Hey guys,

Ive just bought a R34 GTT tiptronic coupe.

i know the basics about the car.

I currently have a S14 Silvia pushing 200rwkw aswell so i am no newbie when it comes to cars.

I am just wanting help in finding inforamtion about the R34 GTT's, could some 1 maybe point me in the right direction.

Such things as, What turbo it has on it? What are the AR ratios? What kinda timing can you run thru them on 10psi with the stock intercooler?

Are they an all alloy head and block?

Do they have a crank gurdle?

etcetc..

I know SR's quite well but am unfamilar with the neo RB25's and general R34 range. I like to know my cars inside and out so any help on othetr threads, FAQ's other sites etc are appreciated

Ive serached the forums a few bit, but only found limited info

THANKS GUYS

I too need some info on this car... I'm looking all over the place for confirmation of the turbo specs. I want to know what it is, T28, T3, hybrid? I'm being told differing things... I know it's got a T3 flange, but I'm told it's a T28... and I found something that said the A/R's were .60 compressor, .40 turbine, which would make it seem unlike any other turbo I've ever run across. Typically they're reverse of that, and the A/R's aren't an even .40 or .60... like .48/.63 or something like that. This is highly unusual to me. Seems based on the housing sizes, it would be a T3 compressor, and a T28 turbine... with the cartridge being a T3 or T28 BB, I'm not sure there either... ;)

I also want to know the trim, and the wheel sizes if anyone knows.

I've also read there's a series 1 and series 2, with the series 1 being the nylon comp wheel, and the series 2 being aluminum? Which really doesn't matter because the only thing I'm not liking about it is the Ceramic turbine wheel.

I've seen pictures on here if a series 2 R34 GTT turbo that was being sold... but it didn't have the A/R's stamped on it... so that didn't help.

I suppose a Part number might help, but then it might not.

I'm putting this on my USDM S14a 2.4L... I think it should make some pretty respectable numbers based on what I've read so far, and it ought to be big enough for the 2.4L but not laggy... my concern is the damn ceramic turbine wheel, and I'd LOVE to replace that wheel with a aluminum or steel wheel. That's another thing I don't know, is that even possible?

Someone help me out... and don't hate me because I'm from the US... I hate Americans too... believe me... I have to live among these morons... if anything, pity me... and help me out.

Thanks,

But yea ive seen alot of that info already.

Just after specifics etc.

Ive heard things like cant run over 10psi thru the stock turbos, cant run over 12psi.

14psi is fine. etcetc... if i know the specs and what they are made out of etc i can make me own judement if you guys follow what im saying lol.

Yeah I've seen all that info too. It was easy to find. The turbo specs I'm after are HARD to find... I hope someone knows, because I'm putting this turbo on my car if it's worth using. So I want to know exactly what I got for my $240 (USD)... Which seems like a deal, but without the specs, it sounds like a turd that can't boost past 11 psi, with wheels that can't be upgraded to be able to handle more boost without breaking...

If that's the truth then... :( time to sell it to an unwitting american ricer with too much money and not enough brains. I'll tell them it's a Skyline R34 BALL BEARING Turbo and sell it for like $600... ;)

Someone give us some positive info. Or tell me it's a turd and I'll sell it right off.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
