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 :)

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
