Hi everyone, I've also just joined this site and wanted to say hi.

I flew to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and picked up my new toy (R34 GT-R V-Spec) from a dealer then drove it back to Adelaide.

I've purchased a whole bunch of bolt on bits in the meantime (Garrett Turbos, fuel upgrade bits, bigger intercooler, Power FC etc) that I'll be fitting once I get it through inspection.

I'll probably do most of the work myself but I need a good tuner for the Power FC so I'd love to hear everybodys thoughts.

Here are some pics of the car at the dealership before I picked it up.

If you see a grey R34 GT-R with yellow NSW plates while your on the road, come and introduce yourself so I can put faces to the names on this site.

Cheers Pete

Hi welcome to SAU

have you been in the Pasadena area recently? as i think i have seen you a few time. Car looks really clean

yeh I reckon I have been through there a couple of times. Give us a wave next time you see me.

I sometimes ride a full custom black and silver bike through that area, the 'SLED'.

nice ride mate. Welcome to SAU. Looks like the engine has been out, as the cam cover "RB26" is not normally been painted red from memory.

So it's got an oil cooler, HSK intercooler .... what other bits does it have?

How much did u pick it up for? (if you don't mind me asking). It's amazing how there are so many around for under $60k, yet there are still some dreamers asking up to $100k for them.

Enjoy your new toy :teehee:

Price wise your not far off the mark. It has got an oil cooler and HKS piping but a standard intercooler (for now).

Motor hasn't been out though, all R34 V-Specs have red covers while the NUR's have silver ones.

It's also got TEIN suspension so its a bit of a hard ride even on the softest setting.

KAKIMOTO dual exhaust from CAT back, but the front half will get a change too pretty soon.

nice ride you have there..... though why mod it, wouldn't it be quick enough as is hahahaha :teehee:

Hi Glen, you're right it is pretty quick at the moment but I'm a bit of a rev head so it's never quick enough unfortunately.

can my car have your cars babies?

Hi Cara,

I tell you what, you've got a pretty good looking machine yourself so their offspring could look like a baby 2008 R35 GTR.

I think if our cars ever met we would have our hands full trying to pry them apart!!!

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
