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

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
