How to get a performance upgrade for under 6k for your R34GTT

1. $50 for an ad in carsales to sell your car

2. Free to search car sales for a GTR

3. $60 Tank of bp98 to get to said GTR owners house to view car

4. $X amount of money for aforementioned GTR (obviously not as much as an R34 GTT will cost stock).

5. $Stamp duty

6. $ Taxi to get to house of GTR owner to pick up your new car (If possible and not contstrained due to owner being over east)

This will get you about 2 x the performance and over 9000x more enjoyment.

Feel free to add to this list.

I have made the change and a few others also ^ refer to Gersfan.

I'm going to assume that you are talking about getting a R32 GTR since it would be achievable for money he is talking, believe it or not, maybe he doesn't want to go from a fairly newish car to something that is 20 years old and will probably end up costing him more money once 20 year old parts start letting go.

He asked for 6k onto his car, not telling him to sell his car.

It really depends. How much power you are looking for man? I would go a MAP sensored ECU to avoid having to uprade the MAF everytime you want more power etc. But you will definately need a better fuel pump. Some nismo injectors as everyone else has suggested (only because of their spray pattern and they use stock wiring harness) and of course a bigger turbo. An easy bolt on HKS gtrs would be perfect. PM-R33 who just posted before me make between 260 and 270kw with it and it is very responsive. Unless you are talking bigger power then I would go the HKS 3037 or something around that area. But like I said it depends how much power you want to make and if you want it responsive or not. There are SOOOOOOOO many things you could spend the money on. Ive already put a shit load into my car and Im still putting together shopping lists :blink:

Then when you blow your stock turbos and pay a mechanic a grand in labour and 2 - 3 grand for a new pair of turbos only to realize you now have turbos that can push alot more air and need a tune. At this point you decide you may aswell get injectors, what are they worth these days a grand? maybe z32 afms to match, another 600, how bout a fuel pump? walbro going to be enough? may aswell do an external setup theres another 400 bucks atleast, plus the labour.

All because you wanted to run 1 bar on your stock turbos to beat a stock little evo when all you really wanted was to make your GTT faster.

And in the end the evo still won. Take my word, Ive been there.. But was lucky enough to be driving the evo :blink:

And now back on topic, I would start off with doing the front/dump/cat if you have not already then move onto a fuel pump, boost tap, highflow turbo and a tune. You could probably get away with that for half what your looking at spending and net yourself a respectable 230rwkw. If you have already got a full exhaust invest the money into a Z32/walbro/injectors for another easy 20kw. In all theory your current setup is good for roughly 160rwkw? enjoy and GL

Nistune

550cc injectors

Z32

Fuel pump bosch 040

Hypergear hiflow or HKS gtrs.

seems you have done a few hypergear turbos. Been reading about them here

i consistently hear that cheap turbo upgrades should be avoided, and its virtually half the price of a GCG (i think).

you install them. Work with them. i got 185rwkw bit under 12 psi stock turbo with the usual support mods. Wouldnt mind a solid 220 or whatever it can (40rwkw gain should be noticeable which is my only requirement - a kick in the pants) Highflow is as far as ill take the modifications with this car (r33 gtst s2). Had any fail? install a headache? (ill be paying someone to do it all ie labour blow outs...)

Do you rate in your opinion as worthwhile ignoring the fact they are considerably cheaping than other options available. Seen many fail? ill spew if i went the cheap option only to have to do it again in 6 months....

Any comments from someone in the trade is appreciated. Im not after massive kw's just something that is up to to task without pushing it to its limits ( as i am now with the stock turbo).

Cheers.

Yeah again every thing is relative the turbo is cheaper but the Hypergear is not a true bolt on as it requires different intake piping and oil lines so it costs a bit more to fit than a GCG but is still within the means of any DIYer. For what you want i would get the smallest highflow and aim for 230rwkw.

Hey I bought A R34 Gtt around 6 months ago. I have already put a Greddy front mount on it and a Kakimoto exhaust.

I was just wondering what other upgrades could I do for under $6000?

That's a bit of cash there.

How many kW's you want :)

Just to name a few.

Boost controller

APexi Power FC

Upgrade upgrade your turbo

You thought about suspension / brake / drivetrain / wheel mods?

Unless you have it.

i like this plan but with a GCG highflow. ease of fitment. i would do it if i were keeping my stagea,

Yeah cause of his power output i said the hypergear, the GCG ones do make more power though.

Well the high flow still using stock housings so they do bolt back with no modifications. The only reason that Daniel's had a different comp housing is because he sold his old turbo and I've built him one with only a turbine housing. For every one who did sent in a complete turbo did fit back the way it was with all fittings bolt up.

Most People chose to have the basic high flow, which is better in response with slightly less on top end. We do have powered up options, and bigger turbine housings at additional costs. its not about we can not high flow a turbo with more power, Its about options that people choice plus amount wish to spent to do this “high flow”.

The test car I bought had 5 cracked pistons, which have wasted lot time. engine's currently overhauled, it will be back n running shortly. Which I will prove results of the latest developments.

P.s. There has been a turbine shaft update in the RB25det high flow profile. should see a power increase without lag. I have 2x customers comming your way Trent, see how they goes.

Follow this guide.

Basically

1) Exhuast

2) Intake

3) Boost controller + upboost

4) ECU upgrade

This is pretty much the limit you can take the stock 34 turbo. Should see anywhere from 240 - 270rwhp out of it.

After this your going to have to get Injectors, Turbo, AFM, Remap and other little things like cams to push the power further which costs a lot more dosh.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
