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)

Now There the basics on whats happening to the engine. Im looking for around 300rwkw's a responsive drive and plenty of tourqe. Work with the cams will be assential as we want the car coming on boost as early as possible. If theres anything I have forgotten to add that I will require please list.

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.

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

[PWND]

my highflow will be for sale as soon as i save enough cash for some injectors

[Sammy34]

hahah sorta need it now lol. Think ill just get my current turbo done. Also means I'll need injectors so mite get a fuel rail done.
