Hey guys, I have a 1998 R34 GTT tiptronic and want to be able to increase power out put to 250rwkw and still be a reliable car...so far my mods are minor just a full exhaust system and pod...I have limited knowledge on cars but what do you guys think should be the next step and how much do you guys think it will cost me to acheive this.

My mechanic told me the next step is for a FMIC and EBC which he quoted about $1800 including labor.

Appreciate any help guys. i have been reading the forums but everyone has a different approach to there mods. Could you gimme some guidance as to also which sort of brand/parts to use.

Thanks Guys.

thanks for that Dan saw you r34 also. Too bad your getting rid of it...if i found it early would have considered buying it...Does you set up also include the front mount and boost that i was planning or scrapped? Also how much do you roughly guess all those parts you listed would work out to be...Also with the ECU which one are you refering to for this upgrade...Mine is tiptronic like yours so from reading all the other posts I assume the power FC is not what I looking at.

Thanks again

OK

yep a front mount would be needed...so basically the costing would be

FMIC - $600

GTR Fuel Pump $200

GTR Fuel Reg $50

Splitfire Coil Packs $500

Deatschwerks 550cc injectors (drop-in) $600

Z32 Air Flow Meter $300

HKS GT-RS (I prefer the 2535 though) $1400-$2500 (Age/condition complete kit or not)

ECU upgrade $500

Tune $600-800

Labour (DIY is more fun and less costly) $1200-1800

The only real option for the Auto is to use a daughterboard ROM...such as Bikirom or some of the Nistune ones getting around, or go piggy-back like e-manage for slightly less control of what's going on.

Yep it adds up quickly :whistling:

Check out my sig, u have 250+ right there..

Audio adds easy 100extra kws so maybe 350 if your lucky lol

Expect perhaps 7-8 grand.. You wont need a power fc but a emanage instead which ultimate would be the best expect 800 for it.. its not a cheap trip and who knows if its worth it but the smile it brings to your face.. well lets say I only get that smile when I drive or when I know im gettin sexy times.. its that good.

Thanks for the info guys, With regards to the GTR pump and regulator think I will try and source a second hand one but other parts maybe brand new as I said limited knowledge...With regards to the pump and regulator does it matter from which GTR or needs to be 34 model is there a difference...Also is it better to fork out a bit more and buy an expensive FMIC for the upgrade...Also with re to EBC...tossing between Apexi AVR-R (looks good) or GReddy Profec B spec 2 (looks like my timer)? I plan to get my work done @ Fussy's in lansvale but I am scared they maybe ripping me off. Do you guys know of any reliable mechanics able to help someone with limited knowledge like myself. There are unlimited number of FMIC's out there and someone recommended the Trust Spec M for my car...Thinking maybe fork out abit more for a HKS.

Oh Decim8 are you serious an Audio system can help with that much gain!?!? lol

Thanks guys

lol r34ftw they giving you shit...

in no way possible can an audio system give you extra kw.. best it can do is shuffle your car when your in neutral and you got two 1000W 15inch muthas on full ball...

or the mtx jackhammer 32inch with a porthole the size of your head...

but yes made me laugh all the same

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
