hello all, i have a R34 GT-T 1998 model.. 2 door.

some of u probly already posted to my other noob threads but im getting better :D

It is completely stock at the moment and i have a few ideas for it and im in the middle of chasing up quotes etc

some of you may of already seen my posts but at this stage i have pretty much made up my mind i just got a few q's to ease my mind a bit before i start blowing some dosh :)

Basicly this is what i have gatherd so far... im still a bit torn between pod/fmic as the gtt already has a smic good for 200rwkw and thats all i want... i think the only reason i could justify spending the extra money is if im not going to reach my goal with my stock cooler and pod then i can go for a fmic and a performance filter in my box. Also do brands play a part in anything as i have nfi on brands or what to use... and i like the 3" exhaust but if i go 3" all the way it may be too loud but i dont want to restrict flow? im going to contact my tuner today and ring around for pricing so yeh i guess the more info i have the better... is there any advise you guys recommend before contacting shops?

Here is a list of what i have in mind so far.

Nissan R34 GT-T 1998 White

Engine/Performance: 200Rwkw Goal.

Stage 1:

Engine test before any mods. & Dyno run

Sparkplugs/Coilpacks: Replace with new Spitfires/yellow jackets? & Japanese performance spark plugs (ngk irradiums?)

Exhaust: Full exhaust, Dump pipe 3" open bell mouth, 3" high flow cat(info) 3"

Back end high flow muffler (Bigger size cat?) (twin tip) dont want it too loud but still want a nice sound no droning sound etc..

Intake: Pod style air filter, heat shield, cold air intake (use the stock one?) or new front mount cooler.

Stage 2:

Boost increase: Electronic boost controller 10psi constant, remove 2 stage controller.

Ecu/Tune : Nistune software. (dont need to spend big $ for the power i want)

Exterior/Interior - Main WHITE - with colour coded dark/black colours.

18" Shadow Chrome/Black Rims (like the 34 gtr rims too expensive.) buddy style rims?

Front Bumper/Lip: Like the black lip on the bottom of the GTR - series 2 front with lip.

Boost gauge replaced with psi reading boost gauge / replace all gauges.

Pedals: Series 2 style pedals.

New gear shift nob: (stock one is slightly loose in set position)

Suspension: 1" lower after rims are put on possible coilovers? (like how car is handling at the moment just want to lower it)

Brakes: performance brake pads/calipers - to match colour code

Rear wing: Carbon fiber tipping. "on sides of wing and where wing is mounted"

Purchased / Installed

Sound System:

Alpine SPE17CS 6.5" 210watt & Tweeter fronts $140

Pioneer TSA1673s 6.0" 220Watt Rears $100

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
