Picked up my 34 GTT sedan last week and managed to get it to the drags for a few runs last night, Its a tiptronic and stock as a rock, just wanted to set a benchmark before i start modding it.

Anyway here it is.

Wind- NA

Temp- 27*c

Humidity-81%

Reaction- 1.124

60ft- 2.195

1/4 mile-15.225

Speed-90.1 mph (145 km/h)

If anyone else has tried this and got anything dramatically different let me know, otherwise i hope this helps anyone with the same car who cant find a 1/4 mile, or anyone looking to buy a GTT

that is a bit slower than i expected. would've thought it would've been able to get into the high 14's, even being an auto. where you loading it up on the brakes when you were launching or just punching it when the light went green? reason i ask is i was able to get a v6 magna with just a catback exhaust to run a 14.8 @ 93mph with a 2.187 60ft

The factory tune on the 34 gtt is so restrictive,made for good efficiency/low emissions, thats the idea behind the neo.very low dual stage boost makes it hard to keep power throughout the rev range after gear changes in the auto.thats why i done the 1/4 before a tune and any mods, to see just how detuned it is.Should be low 14s at least after remapping the stock ecu and upping the boost.Should have a new time next sunday,hopefully a lot better.Then ill start modding and keep updating.Could get into the high 14's with a bit more practice,only had a few runs and its the first time in the car.

Hey,

I got a Series 2 Stagea with the Neo and Auto.

I got the slip somewhere but cant find it?

I ran a 16.0 sec @ 88MPH (at Willowbank QLD). The slip would tell the temps etc.

BOG stock, no Pod... no nothing.

Curious, did you just drop it in Drive or use the Triptonic?

Off topic kinda, but I find this funny cause My surname is Gough and Im currently shopping for a 4dr R34 GTT :)

But looking for a manual. But this info is helpful! :)

Cheers

I'm also curious to know if you stalled it up on the line? I took a stock toyota soarer to the strip and ran a 14.3 and I would've though a lighter car with the same power level would be looking around 14.0????

you'll absolutely smash that time once you start tuning it up though :)

Yeah my 34 is bog stock, even the air filter is a genuine replacement.

That was tiptronic launching at about 3000rpm,cant hold traction past that,the 60 footer is the killer because of the lack of lowdown torque.

Thats a bit of a coincidence,ive never even met or heard of another gough haha.

Yeah that was 300rpm launches,anything that it just spins on the line.

I raced a Soarer last week which ran consistently around 15.9-16.1 seconds. An auto turbo 6 i think.

Thats a good time you ran, about on par with the manual 2 door gtt.The 4dr has a bit more weight and its an auto.

  • 2 weeks later...

Sorry if i gave a bit of a bum steer but i put the car in for a tune the other day and found out my car had a boost leak and a few loose parts,got it fixed up and found an extra 10kw at the wheels and less lag with more boost which would change my time a little.

Pulled 160Rwkw (up from 141 after leak was fixed) after a tune and boost increase still with all stock set up including full stock exhaust.

Not bad for $400,plenty faster now,will post new time next week.

Keen to see what the new time is after the boost leak was finished.

I have a 34 GTT Manual Coupe with Front mount 'cooler, apexi pod, 3" turbo-back exhaust and splitfire coilpacks as far as engine mods go.

Best run was a 14.8 down the quarter. Seemed a bit slower than what I was expecting.

Boosting the car in 2 weeks to 10psi but keen to find out whether something isn't right in my 34 or if it's a standard time for non-boosted GTT's.

Yeah that is a bit slower than id expect, maybe just needs a tune, only .400 seconds faster than my bog stock auto sedan WITH the boost and intake leak.

I dont know how many runs you have done but it will improve greatly with practice if you havnt done a lot, But if your experienced than i wonder why the times are so close considering the difference in the cars...

Mr R34 2 door manual with cat back zorst and boost increase (spike to 12, prob only really held 10) pulled 14.0 @ 99mph. Stocko everything else.

Guys most times the real important peice of data is the MPH you pull at the end of the track, as this gives the best indication of what its capable of. What MPH did you run on your 14.8 run Chris 34?

yeah the MPH is an indication of power. when i put my magna down my times varied by nearly a second from my first run to my last (fastest), but my MPH only varied but about 0.5mph). my best MPH was a mid 93MPH on my 14.8 pass.

Hi,

MY r34 gtt auto with 10psi boost and no other mods what so ever.

1st 1/4 14.75

2nd 1/4 14.71 95.84Mph

So the way I see it is that don't be shy to burn rubber

Spin tires at 6k rpm until you see smoke - don't overdo it no point in hurting your car.

Most importantly load up, hold break pedal to the point where your tyres are about to spin.

Leave it in auto - forget tiptronic it isn't better and TURN OFF traction control !

So load up to spinning point and let it rip - remember the tyres are hotter and way stickier than normal dont think that you will just do a burnout

Doing this I startled a few modded awd lancers & rexes - if you out gun them at the start they might bog down and do a shocking 14.5 :) not everyone is a pro at launching - its all in the launch.

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
