Hey guys,

i just bought a R34 GTR V-Spec. it should be here around the end of Feb.

i was just curious as to what other mods GTR owners have done to their so that the popo can't slap a defect on their cars.

thanks

that sounds kind of circular.

If you don't want a defect, don't mod it.

If you do mod it, then avoid the mods that can be defected.

Your friendly local tuning shop can certainly advise where the line is and you can figure out how close to skate to it, or over it.

Hey man congrats on the new car,

one thing ive noticed on the gtr is that the twin turbos act really well as resonators for the exhaust so you can buy some really well designed exhausts which flow well and fit snug against the body so it will give great ground clearance (unlike the silvia exhausts which sit sooo close to the ground)

Ive had mine tested and it came out at 88dB @ 5000rpm which is impressive but still howls when you put your foot down

a panel filter in the stock box will flow some great power....although you lose that nice induction sound

a power fc can be hidden well with a nissan sticker put over the logo and be replaced with the stocker if you get an EPA test

bost controller hidden somewhere in the engine bay (a HKS unit is black and dosent seem to be noticed) boost set at 1bar tuned and a low setting (under 1 bar) can be used if you have to remove the aftermarket ECU for the stocker

should get you over 240awkw - 250awkw (mines at 255 with only pods as an extra)

goodluck n enjoy the car

-Johnny

pretty much all the power mods that wont get me a defect, cuz im sick of getting them!!!!!!

i know i can have either a cooler or poddie

i know i cant have any type of boost controller, but is there anyway i can get the boost up without a manual or EBC???

thanks

You DEFINATELY don't need or want an aftermarket intercooler and you don't need pod filters either. They'll just attract attention.

A good start will be to remove the boost restrictor near the boost solenoid (search and U will find) and get a decent legal exhaust including aftermarket dump pipes and y pipe, a high flow cat and a legal cat-back or get a cat-back made. That should get you to about 220rwkw.

Next step would be a pair or 707160-9 turbos, a Power FC (unplug the hand controller once tuned and nobody will know) and a Turbotech boost controller (hidden). That should get you 300rwkw

how much boost does that restrictor hold back, and what will i be getting it up to??

are you talking about the $30 boost controller off ebay. isn't that a bit dangerous for running alot of power???

thanks

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
