  1. Sounds so much easier to buy a GTT, might just do that...
  2. R34 GT-Vs and maybe all R34's i think have the RB20DET box, look it up on wikipedia etc. Is it worth turbing an N/A? Does it make your car any decent power? haha because faaaaaarkk I'm getting sick of having no power, should i sell my car and get a 350z or just turb the 34? i don't need to buy bigger brakes etc, its just the clutch and gearbox that i might need to sort out.
  3. Quick break down of skyline values... (some may disagree, feel free to comment) Turbo Manual Coupe - worth the most due to being the most sort after, after this is either the turbo Auto coupe / Manual sedan 2.5L Manual GT-V Coupe (turbo size brakes, turbo suspension, LSD, sway bar and usually Xenon lights) 2.5L Auto/Tiptronic GT-V sedan (turbo size brakes, turbo suspension, LSD, sway bar and usually Xenon lights) 2.5L Manual coupe 2.5L Auto sedan 2L Manual coupe 2L auto/Tiptronic coupe 2L auto/Tiptronic sedan The lower down the list, the less your car is worth.. (due to being less sort after/popular) Some modifications can also lower the value or not increase the value (at all) of the car too. I was going to sell my car ( R34 25 GTV facelift manual coupe 127,000 KMs aftermarket rims, carbon bonnet and altai side skirts) for about $11,000 my mate was keen to buy it so he asked around and people reckon that its too much for a non turbo skyline!! then again there are people out there that don't know fark all about the value of certain skylines...
  4. Post up some more vids of this boosting
  5. I'm confused??? are they trying to diss us or are they taking the piss out of themselves?? everything that they have said sounds like aussie talk and nothing like what we say haha crikey maytet only the inbred maoris sound like that
  6. When i got my exhaust done about 3 years ago i had no idea about sizes, i just told the shop to give me the best performance and they installed a 2 1/4 inch exhaust. feels nice down low and up to about 5000 RPM but after that the engine starts screaming and the power starts to level out. Very nice pull down low tho like i said, makes town driving fun and you don't need to use much throttle. I'v got a rb25de neo tho, not an r32 25de
  7. If you threw the same wad of cash at a stock GTT as your mate did to his supra you would have a way faster GTT.... lol comparing modified cars to stock cars isn't all that impressive.. unless it was a pos paddock basher or something unusual... Hows the handling on the open road? (i.e not trying to get it sideways)
  8. Sounds good, i can't wait. Try stealing a R35 GTR engine and throwing it in the 34, Pretty sure it hasn't been done yet.
  9. The rear bumper needs to be chunkier on the sides, everything blends in apart from the sides of the rear bumper.. Can you see what i mean?
  10. Rays engineering/volk racing, have there own pant codes You need to put up some new pic's of the car, probably the only car i actually want to see on this forum at the moment
  11. I would say you would get $1000 or less for your old engine depending on k's. You would need a new clutch and depending on your need for speed a new gearbox to cope with the extra HP. If its a GTR engine swap expect to pay at least $3500 for an r32 engine, $4k+ for an r33 or $5k plus for an r34 engine, price really depends on condition/k's i.e crashed car or removed from a mint car etc etc etc... To fit this engine you need to modify the sump to get it to run in RWD which I'm guessing what your car is ( not a GT4). Then you will also need an aftermarket ecu and a few other gismo's to tune it which is going to be expensive, at least another $1000 for a good second hand model. that said i have no idea on install costs. If i was you i would do a swap with a GTT engine only if you have already spent a good amount of money on your car, because a few posts from now you will have a lot of people telling you to sell your car and buy a turbo one as its cheaper.. so get ready for that and work on your reason why you haven't looked at doing that Lol.
  12. lol i got my rays stickers for $12 for a set of four.... stickers are stickers who gives a F(*& if there "GENUINE" haha
  13. rb25de neo is faster, sr20de s14 and earlier is a shit ass slow engine, so im assuming ur gf has an s15? if thats the case then no it won't beat a neo, iv raced a few of them.
