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.

Finished in a few Weeks!!!!!

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!

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
