Now I know that theres a large market of mods for R32's and R33's out there, but how are things on the R34 front?

I know you can make your car go as fast as you want it to depending on the size of your wallet etc.

But what kind of mods would have to be done to an R34 GTT to match/better an Evo 6 or other "quickish when stock" cars.

Im asking because availability of mods is something I need to consider when I get a skyline.

much appreciated

Execute flaming now.

Hey,

I have just swapped over from a 180sx that has an unlimited list of aftermarket goodies available to an R34 and I was quite suprised the lack of available parts and options for the 34, sure you can get alot of parts but there isn't much variety if you know what I mean.

But on the other hand I have found they respond very well to mods.

The only let down is the turbo, but there is a sponsor on here that does a Hi-Flow version quite cheap.

As you stated it all realy depends on one's budget.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Josh

generic cooler kits, turbo kits, injectors, universal fuel pumps, coilovers, ecu upgrades, wheels, gauges, exhaust systems..... i cant really see it a problem getting any of these to suit a R34 GT-t.

If you buy Japanese, or name brand, you shouldnt have any issues with finding stuff.

Greddy (Trust)/Blitz cooler kits

bolt on Garrett turbo upgrades to suit stock manifold or a Greddy/Trust kit.

Injectors (Nismo/Sard etc)

Bosch/Walbro/Nismo fuel pumps

Tein/HKS/G4 coilovers

Power FC/Haltech/Microtech/Wolf/Autronic ecu ugrades

Wheels, anything Jap like Volk/Rays or a GTR wheel

Gauges, (Blitz/HKS/Defi/Greddy/Autometer)

Exhaust, maybe X-Force does a bolt on kit, otherwise something Japanese.

Would be as easy to mod a R34 as it would any Skyline Id say, especially if your willing to buy brand new. Obviously the second hand market wont be any where near as strong as the R32/R33 market as the R34 hasnt been around as long.

Its already pretty big. Prices of R34s have dropped in the past year making it a more affordable for R32 nd 33 owners to upgrade to.

Lack of parts? I don't think so...there are so many online traders/sponsors importing stuff in from Japan its not funny..I struggle to resist throwing more $$ into the 34 every single day :)

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
