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

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
