I spent over an hour going going through perfect run.com for parts and it's roughly $5959.85 for turbo's,injectors,air filterkit,coil packs,fuel reg and fuel pump lol. Yeah i got insurance through just cars already.

Yeah thats before its fitted and tuned - i think you'll be breaking the budget a bit

Btw, welcome to GTR ownership! Breaking the budget on your car is the criteria for entry

Thanks buddy. I owned a 32 gtr before, maybe i can streach my budget to 10 k lol. Also does anyone know what stock boost on a 34gtr is? and if you went over stock boost with a stock ecu would it cause boost cut.

You inbred, learn to spell/punctuate already! :D

Fixed.

Oooh! Dangerous ground! A stray apostrophe in a plural (I mean, "disc's" - honestly!) means you have opened fire on one foot, whilst putting the other firmly in your mouth. :)

Meanwhile, on the topic: Don't forget that the stock systems were supposedly built to manage up to 500 hp (375 kw). So the intercooler should be fine, as should the cat. The turbos should also manage it (just), but you would probably be better replacing them. So, using Michael's shopping list:

hks gt2530 or hks gt-ss - OK

nismo 740cc injectors - OK

power fc - or consider one of the re-programmed chips that are coming on the market. That keeps the factory protection systems for the engine (see recent HPI Magazine).

nismo afm or similar (or if u go the djetro pfc u wont need them) - stock would probably do it (just), so only replace if it is shown to be needed.

hard piping kit - For intake, I assume you mean. Nismo is nice, but expensive. There are other things which give more bang per buck. Definitely get a pod filter kit. The APEX'i Power Intake system is good and good prices around. Other kits come with hard piping too, e.g. HKS. Don't forget a cold air partition.

turbo back exhuast- You can get good APEX'i and HKS systems for a good price which include a front pipe - then wrap the front pipe! I was told I could also get another 30 - 40 hp by changing my stock cat, which contradicts other advice I was given, so I have not got around to it yet to check.

ebc (can recommended blitz sbc-id3 ) - can recommend Greddy Profec B Spec II - good prices around too.

aftermarket clutch (i have a preference for nismo twin plate) - My stock clutch is managing at 370 hp atw - but only just!

intercooler - definitely don't need for that power - stock is fine.

Run it for a while with stock suspension, which is good on the V Spec. Then see what you want. Ditto stock brakes - they are a great system to begin with. I have just had a modified oil catch can fitted, feeding oil back into the sump, and am about to get an oil cooler. Both of which are essential for track days. (Anyone else thinking of going to WASCC Tuning Day on Monday?)

I am happy living with the stock interior for the moment, which is all good, but have one or two items in mind for possible change.

We will have to have a Bayside Blue get together - maybe by the side of the bay?!!

Cheers. :w00t:

Funny how that happens - isn't it!! There just seems to be a steady flow of things to buy, once that bug bites! But - the R34 GTR V Spec - what a glorious canvas on which to paint your personal ideas - so ignore everything I said and do your own thing!!!

We should still get together by the blue bay side, though!

Cheers. :)

Thats right!

You start off thinking "Well, ill get one of these gtr things, they're pretty fast. then maybe ill give it some more boost and see how that goes"

A week later mine had new exhaust inc front pipes, ARC airbox, new ECU, 15psi "mmm, this thing goes well. I dont get beaten by much on the street now, i like this"

Few months later "hi mr mechanic, i want a full on rb26/30 build, forged everything, all the baffling in the world, triple plate clutch, highmount single, an easy 385kw atw or bust. Whats that going to cost me? Ok, here's the keys, call me when its ready"

I had a budget once too. Notice i said "had" ;)

Just when you think your one is quick you go in a mates one and it demolishes yours. So you spend even more again. Then do the brakes. Then the gearbox. Then a cage incase you fling it off a mountain pass at dawn. Then endless tyres and fuel.

I wouldnt have it any other way ;)

I once said I only need a car to get from A to B. I once said I'd get an import but wouldn't do much to it because of the cost of insurance. I once said I'd be happy with 300hp at the wheels tops.

Lie to yourself, man. :)

Do you have a bayside blue vspec aswell? lol Yeh I'm hanging to go on a track day let me know when. Thanks for the advise i want to make 450 rwlhp but i was thinking of buying everything in one go but I'm running low on funds, need to sell my previous car still. Any one wanna buy a honda s2000? 26k ono lol. I think the first thing im going to do is get a pwr fc and a apexi intake kit. How much power do you think i should expect from those mods and a dyno tune?

With 1bar boost id say around 265rwkw

(thats assuming a full exhaust already)

Do the 'zorst and intake, then the Power FC and EBC. Do the latter two together, 'coz then you only need one tuning session. That is all I have got and I make 370 hp atw on high boost of 1.3 bar (19 psi). And yes, I have a Bayside Blue V Spec II. ;)

Cheers. :(

how much did your car cost buddy? how many kms on it if you don't mind me asking..

I picked up my GTR today :) Its looking good. Just went for a cruise through town and tried doing a few launches but it didn't seem to grip up that good. How often to you need to bleed the 4wd system? Has anyone done a launch in a gtr, how quickly is it meant to get traction?

woot congrats man u seem happy.... i advise u not to launch to much in it if its still got the stock clutch?? i mean they dont cope well with the high rev and dump strain.

get a good twin plate put in and ur set :)

ps: a stock 34gtr runs 0.8 bar boost. so the boost gauge should read 0.8

Thanks bro yeah it's still got stock clutch lol. I was just testing the 4wd system doing about a 4000 or 5000rpm launch but it wasn't taking off hard it was spinning too much.

There's an ATTESSA bleed thing in the DIY section

Not hard to do, go get some matic-D and have a look

Yeah that clutch will hate launches, a nise super coppermix twin plate will fix that right up

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
