Hey guys,

Just wanted to share my excitement with everyone, i just finalized the deal today on the R34. I'll be picking it up next week and bringing her home about 500km's and i think ill enjoy every minute of it!

2001 R34 GTR V-Spec II

56000Km's (books)

Auction Grade 4.5 (Basically Near New)

Dead Standard (Not for long)

And here are some pics! Tell me what you think :rolleyes:

HOT HOT HOT!!! Love the Bayside Blue... Did you buy that from Peter @ Pyrmont by any chance?? Same guy I bought mine offf... He got a Bayside Blue one recently, I considered waiting for it but was too excited so I just got the Titanium!! Congrats! Looks mint :/

Haha thanks! I got this direct from an importer. International Motor Group i believe they are called, really outstanding service thus far i couldn't be happier :P I can understand your excitement, i cant wait until next week!

Holy Carp, what do you do to own the cars you do at that age? ^^^

OP: Very nice :P Given free reign, that's exactly the car I would buy. Yeah chuck on an exhaust, but plan thoroughly if you're gonna mod it :P

Honestly i've just been lucky having an opportunity to make reasonable money earlier on, i'm actually a uni student. I am thinking very carefully about mods, at this stage i'm going to get Cam gears, Power FC D-Jetro (Spelling?) and a full exhaust (Dumps / cat etc) as they get a huge power and potential increase from those mods from what i've been told. After that i'll be happy for a fair while i think :)

PowerFC D-Jetro? No.

You want a standard PowerFC. The D-Jetro is for people who replace their AFM's with MAP sensors and this is not something you want to do on your car. Maybe if you were chasing 900awhp

From those mods you will pickup a little hp from the ECU mostly.

Don't bother replacing the dumps the R34 GTR dumps are great and stainless from the factory, you don't need to change these until you do the turbos. Plus they come with great heat shields to keep the heat inside the exhaust improving engine bay temps and exhaust gas flow.

Also - to be honest - I wouldn't buy cam gears. The simple reason is you will probably want cams down the track and it is cheaper to buy the cams and cam gears in a set from Tomei.

So my advice is,

- standard PowerFC - These are cheap as chips for BNR34

- New big Catco metal cat - $440 from JustJap

- Cat back exhaust - Kakimoto or HKS

- Front pipes - HKS

Any more than that and you will need a new clutch, Nismo Super coppermix twin plate is the only one to get imo - $2k mark.

Then later do turbos(HKS), cams+gears(tomei), dumps(tomei) and go nuts

Thanks for that advice mate, appreciate it! Glad i didn't spend money where i didn't have to! I'll get some prices and sort out the exhaust first up :spank:

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
