Hey guys this is my first post!. I have a 2005 G35 coupe, but thats not what I have a question about. My friend has a 2001 Nissan R34 GT-T, and he is looking to upgrade the turbo. He is looking for more power than the stock ceramic turbo offers. He told me that there is no "turbo kit" made for his car, and that most of the pieces have to be custom made, is that correct? Also the turbo he wants to put on the car is a Garrett GT3670, what do you guys think about that turbo for street use?. Currently he had an apexi turbo-back, apexi filter, ecu, front mount ic, and step colder plugs. Also he plans to put cams in the car. Let me know what you think of this set-up, and if you know of any parts pre-fabed for this car for a bigger turbo like turbo piping, intercooler piping, exhaust manifolds, ect. Also we are located in the United States, so there are not too many shops around here that have answers for skyline questions.

Thanks in advance,

-Tom

there are HKS kits like the GT-RS and the GT 2835 Pro S that are made for the R34 GTT. maybe not as big as your planning, but they will have good response :devil:

and remember its still an Rb25, and alot of r33 turbo kits should bolt up

I talked to my friend again, he said he wants to make more power than this kit offeres. Do you know of any other kits, or have links to people who did custom turbo setups?

-Thanks again

You havent really said how much power he wants.

If he wants between 270-310rwkw(housing size depending) i would advise him to get this:

Yea, that is basically what I was looking to find? Is this a good kit? I mean it is HKS I see no reason why it wouldnt be good. Anyone try this and have good/bad luck? Also he is looking for around 400-430whp. I had to look up what kw is because we dont use that in the us, but he would want like 300+kw. He is also looking into getting a set of cams if anyone could tell me a good brand.

Thanks again guys.

any r33 kit fits a R34 with no issues.... sell about 6 a month to r34 owners...

What kit are you talking about? Also my friend would like to find a kit that has a top-mount turbo, is there such a thing??

Also if you guy want to see some pics, I am probably going single turbo on my G35 coupe!

GT30/40 should be enough, its been done with low mount manifold as well, if your friend wants to be a sleeper...this setup will suit your friend most since he wants to get cams upgrade.

I use GT35R but a lot of timing have to be taken out, have lots of lag and no cams upgrade, as the minimum tune possible is already around 300rwkw,, changing cams would slighylt increase power, and engine goes kapoof

Lots of good info on the forums.

maybe your friend should be actively researching himself?

But yes, HKS 2835 Pro S or HKS GTRS are good.

And you can get top mount or low mount.

Just get a manifold to suit.

We are having trouble finding quality top-mount manifolds, only the ones on ebay. Who makes a good top mount manifold?

(also I try searching through threads, but how do I change it so that I can see everyones post, as of now I have to click on each individual post)

My friend decided to get a polished Garrett Gt3076, and he got a manifold from these guys http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fl...intake+manifold

I think he is somewhere on this forum, but hasnet posted in this thread, he plans to have all of this work done sometime inthe begining of the new year. I'm sure he will start a build thread soon, and I will try and get a photoshoot of both our cars after we both get are turbos installed.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
