Hi all,

We're building a new car for the Queensland Time Attack series. Starting with a pretty much stock 1999 R34, we are adding the following bits to get the output up to around 300-350HP ATW.

We started the build yesterday (08/04/10) and hope to get it all finished in the next few weeks.

Here is the shopping list;

HKS GT-RS Turbo kit

Apexi Power FC

HKS EVC Boost Control

Nismo 480cc injectors

Nismo Spark Plugs

Nismo High Pressure Fuel Pump

Nismo Fuel Pressure Regulator

Nismo Coppermix Clutch

Nismo GT LSD TT 2-way

and here is the progress so far.

Nice, gotta love a quick turnaround.

Some nice parts you have there, Looking forward to watching the progress.

Is it going to be a track only car?

What times are you hoping you will get out of her?

Thanks for the support guys! We are planning to get to the injectors and fit up the turbo this afternoon. Pics to follow!

Duncan1 - We will keep it road registered and we hope to break into the sub-one minute bracket at QR!

BWRGTR - Yeah, the Bayside Blue GT-R we are pretty happy with, no new mods to it at the moment. The 205HP ATW also seemed a bit low, but we did hit the speed cut.

Luke_ENR34 - You might have to put a bit more work into your proposal! :D

hmm yeh 205hp is very low i think, 206kw stock (not at the wheels given, but thats ~280hp) vs rb20 165kw(~220hp) and my old 32 gtst made 200hp atw with a 3inch exhaust, fMIC and a pod filter

does the car still have stock exhaust ?

otherwise great build ! good to see some people still go for a nice amount of power instead of chasing huge numbers :wub:

I much preffer a bit less power but more response, linear delivery

Day 3 12/4/10

So while I was at the workshop yesterday, the CF card in my camera exploded. Luckily, my trusty camera phone

was there for backup.

LSD & gearbox are now bolted back in, factory turbo is out & HKS GT-RS is in!

are you guys going to remove HICAS?

We're leaving the HICAS alone at the moment, we'll take it for a spin once it's all together and see how it it feels. We'll make a decision after that if it's going to go.

Should be a nice car once its complete. but I am suprised at the choice on the Little GT-RS when QR is really all about straight line poke.

What suspension / tyres etc are you guys gonna run?

Zebra, we are going for strong and reliable, rather than going for the highest output. It doesn't have to be the quickest car out there, just enough to have some fun.

Leaving the suspension alone at the moment, it has a set of racing logic coilovers now and we will probably make a few changes, but nothing yet. The wheels will be LM GT4 18 x 10 all round and as far as tyre choice, we use either Nexen, Corsa or Achilles depending on the day.

I like your thinking with that.

Are you not going to run proper semi-slicks for the track?

Its just that you said you wanted sub 60secs on the sprint track...which is pretty damn fast.

Sorry mate, I didn't include Falken Azenis that we use at track days! On standard rubber in its previous form, we have managed a 1.06.03 from this car, so we are hoping that sub 60 is within reach. If everything falls into place, it will be ready for the next track day to find out!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
