Hi all, just put some mods on my 1990 32GTR recently with 123ks. So far, I have installed:

  • Vipec ecu running 13psi
  • Blitz pod air filters
  • 3 inch catback exhaust
  • HKS adjustable cam gears
  • sard 700cc injectors
  • bosh 044 fuel pump
  • turbosmart fuel reg
  • nismo fmic
  • vipec boost controller

Everything else stock.

had the car dynoed on shell optimax and it only managed to get 192 awkw. This seems prety low to me with the level of mods i have compared to other owners of GTR's with less mods. Is there something wrong with my motor or is this figure about right? Thanks for your help

There is a whole thread dedicated to RB26 dyno results - a LOT with stock turbos.

Have a look through, you'll soon see what you should be getting with 2-3 pages.

thanks, I looked on the forums, and people are running more power than me with less mods. Maybe the engine is just tired and need a freshen up.

Yeh, my car got 50kw's more in rw mode than in aw mode on the same dyno lol, some dyno's allow for the awkw mode and will read like rw dyno's and some have no correction and will just read the power output at all fours.. Also some will read higher than others because the tuners like them reading that way

That's the shiet thing, some peoples stated awd are actually just adjusted to read like rwd figures, at autosalon for example

I've always wondered about the power loss.. 50kw's seems alot to lose just to the front wheels being on? How can some legitimate tuners get readings on awd dyno's that are only a few kw's different from the same car in rwd on the same dyno

I dont understand why you have done what youve done to the fuel system! For standard turbos! You dont need it. Plain and simple.

For the money youve spent on the fuel system you could have bought a second hand set of hi-flows and made ~270kw.

Forget about changing the dumps, thats stupid, might as well change turbos at the same time if youre going to do that.

Yes do a front pipe and check the cat. Or go de-cat. (Best)

P.S 13psi is scary for 19 year old turbos.

+1 and +1.

Standard fuel system is ok for up to ~280kw (tho fuel pumps get tired so it is probably worth replacing that)

I just blow one of my turbos at 13psi. Conservative tune, 120,000kms. (FWIW they're supposed to be replaced every 100,000kms).

ask your tuner about it. what did he say? do a power run in RWD and see if it makes you feel better. and as above, for up to 280rwkw you can use standard injectors, standard reg and standard pump (providing it's healthy).

Yeah thanks for the advice, I'll get the front pipe and cat checked. I guess I should have asked for advice before I started tuning my car. Learning the hard way :P . I bought the GTR off one of my workmates to resell but decided to keep it instead. When he had the car, he upgraded to 3" catback exhaust. was going to change the front pipe and cat, but my mechanic said that they will be fine cause they are aftermarket. He also did Pod filters, VIPEC ECU tuned running 12psi. The car had a power output of 189awkw. So basically I made 3awkw with the added mods :cool: . Better than nothing I guess

I asked my mechanic about the power output, he said that 258awhp aka 192awkws is quite normal for a car running standard turbos. Well thats a bit of the reason why I changed them as well just to be on the safe side cause the system is getting quite old now. nearly 19 years old. But Im not too sure if they have been changed in the past.

sorry to hear that your turbo blew. what a bummer. I just hope that my turbos hold up for a little while longer

Im just running the stock turbos. I think Mark was going to run them at 14psi, but decided to run them at 13psi instead

Agreed with Femno's comments, spend money on turbo's and dumps next.

FYI i had 15psi, 262rwkw/236awkw

Car was tuned on same dyno by the way.

Was that on aftermarket turbos?? I have purchased some second hand rebuilt GTR33 steel wheeled ballbearing turbos. Just waiting on them to arrive, Its been 5 weeks and still waiting.

Stockers. Other mods (minimal) are in the thread R31Nismoid linked you to.

Turbos's dont take 5 weeks for delivery from within Australia. Contact the seller, get a tracking number

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
