Hi Guys,

I've got an R34 GTT with the following basic mods..

  • Turbo back exhaust
  • FMIC
  • HKS BOV
  • Air Pod
  • AVCR running high boost of 0.80 bar
  • Nismo Stune suspension

I am now at a cross road trying to decide what my nex move should be. What do you guys recommend and what are the costs.

depends how much you want to spend and what power you want.

Next step from that is a replacement ecu, nistune or piggy back. That wont really give you any more power. Probably just improve response and be a heap smoother. Your fuel economy may also get better.

Next step is a bigger turbo but depending on your desired power you will need alot of other components to support it. Ranging from 4-8k depending on your choice of parts and labour by yourself or by a mechanic. Also might not be worth it if the car has done alot of kms may need rebuild first then your talking 7-10k for that. By that stage your telling yourself ive gone this far i might want a new plenum, manifold the list goes on.

I say go for a nistune or some other ecu and keep your hard earned cash unless your loaded have some fun then.

hey mate. i am/kinda in the same boot as you are with my 34. heres is the thread i started http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Next-t255192.html

iv only got a few liitle things more then what you have.

i presonally will ditch the AVCR get a PFC which is around $1400ish, followed by injectors (600cc would be looking at $900ish), cam gears and get that tuned up. that should see you with good gains. then dtch the stock turbo for a high flow one or something bigger.

i pretty much have all of the above except by injecteros are only 480cc and thats seeing me at a safe 240rwkw till i get cams and bigger injectors running 16psi.

Really depends on your power goal...

You have missed a fuel pump though - these are vital and should not be overlooked. No fuel = big expensive bang...

If it were me I'd be looking at what you want out of it i.e. do you just want to go faster or want more response etc.

Mods wise i'd get:

- Fuel pump

- Injectors (If power is going >250kw)

- ECU

- Turbo upgrade

All your other supporting stuff like manifolds and plenums should be good until you get really serious.

My 2 cents

AVCR is a boost controller, even with a power fc you still need one, unless you buy a pfc boost kit which would be pointless if he already has an avcr

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
