First and foremost i just want to express respect for you guys on this forum, if i didnt find this site i would be lost when it comes to working on my car.

Second. I know i could find all the necessary info by searches but i would like to debate some options and decide what is better, so please dont turn this into "DO a search thread"

I guess i should tell you guys a little about me, I live in Japan currently and i have a 1999 R34 GTR Vspec. I absolutely love my car and at this point i have a decent amount of upgrades. I have an Upgraded HKS Intercooler, HKS Oil cooler, Aragosta Suspension, Upgraded Ignition, AP racing 6 piston brakes, Kakimoto Exhaust, Upgraded Intake and filters and thats about it. I am looking for the 500WHP range and would like to get some opinions on how to do that as reliable as possible. I only drive the car about 100-150KM a week. I have just ordered a HKS Dual Plate clutch(my stock one is slipping) the car has 64000 KM on it now.

I just bought a Head and cams that are used and supposedly the head has been port and polished but there are no flow numbers for it, so i need to get a reputable shop in australia to send the head to, to get the head flow tested. I know what your going to say, Why buy a head that you dont know, Well... I got a really, really good price, so in my opinion it is worth the risk.

I would do the work in Japan, but, its hard to get shops that speak english and as good as my Japanese is, its not nearly good enough to explain that i need detailed work done to my car.

Lastly, Yes my car will, and can be dynoed, so i will be putting a Power FC and taking it to a shop, I hope my sign language is good enough to explain DYNO, but ill figure something out because i dont think i can send it to australia for that one as easy as a head, so whatever you guys suggest i will have it tuned.

I think that is it, i really appreciate any help in advance, and i hope that this thread comes up with some great info. Thanks again guys, and a little off topic, but i want to plan a vaction in Sydney next year, any good places i should visit?

Thanks again,

Jason

Sure i can guilt toy, ill send over my Japanese books to you, now all you have to do is study almost non stop for a year, speak fluent Japanese, buy a plane ticket to Japan, and well and thats about it.... In the bigger cities here getting a hot Japanese Girl is about that easy, and the fact that your into Japanese cars like the Skyline actually help, so... When can i expect you?

Hey mate,

Nice car you have :).. In order to make that power and make it all day every day without having to worry about anything isnt that hard as long as you have the cash and by the looks of the car and the upgrades you have brought it shouldnt be hard.

Personally if it were me and you want 100% piece of mind id take it to a mechanic and have the internals changed to forged items. Upgrade the turbos GT-R's are probably one of the cars that have the most turbo options availible to it. Next is the Injectors, ECU, Fuel Pump and id get a oil cooler and filter relocator for wank value.

ECU for that power level a Apexi Power FC would be fine. Install a thicker head gasket.

500hp @ the wheels is a good figure and it will do you nicely. hell GT-R's go hard enough as they are.

skyryn3, thanks for the info, i think those are some great ideas. I was looking at buying a N1 block for about 1500US, i located it near Tokyo so shipping would not be too expensive. I found JE Pistons and Eagle rods for about 1200US. Do you think the Stock Crank for the RB26 could handle 500WHP every day without worrying too much? Also, i like doing my own work, i want to build the car myself(for pride reasons) If i have the pistons and rods balanced, do you think i would have any problems putting the internals together myself, is it that difficult??? If it is, i suppose i would just have them put the internals and the head on and i would do the rest.

2BNVS, Yes i do, but most of them are girls and wouldnt be able to translate very well considering they dont know what a turbo is, i know isnt that crazy? I found some 2530 turbos for 500 bucks, BUT and here is the huge but, the guy that had them on his car, drove the car like he stole it. So i dont know how beat up they are. Is there a shop in australia i can send them too to get rebuilt???

Thanks again guys, i can see my car getting faster very soon.

You can find an amazing amount of answers by using google like this:

"site:skylinesaustralia.com stock crank strength" or

"site:skylinesaustralia.com turbo rebuild shop" or

"site:skylinesaustralia.com rb26 rebuild thread"

(or site:gtr.co.uk)

I'm not being facetious. I don't know the answers to your questions but I know how I could

find them if I spent a few hours. In a day I could probably assemble a pretty comprehensive

plan for such a build, just from these types of searches.

There was another guy living over in Japan and posting on here, he seems to speak Japlish well enough to get HKS to built a motor/car for him.. might be an idea to have a search and track him down as he might be able to help you out and any money that you don't spend on shipping things to Australia and back, is more for bigger and/or better mods :)

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA

      The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
