Hey I've got a series 2 r33.

It's pretty much stock except for splitfire coilpacks and a heavy duty clutch.

I'm getting a turbo back highflow exhaust in the next week or two and am going to get a turbosmart boost controller at the same time and up it to 10psi.

The issue:

For these mods, is it worth getting a justjap cooler for a few hundred more than an r34 smic, or is an r34 smic all that is needed?

Can more boost be run (say 12psi) be run safely through an r34 smic as compared to the r33 smic?

With 12psi is in unrealistic to aim for a mid 14??

Also, does wrapping the dump and front pipe of the exhaust in heat wrap make much of a difference? Is it worth doing?

Thanks to whoever helps me out.

Steve.

I got full exhaust- 14.0 secs flat..

other mods: pod filter.. thats not really a performance mod.. n thats basically it.. 14 flat.. With 18inch rims front, 17inch rears.. lol

Anyways, the 34 cooler will be enough for around 200-210kw..

I wouldnt go past 0.8 bar, till you get your car tuned!!

if you are on a tight budget, add an SAFC in there and get it tuned.

SAFC with the blue screen is worth about $300 or so. Tune is about $150.

install it yourself..

it only has like 6 wires.

comes with instructions.

and you can search and find the ECU pin out diagram for your car on here somewhere..

that way, with your r34 cooler, exhaust, and extra boost, you can have the fueling tuned to make sure it's safe and also gain more power at the same time..

yes.

heat wrap the dump and front pipe if you can.

yes, you can run a 14..

aim higher..

all the above mods should net you about 190rwkw..

that should be good enough for a 13 of some sort.... with a bit of launch practice..

I had a 34 cooler on my 33. Great upgrade really. And easy to do. I fitted mine in the pouring rain without removing anything but the inner plastic guard in no time. Nissan did us all a favor when they designed the R34's cooler.

Wrap the dump eh? I was going to ask this when I changed mine.... anyway, R34SMIC works well for me. I started on 7psi with the manual ball and spring controller, then 9, now 10psi (as I get bored with the power) Seems to be fine, and power doesn't drop off as though there is massive heat-soak or anything.

I'm yet to hook up a temp probe to check this all out though.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
