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, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