  14. I can't be certain (due to the angle of the photo) but the rear guards don't look that great looks like u killed the factory flare line and just went for the bulge look, would of been nicer if it was the same as the GTR rear quarters with the vivid horizontal line
  15. How do u polish your gtr? it looks so shiny
  16. Iv got a series 2 R34 and it does in fact have bigger brakes (same as the GTT brakes) its called a GT-V the special model, very hard to find, its the model that has the option of the bayside blue color the reason only series 2 came with the optional blue color was to try create more sales for the final production year of the R34 (2001-2002). Although sadly my car is just the series 2 silver color
  17. Did the AVS 5 star alarm system come with boot protection, the one iv got is about 3 years old and it doesn't have the boot protection thing like the new ones out. I think my installer might have been a lazy f*ker of just forgot to put it in and I've only just looked into now
  18. Fast & furious? maybe just furious, those F&F cars have super turbed engines lol
  19. Impossible to tell you have to them if your looking at the engine, aggressive cams change the engine sound a bit so are noticeable if someones looking at your engine while its turned on. Camshaft Basics The key parts of any camshaft are the lobes. As the camshaft spins, the lobes open and close the intake and exhaust valves in time with the motion of the piston. It turns out that there is a direct relationship between the shape of the cam lobes and the way the engine performs in different speed ranges. To understand why this is the case, imagine that we are running an engine extremely slowly -- at just 10 or 20 revolutions per minute (RPM) -- so that it takes the piston a couple of seconds to complete a cycle. It would be impossible to actually run a normal engine this slowly, but let's imagine that we could. At this slow speed, we would want cam lobes shaped so that: * Just as the piston starts moving downward in the intake stroke (called top dead center, or TDC), the intake valve would open. The intake valve would close right as the piston bottoms out. * The exhaust valve would open right as the piston bottoms out (called bottom dead center, or BDC) at the end of the combustion stroke, and would close as the piston completes the exhaust stroke. This setup would work really well for the engine as long as it ran at this very slow speed. But what happens if you increase the RPM? Let's find out. When you increase the RPM, the 10 to 20 RPM configuration for the camshaft does not work well. If the engine is running at 4,000 RPM, the valves are opening and closing 2,000 times every minute, or 33 times every second. At these speeds, the piston is moving very quickly, so the air/fuel mixture rushing into the cylinder is moving very quickly as well. When the intake valve opens and the piston starts its intake stroke, the air/fuel mixture in the intake runner starts to accelerate into the cylinder. By the time the piston reaches the bottom of its intake stroke, the air/fuel is moving at a pretty high speed. If we were to slam the intake valve shut, all of that air/fuel would come to a stop and not enter the cylinder. By leaving the intake valve open a little longer, the momentum of the fast-moving air/fuel continues to force air/fuel into the cylinder as the piston starts its compression stroke. So the faster the engine goes, the faster the air/fuel moves, and the longer we want the intake valve to stay open. We also want the valve to open wider at higher speeds -- this parameter, called valve lift, is governed by the cam lobe profile. Any given camshaft will be perfect only at one engine speed. At every other engine speed, the engine won't perform to its full potential. A fixed camshaft is, therefore, always a compromise. This is why car makers have developed schemes to vary the cam profile as the engine speed changes. factory cams are very conservative so they sacrifice effeciency for better drive ability. After markets cams are more aggresive and work the other way around. They increase lift and duration and make the combustion cycle more effecient by letting more air in and out faster and make better use of the combustion pressure on the piston (lift and duration). Drive-ability gets worse because aftermarket cams are made for certain RPMS, at this certain rpm the camshafts are working at optimum speeds and every engine part is working in sync (valves/pistons etc), outside this rpm zone driving becomes rougher i.e accelerating is not smooth until your near the optimum rpm. Mild cams are one step better than factory and the compromise in drive-ability is very little, but gains are still good. I'm sure someone can explain this better, i just found the first part on the net cause im lazy and cbf explaining it all lol. Also, are you getting cam gears or camshafts??
  20. guys, try to do locations etc using PM. If you don't already know this, when using google quite often this site pops up with all sorts of keywords from posts like this one. haha and using a flat bed has it's negatives. 1. it puts your car like 2 meters in the air, its like a billboard "hey look at me" 2. in conjuction with point number one, if you spot your car on the flat bed, they can't exactly out run you if your in a mates car etc 3. they can't pick your car up if its in between 2 other cars.??? 4. Unless they use fake plates witnesses can report the registration to the cops 5. Not the most discrete thing in the world, yes i agree some people will think your getting towed for a legitimate reason sometimes but then again some people might take notice and do something about it, especially you if you catch them in time.
  21. Its been done before. *edit: oh yea sorry i forgot it was mild, i was thinking along the lines of something more aggressive. lol at least my estimate wasn't 40kw like his mate said
