Hi all I have been looking at some R34 GTT and some people have been telling me that its hard to pull out power from this car, I was wondering for those who have R34 whether this is true. I would gather that the car is slightly heavier than a R33 GTST, but what do guyz reckon

Thanks in Advance

I dont see how it would be any different than extracting more power from a 33. The 34 gtt has a slightly bigger cooler and slightly less restrictive exhaust, hence doing a cooler and exhuast to it will reap slightly less results than in a 33 gtst. But then again you have more power and torque to begin with...

$4200 and you will have around 230-250rwkw

FMIC $400 (any cheapy copy)

Turbo Back Exhaust $1000

Slide Turbo $900

Power FC $1000

EBC $400

Fuel Pump $200

FPR $200

Pod Air Filter $100

* Above prices are rough estimates; obviously prices fluctuate and change depending on when you get it and what you get.

It's not hard to draw power from the R34GTT; most of the members here have done the pioneering "research" into what works and what doesn't so all you have to do is read and fork out the cash.

NOTE:

* Auto R34GTTs are a complete headache to modify; I've spent a tonne of hours and dollars going around in circles trying to make things work (yes, one of the pioneers here). So even though you might save a few thousand on the cost of the car; you definitely won't keep that in your wallet for long once you start modifying :happy:

* Manual R34GTT; just follow the conventional methods of modification to any turbocharged car (except for the Cam gears, they do nothing)

Just wondering stan.. besides not being able to run a PowerFC on an auto GTT - why is it so difficult?

lol mate were they wogs driving VLs?

theres so many members on here who have turned their stock 34 into a monster with some simple mods....

34s aint JUST a bigger cooler and a less restrictive exhuast....the engine....compared to a r33 is also better. being a new NEO version of the RB25DET it has alot more advantages over the 33.

aside from all that im sure theres also alot more

i watched a import mag dvd where it showed a r34 gtt being dynoed and it gained an extra 10kws from a turbo back exhaust. increasing the boost to .85 bar gave the rear wheels 200kws

i dunno maybe dats jsut me but i think dats pretty easy.

Well you answered your own question didn't you Howie :happy: 1) It's auto, weak gearbox that will blow up on you if you don't do something about it. 2) The auto zaps a fair amount of power from what you are making and 3) the auto ECU is both a masterpiece and a freak of programming nature.

Sure you can stick with your SAFCs etc but soon you'll realize it just isn't enough. 3 options: 1) HKS F-CON V Pro, 2) PowerPlay Rom Tune and 3) Greddy E-Manage Systems

R34GTT also has a bigger turbo - most of you have forgotten this one which is the main reason for the power difference.

Other things different; the brakes, the suspension, the HICAS system, electronics, NCVS etc etc.

Companies don't release a new variant of a car to make it take steps backwards; they release them to show what new and IMPROVED things they've done to it.

Thanks stan that's what i pretty much though as well. So say i'm just chasing 200rwkw i'd be alright with the tiptronic? I just like the auto cuz i'm a lazy bugger these days :happy:

You'll be fine :happy:

i was told by a 33 owner at dyno day my 34 was putting out the same power as his 33. we had the same mods ,the only difference was he had a power fc and i didn't. i was also hitting r & r. all depends on how much money you throw at it.

him having a powerfc and yours not having one (and hitting r&r) is a pretty big difference in my opinion.

If you put a powerfc on yours (assuming its manual) the gap would open up a fair bit I'd imagine.

Simple fact is, you can get power out of a 33 or 34. They're both very well built and can handle much more than they came out the factory with... :)

I never said they were JUST a bigger cooler an exhaust, i was merely giving an example such as doing an exhaust mod on a 34 compared with a 33...

Any one who thinks it would be hard to extract power from a 34 would have to be nuts

    • 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)
