Hey there,

just a quick question does anyone know what stock boost is for an R34 GTR? i just got mine and it has a HKS boost controller and im afraid to give the car a good thrashing. So far boost kinda peaks at 1.13-1.15 bar, does that sound right?

oh and also where can i buy an aftermarket panel filter for the stock airbox, like a apexi, HKS or ARC one?

thankyou in advance

hmmm, thanks tez

i dont understand how the turbos cant take more, at 1bar/14.7psi each turbo is only producing 7.3-7.4 psi each which is not that bad, my old s15 i boosted the stock turbo to over 1bar/14-17psi (just on its own)

does anyone have an answer for this???

The S15 runs a T28 garrett

which has steel compressor and exhaust wheels

compared to standard GTR turbos which have ceramic exhaust wheels, and will not take much more than 1 bar

oh and also where can i buy an aftermarket panel filter for the stock airbox, like a apexi, HKS or ARC one?

thankyou in advance

Search for it :). Various forum traders sell the Apexi panel filters.

You can also buy Pipercross or K&N panel filters but they're the oiled type and not legal in Vic :worship:

i dont understand how the turbos cant take more, at 1bar/14.7psi each turbo is only producing 7.3-7.4 psi each

That's not how it works - both turbos are producing 1 bar for each set of 3 cylinders they feed.

so the engine is recieving 29.4psi........i doubt it

No the engine is under whatever the gauge or controller says its under... Mrkotter is correct each turbo produces 1 bar or boost on 3 cylinders, not all of them hence its 1 bar across all six...

please explain further, there is only 1 plenum therefore if each turbo is producing 14.7psi then all the boost pressure will end up in the plenum, how does that work?

and if the gauge is registering just over 1 bar it means that there is a total of 15ish psi entering the engine.

i believe that if the two turbos going into the intercooler are both producing 14.7psi each

They are only producing this off half the air required to run through 6 cylinders, hence having two turbos, each run off 3 cyl each

By having "two lots" of 14.7psi of boost, you are not multiplying it together and gaining 29.4psi

You are just feeding two units of pressurised air into the plenum,

i.e. PSI = pounds square inch yeah??

so if you had 1 inch cubed of 10psi air, and add another inch of 10psi air, you are not getting 20psi

because you now have 2 cubed inches of air, both at 10psi each

make sense??

If there is 1 bar in the plenum then thats how much pressure is against each turbo no matter how many turbos there are.

If you were to try and fill a flat tyre to 30psi with 2x15psi compressors do you think it will happen, I think not, they will reach 15psi (Equal pressure) and stop.

The S15 runs a T28 garrett

R34 GTR's came with steel exhaust wheels... so boost away :wave:

No!

R34 GTR came with BALL BEARING, ceramic exhaust wheel turbo's.

as someone has said above, the stock boost for an R34 GTR is 1 Bar.

so you seeing 1.1 with exhaust etc would be normal.

the only skyline turbo's with steel wheels are the N1 series of GTR.

The only base model GTR to come with BALL BEARING turbo's was the R34 GTR.

so.. what is stock GTR boost for R34? 1 bar.

Edited by GTST

Factory stock boost on a 34 GTR is .9 bar ( a little more than 33 gtr). Stock 34 gtr turbos on standard and V-specs are ball bearing and ceramic exhaust wheels .

Its up to you on how much boost you run on stock turbos ( if you have stock turbos) but I wouldn't go over 1 bar on them. The problem is if one lets go it could destroy your engine because when it lets go it breaks into a million tiny pieces ( like sand dust) that can be sucked back in to the engine .

If you want to get more power for your stock internal engine just buy a pair of HKS GTSS turbos and a power f/c tune that to 1.1 bar and enjoy it, if you want to track it you will need a better cooling system, radiator and oil cooler and better brakes . The problem then you will run in to is the small amount on oil the RB26 sump holds so you will need sump baffles and maybe a bigger sump ... Where do you stop???? When you get sick of spending money on her?? maybe ???

please explain further, there is only 1 plenum therefore if each turbo is producing 14.7psi then all the boost pressure will end up in the plenum, how does that work?

and if the gauge is registering just over 1 bar it means that there is a total of 15ish psi entering the engine.

Simple fluid mechanics, two units of fluid (in this case oxygen), each at their own pressure when combined do not combine pressure. Therefore 14psi from one turbo and 14psi from another turbo does not equal 28psi, it is still 14psi.

mythbusters ahoy!

from the nissan service manual

Use the air gun to blow compressed air approx A ~ B kgcm2 into the hose and make sure the swing valve controller rod operates.

where

HR32 - A = 0.8 and B = 0.9 kgcm2 which is 0.85kgcm2 (average) which is 12.08 psi

BNR32 A = 0.7 and B = 0.8kgmc2 which is 0.75kgcm2 (average) which is 10.66 psi

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

BCNR33 A = 0.79kgcm2 and B = 0.85kgc2m which is 0.82kgcm2 (average) which is 11.6 psi

if someone has the BNR34 workshop manual (not the 15mb version) it will show you the exact specs and which the standard swing valve would operate it

given BNR32 is 0.75kgcm2 and BCNR33 is 0.82kgcm2 which 0.42a/r turbochargers and the BNR34 has 0.53a/r turbochargers (larger) it would be reasonable to assume the stock boost is lower. its probably more like 0.80gkcm2 in stock setup. All of the standard GTR turbochargers are ceramic exhaust wheels (normal & V spec). N1 model has steel wheel (according to my chart) - happy for someone to confirm?

if you want the stock turbocharger specs for GTR you can view them here; http://paulr33.skylinesaustralia.com/docs/gtr-turbochart.htm

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out.
