Hi all,

I own an R34 NA GT sedan (got 3 kids). Great car, I love the sound as I pull out of the drive way - just as I accelerate I can feel the power kick in. Used to own a '96 Toyota Camry mind you.

Looking to put an air pod filter in, new panel filter, bigger cam gears and get a new paint job. also need to change the water pump and timing belt. atm it's gunmetal grey. Stock except for the rims. Can't wait - need to save $$$.

Looking forward to learning more and meeting some interesting characters.

Cheers,

Anna

Hi!

Wow... A mum buying an R34... You don't see that very day! :thumbsup:

Nice to see you've got some tuning ambitions... I don't know what the go with NA is, but if you've got VCT (Variable Cam Timing), I'd advise you keep it, it helps with midrange power, something which is even more vital without a turbocharger... I'm doing some work to my R34 turbo manual sedan... I'm doing my darnest to keep my VCT, with tomei poncams...

Howdy,

Yes and you can imagine the looks I get. Esp. from the youngens in their tricked up lancers and what not. I'm 23 and asian so that doesn't help because they think I'm some ditz in an R34 who just turned 18.

But yeah I'm easing my way into the car scene. Wasn't really into the whole business until I got one, now I just want to do all these things. but I know I need to slow down and research.

I think first thing's first, timing belt and water pump need to be changed because I've reached just over 100k in kms and have recently changed ignition coils to splitfire coils. Fiance (he owns an R33GTST) told me when you change the coils its best to change the timing belt and water pump as well. What are your thoughts on that?

I want to respray the body Burple (Blue/purple) . Still researching on how I should go about it. Any ideas?

Not sure which cam gears are actually in there so I should find that out before I do anything.

Thanks for your advice Mark, hope we can talk more =)

Cheers,

Anna

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
