Ok guys I have plans for an R34 GT-T. J-spec has some for $25000 landed and complied (plus ive notcied one on here going or $25000!) As per normal it wont be left stock. Visualise a midnight purple R34 with 18" Starcorp Racing Impul Chromes (white with chrome lip and 18 by 9s on front and 18 by 10s on the rear). May or may not put on a URAS monkeykit. Mods are as follows:

- 3" cat-back zorst

- Trust FMIC

- Star Racing Impul Chromes (18 by 9"s and 18 by 10"s)

- HA coil-overs

- Nismo 2-way LSD

- Trust Td06-20G turbo

- 770cc injectors

- heavy duty clutch to support the new power

Now im a newbie when it comes to modding cars and have no idea about the costs involved so the flame suit is ready. If there are any parts that are needed that i havent mentioned yet please say so and the cost of the part. However, if someone would like to give me a rundown on the costs involved. I'm guessing about $3000 for paint job? $500 for zorst? $3000max for wheels? $1700 for HA Coils? $1100 for FMIC? and the rest im unsure about so any help will be appreciated. And as for how im gonna afford it, I'm employed by the Defence Force so its not really a problem.

wheels 1600

turbo back exhaust - 1200

turbo 2k maybe?

injectors 1k

fuel pump - 250-350

power fc - 1k

boost controller - $35 - $600

air filter - 100

FMIC - 500 - 1000

tuning 5-6hundred

new clutch - wouldn't hav ea clue how much

6-7k in engine mods alone

then there;s the suspension

Coilovers - 1.5-2.5k

thats a lot of money so I'd save that useless paint job $$$ and use it on the engine

unless you just wanna look good

770cc injectors ehh? There's about $1500 worth of gear already :cheers:

I also don't think the Starcorp rims come in 18x9 and 18x10... even if they did, they would look ridiculously stupid as the wheels would come out of the guard. I have the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 and they are already borderline.

What about boost control? Don't tell me you're planning on running a stock setting for such a large turbine?

And all those little bits and pieces? They all add up there too...

I agree with James, save the 5-6k from the paint job, and get the mechanicals all right first... at the moment it just seems like you want a bit of everything (Autosalon entry?)

It will look hot when its finished will cost you though. As above you will need upgrade Fuel system, ECU, boost control, AFM, clutch, ECT check out the tuning guide in my sig it may help

cheers

my advice would be -

1. buy the car

2. drive the car for a while

3. start to think about mods

its all pretty hypothetical at the moment, especially seeing as though you're only just thinking about importing now. have a look (search button) around here at what other people have done, should help you get things a bit clearer in your mind

You do realise it is a major defect to have 18x9" rims on the front? You are only allowed 8" wide rims on the front by law (I think that is an ADR requirement). There is no point in 18x9" really because if you are going to go wider than a 245 tyre (which is about the widest you can get on an 8" rim), then you will probably have problems with rubbing on the inner guards at full lock. I would stick with 18x8" on the front with 235 tyres.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
