Hi, Dont want to hi jack this thread but as it has not been updated in a long time i wanted to mention that we will be making a large amount of R34 carbon accessories very shortly. Very keen to hear ideas as well. Our prices will be very competitive with outstanding quality.

any chance of doing this again ?

i want me some 33 gtr door sils :)

We also have R33 stuff available. I am just doing the final testing on the door sills as we speak. :)

Hi shane

im after an r34 bootlid in black carbon.... really want one bad. been tryin to get one for ages, but as usual no one in aus has them or make them. and freight would cost a fortune for that sort of item to be brought over from UK or Japan.

im sure if you can get a mould made up and get some in stock you would have no trouble selling them. i would def be your first customer for one.

ohhh and while your at it a Gtt shape wing in carbon would be awsome to go with a carbon boot lid. or better yet a one peice boot and wing set up (with wing moulded to boot all in carbon would be a wet dream come true...lol)

also if you wanted to go one step better than those bootlids already on the market in japan you could smooth off the rear of the boot lid (delete the brake light and key barrel hole)

ive been getting sick of waiting for one to be supplied in aus so i have even been thinking of making my own mould and doing the job my self, but i dont want to use my boot lid for the mould and wreck it. hint hint to anyone out there with an r34 gtt boot lid and wing to donate.

thanks

Justin

Ok Justin thanks for those comments. I'll have a look into it. But the hardest problem with R34 stuff is trying to find the donor items without a ridiculous price tag. If anyone is willing to donate parts we shall replace them with a carbon fibre item.

Shane

yep I am after a boot lid (and possibly spoiler) too. I am also after a vented bonnet and possibly a GTR style front bar to fit a GTT.

I have a 4 door R34GTT - does anyone know if the bootlid is identical to a 2 door? I assume it is.

Ok thanks for the feedback guys.

We are in the middle of making a Z-Tune style hood for the R34 as well. I bought a brand new R34 hood off Nissan to ensure the best possible fit.

We also have the Top Secret front bar for the R34 (also moulded off an original) which i have to say is one of the best ive seen. Even comparable with the GTR.

PS - Im not sure about the boot lid either.

Shane

oooooh yeah put me down for a Top Secret front bar! Can you do it in carbon fibre style? And a Z Tune carbon or frp bonnet.

Thing is, we all want this stuff cheap :devil: If you price it right you will sell tons of it!

We can make the bars out of Carbon Fibre yes. The price will obviously be much higher though.

We strive very hard to have very affordable pricing with outstanding quality.

Anyone at Drift Fest would have been able to view our products first hand.

Hey guys

Nice to see this thread is still going on... pity I can no longer be of any service / help in this department - mates overseas had a bit of a falling out and are no longer in the game (shame really).

Anyways, looks like PSI Parts has it sorted; will be interested in a few of the parts mentioned myself actually. PSI Parts > are you in Sydney? My R34 is in pieces right now so if you are, donor parts are all available.

And for the guy who asked about the boot; no they are not the same...

quick satanic hurry and send your bootlid and wing off to psi parts so we can all get our grubby hands on some carbon for our r34 rear ends. i cant wait!!! plus look on the bright side, you will get free carbon fibre panels for your donor parts.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
