Oh, well I am only after an R34 GTR for my company car anyway. When eliteopps mentioned it I assumed he meant R34 GTR Vspec 2.

Importers are really close to having the import plates for the R34 so it shouldn't be long now.

I have a friend with an online japanese account at showatrade where he buys cars. It is pretty expensive for an account it costs $120 for 1 month or $1200 for a year. I can ask him for you. I was going to lease a R34 GTR but because of the price my work won't allow it, best I can go for is a WRX STi

cheers

Hi Contempt HPI have done a few good write ups of the R34 GTR, I have the special issue with it in if you can't get hold of a copy. I find HPI get some of the best info.

Vspec2, not judging you or your car, but I thought the V spec cars deleted the rear wiper? what year is your car 94?

I've currently got an R32 GTR in Japan... waiting to see what happens with the 15 year old rule change...

If I could afford it I would not car what colour an R34 came in.. oh well, can always dream!!

Hi Contempt - I'm not able to get access to scan in the info on the R34 GTR at this stage - I can send it to you by fax if you want? otherwise, I'll continue to see if I can find someone who can scan the article in for me.

Are you still planning on getting one?

I get my R32 GTR about march next year!

Thanks anyway mate, there's heaps of reviews/stories on the net.

Yes I am most definitely still getting one. I am more keen then ever. I just can't import the thing ;)

Anyone know how far compliance is away?

Whoever manages to get compliance plates first is going to be getting a heap of business.

Contempt, below are the companies who are seeking R34 compliance. you will need to contact them to see what stage they are at as this list is now 2 weeks old.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
