Hi ! i am thinking of doing stage 1 performance upgrades for my GTR34 V Spec

Current mods on the car is only a Ganador Titanium Exhaust

i was thinking of geting a apexi power fc and hks ev5 boost controller

roughly how much will this make at the wheels ?

a nice Apexi panel air filter for now

1 bar boost

bp6re copper sparkplugs, pre-gapped to 0.8mm, v-groove, $20 for the 6

perhaps splitfire coilpacks but see how your stock units go for now.

best of luck

yes the panel filter will drop right in.

here is a Greddy one for $80

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Greddy-Trust-Airinx...=item414dd9ec5a

injectors for under $600 delivered

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supr...=item27b0a5158f

coilpacks for $400

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Performance-Coil-Pa...=item19b8125d38

Im using siemens 550cc injectors for my rb26 track car, got them from ebay usa new for $363 delivered.

z32 new air flow metres, $170ea delivered

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VG30dett-z3...sQ5fAccessories

Up to you if you drop in larger injectors or not, but IMO Id keep the intercooler standard for now, air box standard just with a topbrand panel filter,

Sparkplugs I mentioned are good for 300rkwk so definately grab them, cheap but perfect. NGK BP6RE .8mm copper

Power-fc tune will cost around $450, and your stock airflow metres (and coilpacks) should be fine up to around 280rwkw

nope what Ive listed for you above WILL be fine for R34 GTR

panel filter, sparkplugs, injectors, afm's,

coilpacks yes - r34 gtr is same as r33 gtst, see here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YELLOW-JACK...eQ5fCarQ5fParts

you'll be right ! I got a set of yellowjackets for my r32 rb26 for $148 delivered !

if you do injectors, coil packs (if needed), air filter, new spark plugs, and z32 air flow metres, then tune the power FC for 1bar you should be right on 250kw

however new injectors, air flow metres and coil packs most likely are not needed for Stage-1 tune

all the best

apexi power fc and d jetro any huge differences ?

PFC 'L-Jetro' retains AFM and will accept range of AFMs such as Standard to Z32 units.

PFC 'D-Jetro' deletes AFM and use 2 MAP sensors on the inlet plenum - plenum will have to be removed and 2 holes drilled for the sensors to slot in.

For your power goal, get L-Jetro as it's pure 'plug and play' no piss farting around - you can even install it yourself in 30 minutes. There are couple of units up for grabs on FS section of this forum.

D-Jetro unit is $1,900 to purchase then you'll need to pay for plenum removal and drilling so that is $$$ job. Should you crave for more power when standard AFM decide to maxed out, just buy a pair of Nismo AFMs for $900 and it's 'plug and play' so saving lot of money in labour.

250kw at wheels, EBC isn't needed, just take out the boost restrictor off (will give you the boost pressure rated on actuators which is 14psi - located on drivers side of the engine bay, next to fuse box), decent quality panel air filter, a pair of cam gears and PFC + Tune (seeing you've already got exhaust).

Preventive maintaince such as coilpacks is a good idea (have read that few 34's have coilpacks failed), I wouldn't know if worth getting yellowjacket thing over decent brand as Splitfires.

Hope it helps with your desire for more power.

Talk to your tuner and most will tell you just go with PFC as the dejetro will take longer to tune and afm will generally give you better fuel consumption (dont know the details but 3 tuners told me this). But dejetro will be the way to go with you're after high power (in which AFM will be maxed out).

300awhp isnt 250awkw. It'll be close to 220awkw. 1 of my mates just tuned his 33GTR to 0.9bar and got slightly higher than 220awkw. In any case, you will see more than power figures when your car is professionally tuned by someone reputable (response being the main).

It is a R34 GTR - stay away from ebay crap please.

As for further upgrade forget coil packs, forget injectors.

Before anything else you need:

PowerFC/Tune

Cam Gears

Tot: $2,000

Then save up for:

Turbos

Injectors

Decent front pipes (2.5" minimum) & decent Hi-Flow cat

Nismo AFM's

Tot: $4,500-$5,000

Continued OT: Someone asked me that in my FS thread JDM..... co-incidence or is it some inside joke of some description??

Inside joke? I don't understand what you are talking about really. I asked because I saw a GTR for sale with ganador titanium exhaust from Camperdown, that's why.

Hi the car might of been at a dealer at camperdown as i was told by the previous owner it was bought from a dealer in the city. Its a midnight purple the previous owner sold it to me the previous owner was from blacktown

- With cam gears are the tomei ones good ? i was looking at

Tomei Cams

Edited by Tenkin

Cam gears are cam gears really mate. $470 is probably double what you need to spend.

Anything will suffice as they are just a gear with 3 bolts :D

Some of the SAU traders have some for around the $250 marker i think, get those.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
