei Exhaust

Mine's Front Pipe

Nismo LM-GT4 or TE37

I need suggestions to start this build!

Nice car, congrats. Interesting that when you type R34 GTR wallpaper in Google images most of those pics come up repeatedly in the results :P

Finally removed that stupid looking Essential Vent to Air Oil Catch Can and replaced with a new stock washer fluid bottle, a new rear washer fluid motor, and a new OEM PCV Hoses.

The stock set up will be alto better than thermo's.

If its a modified engine then you may want to look at running a nismo or similar oil air separator.

The stock setup is already not enough for where I live, there is this local garage that had installed an extra electric fan that pushes air from the front of the radiator already. To clean up the mess, I think switching to 2 pull electric fan is the better solution.

Yes I am looking into getting Radium Engineering Catch Can, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/443367-radium-engineering-oil-catch-can/

If we can do track days when it's 30 degrees with the standard fan and shroud then I wouldn't think you'd have an issue.

What are your temp issues at the moment?

its like 30-40 degrees here and very humid... I only see temp issue when in traffic or slow traffic up the hills, since hills are everywhere in Hong Kong. With the added electric fan up front now basically its always on when in traffic but MFD still shows a few degrees over the cruising speed.

BTW what does your temp gauge in the speedo show when cruising? Mine is slightly above the middle mark

I guess the humidity wouldn't help. My gauge always sits in the middle but the gauge on the dash is very vague. My water temp gauge sits anywhere between 75 and 85 degrees depending on what I'm doing.

I bet (as long as everything else is in good working condition) if you put a stock shroud on, your coolant temps would improve 'in traffic or slow traffic'. Additionally, if you have an N1 water pump, then that isn't going to help at low speed either.

LOVE the car , I have the same cars as you, the 350GT Skyline added Twin Turbos and now a Black R34GTR and about to put the RB30 Block and Nitto 3.2Lt stroker kit in, should be a fun car. Add the Advan RS-D machine/gloss black rims and all done.

Here is my ex Nissan, Infiniti G35 aka 350GT Skyline

attachicon.gifIMG_0186.jpg

Never seen a white one, I think I would like my R34 to be a lighter colour as it gets hot very quickly in the sun, as do most cars but black is the worst I have owed , black yuk but looks so great cleaned, trouble is they even get dirty in the garage so I made a cover so I can easily put it on and off, photo , works a treat.

Both fun cars to drive, it will be interesting to see how my new work goes on the R34GTR

Finally ditched my old exhaust and installed Mine's Front Pipe Pro and Mine's Slience-VX Pro Titan III and Venom 100Cell 5" Body High Flow Catalytic Converter

Much more civilized sound didn't get to redline it yet, still waiting for a proper tune before I can blast this exhaust in the tunnels!

      Walbro 460 in r32 gtr

      I run 2 x 525 pumps on factory 8mm fuel lines     ... zero issues, staged of course    Your setup should work fine, all you need to do is find the restriction. A good aftermarket fuel regulator is always a good idea too. If it's not your regulator i'd be suspicious of your fuel tank breather and your tank pressurising. Next would be something with the fuel hat. Then blow out the fuel lines.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars- 180sx and S15

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Update time...... Been a crazy busy time and a bit of a change here. Sold my 370z Nismo as wasn't using it much and wanting a 86/brz so wife can have some fun at the track again also to help with funding the s15 build.  As said last time booked a cruise to NZ. The place is great, drank lots of craft beer, eat food and visited some amazing places   The plains of rohan Before we left I finally got an electrician booked and the shed now has power. Been so good being able to use it at night and not running things off a 20m extension lead. Got stuck in last weekend and reorganised it and cleaned up a lot of stuff. A few more things to tidy over time but really good to work on now. There's 13x 10a GPO, 3x 15a GPO, 4 high bay lights and 5 LED batons so will never have an issue seeing or powering tools. 437344198_7178721088892834_15829362501196293_n.mp4   Work has restarted on the s15. Removed the rear cradle so could pull the fuel tank and finish emptying the stale e85 thats now been sitting for almost 4 years 🤮 Cleaned it out and let it dry. Removed the old lift pump and have reinstalled a new lower pressure pierburg pump with all new hose and lowered the pump to get it nice and low in the sump of the tank. Also got a an old diff cover cleaned up, work has a soda blaster so made quick work of it. Going to put a 4.11 ratio diff in with a fresh rebuild thats been reshimmed for now before buying a good diff centre. And had a big change with going back to full time work. Opportunity came up to apply for a race mechanic job so applied and got it, been some big days so far but definitely enjoying it and getting to work on some cool stuff and with some great equipment. Learning a lot on proper car setup and suspension so will be valuable for the s15. I'll be part of the travelling team form next round too. This weekend will get the fuel tank and system in, need to buy a rollover valve and mount that. Get cradle in with the diff and axles then make a shopping list to buy to finish that off then start looking at cooling setup and plan intercooler pipe routing. Work will definitely be slow now on the car but will be to a higher standard.  The 180sx hasn't sold so may be heading out to Morgan Park labour day weekend for a charity event to have some fun been almost 6 months since I've driven it so will be take time to get comfortable again.

      It has a separate fused 10ga wire running from the battery to the relay in the trunk. 10ga on the ground also.

      Actually I did the fuel pump rewire 2 days after the issues started. Grinded away the paint and grounded it to the chassis behind the right panel in the trunk.
