I dropped my R34 GTR off at Red R Racing yesterday morning for some bolt on upgrades at the hands of DirtGarage (Paul) and co.

Ive had a few people show interest in my planned upgrades so I decided to start up a thread for those interested. Thread will include plenty of pics and final results with a full mod list at the end to accompany dyno results.

A few of the parts going in, more to arrive - see below

More parts are expected to arrive over the next couple of days including Cam Gears, Vipec ECU, Tech Edge Wideband AFR controller, injectors, oil catch can and a few other bits. Will post up pics when they arrive/go onto the car.

Cheers

320AWKW but we will see how it goes. Dont want anything too crazy, bottom end is stock.

As for response loss on RPM, time will tell. Hopefully not much though, will post full results so will be able to compare to my stock turbos.

maybe i am wrong but aren't your chosen turbos HKS 2530s equivalent, but GT-SS which have less lag make 320 awkw easily..

in fact there are a second hand pair in classifieds that made exactly that?

Bakes, Matt was having trouble keeping his mind on the job...every now and then he would stand back and admire your car. He's been around plenty of tough GTR's and to see him drooling over your car was a laugh.

Have been over and over GTSS vs -5. Not going over it again. I did my research, I wanted -5s, I bought them. Please keep turbo selection out of my thread.

haha, Good stuff :down:

I am excited to see the results of this, great stuff.

Quick question, with regard to the wideband, why did you not go with the Innovate Motorsports WB which is reccommended to be used with the Vipec ECU's? Geniune question, I am not just being a d**k.

Mike

PS: in comparing dyno runs details of AFR and ignition advance would be good to get more of a direct comparison.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
