Howdy r34 owners,

i'm wanting to sell my cars for a newer skyline. I'm thinking of skipping the 33 and go straight for a 34 but obviously cant afford the gtr but i wouldnt buy a gtt unless i could get it up to about 500-600hp. and afford too as well. Obviously any car can get that power figure with the right amount of money.

After purchasing the 34 i'd prob have about 10k to put into the engine.

Just wondering if there is anyone out there getting this kind of power from there r34 and how hard it was.

Otherwise i'll just wait a couple of years and buy a 34gtr.

Am just hoping there is someone out there who has done this and can give me a ball park figure.

Or if you haven't necessariy done this but have the know how and could shed some light.

thankyou

The problem is (at 500 bhp) you have chosen a power output target that is 50 bhp more than almost everything in the RB25 will handle. So a 750 bhp target wouldn't cost anymore, all the same stuff would have to be upgraded.

Achieving 450 bhp on $10k is just about possible, if you do some of the work yourself and avoid retail prices. But you will need to add to that some suspension and wheel/tyre upgrades to make use of that power. Otherwise it will be a waste of time and money as the power will be unuseable.

:ban: cheers :)

lol 10k aint enough for reliable 500-600hp i spent more than that on my 34

it wasnt hard just time consuming and there's so much to pick from to get to that goal of 500hp.

at the end of the day u have to ask yourself what are u going to use it for or what are u tryin to achieve with a 500-600hp car...?

You want a real challenge?  Buy a R34 with Auto transmission then try get 300+rwkw 

Much harder than turning a Manual into the same power :P

easy just throw your check book at it!

get a beefed up auto gearbox + ecu!

bbwwwaaahhh

with adam seems to be doing well with only 0.9bar and still plenty left in the turbo!

In a week's time I shall be close to Adam... but it's not as simple as just throwing a cheque book at it. It's quite tricky as not many of the normal items / tricks work!!!

ECU is perhaps the biggest problem... there isn't one that does everything!

good stuff another r34 with some decent power....wooohhoooo ! well im counting 3 now!

mmm will motec support auto...?

I've contacted Motec before; their M800 model does work on the R34, but only if you hook it up in "piggy back" not stand alone.

For the outrageous $2.5k+ unit, just seems a little over the top for a piggy back ECU.

Never fear though, some new stuff being developed... 1) Bikirom from AUS and 2) Apex'i New Piggy Back ECU

Hopefully these will provide the answers, otherwise it's rather limited as to what can happen without getting ripped off!

Anyone can throw money to make something work; it's more about finding smart ways around things I think - otherwise woudln't we all just convert to manual? :P

Haha, how much of this upgrade and all future upgrades do you think I will document Eric...

Getting to 200 was the easy part, the rest is for me to know, my mechanic to know, and my tuner to know :P

just checking to see if it would be a viable option, guess not. Well i want more power and a newer car as well. I like r34's but i don't think i would be happy with spending shit loads of cash and only getting to 400hp, which is not much more than what i have now.

i guess i can't have a newer car and more power. one or the other then. maybe sell the gtst and spend it all on the gtr but i probably wont eva see that money again

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
