heyya pplz,

i recently brought an R34 GTT skyline, i did the following mods to it

Cooling Pro Front Mount Intercooler

Drift Custom Pod Filter (underneath my front bar)

after i got these mods my car sounded like it was lagging and fluttering. i was told i had to replace my spark plugs, i got ngk 7s put in, and that kinda fixxed my problem, how eva i was told fitting an exhaust would fix my flutter.

im getting a 3'' Trust stainless steel catback exhaust put on tomarro and i have an Apexi AVC-R boost controller getting sent out to me when that comes in going to get it fitted, then driving down to adelaide to get a tune, i was told boost works is a good place to go for my tuning and boosting?

Also what kinda boost is safe for the mods i made/making?

I just don't understand what people can "tune" as such without an SAFC or similar fitted.. really all you can do is replace/fix any components or sensors that are dud and let the factory ECU do the rest. Make sure your FMIC isn't too large for the amount of boost you're running. Otherwise it's like trying to blow up a balloon from the other end of the hallway, there is just too much space for not much air to travel through.

I'd recommend getting your car on a consult, gathering any error codes and maybe log a few sensors (O2 etc..) and then once you're happy with everything running properly, boost it.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
