Here's a few pics of my '99 R34 GTT after a detail

She's stock but in very good 'nick :)

I didn't really detail the engine bay yet but here it is anyway.

The only mod it has is an unshielded pod (don't start, I know :D ). Will be fabricating an airbox for it later.

Also I've noticed that most R34's dash clusters just have blank plastic around the gauges? mine has chrome rings around the gauges and an imitation carbon fiber-ish look about it :D - maybe it was some option that was available? It doesn't seem to look after market to me

Some time has passed - but I still own this car and it has never missed a beat :)

Since the last update, I've had a 3" turbo back full stainless exhaust with varex muffler installed, along with a 5sp manual conversion & new HD clutch, return flow front mount intercooler, boost tee'd it up to 12psi and added a walbro fuel pump. I managed to score a set of xenon lights from a jap import compliance company and installed them - best mod ever. I've also recently had NISTUNE installed on the ECU and will get it tuned soon - runs quite rich at the moment. The wheels are just a cheap stock set I picked up - I planned on having my original alloys resprayed gunmetal grey but never got around to it. But it's on the list to do ASAP.

I want to keep the car looking stock but clean - and up the power output a bit. Will be happy if I end up with 200rwkw or above. Not everyone will appreciate a stock looking Skyline, but here you go anyway.

I do - looks great!! But then again I'm biased :)

Looks like our mod lists are very similar, too. Mine's still auto though but has a tune (199rwkw...sooo close) and some suspension work.

Btw mine was 150rwkw bog stock, around 175 with front mount and turbo back, and the last ~25 is from the boost controller & tune so well worth it.

Keep up the good work!

Definitely needs a tune!!! For interests sake I took my R34 out to a quiet bit of 100kph road and filmed a 0-100 timed run. I've never really gone all the way from 0-100 before at WOT and I was very surprised just how severe the stock ECU was cutting the fuel. Second gear at 4500rpm it started misfiring and straight away I reduced the throttle to around 3/4 for the rest of the run. You can't really hear it in the video, but it felt pretty horrid.

Was a disappointing 8.5 seconds to 100kph, from a standing start without dropping the clutch. Very much looking forward to getting this car tuned..

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
