So thought I'd just start a post on my build for my r34 GTT. Current mods that have been done, Are about to get done and planning. So my cars a R34 GTT, Auto Gearbox and will be staying auto. Current mods are as listed.

Hybrid FMI

Apexi AVCR boost controller

Kakimoto 3"exhaust system with hi flow cat from turbo

HKS Fuel Pump

Turbosmart Fuel Regulator

Apexi intake

Nistune VG30 Chip

standard turbo on 13psi

standard shocks with low kingsprings (will be changing)

slotted rotters all round with red stuff pads so i can stop :(

As of April my build will begin and Im aiming to achieve 300rwkw's on standard internals (with adjustments to the head gasket)

gt35r on high mount manifold

44mm Wastegate

Greddy plenum 80mm Throttle Body

800cc injectors on custom Fuel Rail

Cams (being sourced by mechanic)

Gearbox rebuild with MV Body (possibley changing gearbox, so any info there will help)

Engine management? Power FC?

Also a good engineer to mod plate all that stuff especially the high mount turbo.

Nah using a nistune vg30 chip. Will look at upgrading it if it becomes too much for what im using. But Nistunes from my knowledge have handled up to 500hp as to date.

Did you sought out that brake problem i remember reading a post about you had terrible luck with it.

Good to see your on the rise mate..

haha cheers,

Yeh i soughted the break problem out, it took 4 new discs and a set of red stuff brake pads front and back to fix it.

Mind you the problems were.

Discs wernt machined properly then they didnt bolt the brake caliper up and it came off the second time. Then I got the discs machined and they machined them way way too far, then the rotors warped because of it, iw ent through 3 sets of brake pads front and back and now i need a whole new set of wheel studs because one of the companies I will not name put wheel nuts on that were too small and destroyed 2 wheel studs on both sides of the rear. Havent gotten the new wheel studs yet but the brakes are soughted now thank god.

Its an important lesson that most people should learn from. Dont get brakes done at tyre places enless your 120% sure they know what there doing or lese it wil cost your your arm and leg. And possibley alot more.

If your looking at upgrading brakes go to Brakes Plus at Capalaba, great bunch of blokes and trust when I say, from personal experiance I know that they know what there doing.

So my turbo this morning has begun to give some terrible signs of shaft play. So in the mean time looks like i will be getting a small bolt on for the next couple of months or highflow so i can get from point a to b. Shit always breaks at the worst time... lol

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      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
