Hi guys, for a while ive been planning the next stage of mods for my R, after reading the forums for peoples advice and experiences, I think i have an idea of what i want. Just after some clarification or criticisms so i can make a start on purchases.

oh, jst quick, my car is rarely driven and never has or will be taken to the track/drags; after anything over 300awkw with more low to mid range power/reduced lag

Intake: Will change from my apexi pods back to the stock airbox; i have an apexi panel filter and a nismo snorkel.

AFM: Would my stockers handle this power level or would a nismo upgrade be worthwhile?

Turbine: Seems that 2860-9 would be the go as they are off the shelf and bolt-on.

Water/Oil lines: Thinking of braided lines for the turbos as the solid OEM lines possibly can move and rupture (found this out on my s15)

Intercooler: Keeping the stocker but ill have it cleaned out of oils/deposits for the best efficiency

Dump Pipes: As ive read many times, the stockers will be fine; might have the internals grinded of jagged edges

Front Pipe: Have a stock pipe on ATM, worthwhile for an upgrade?

Injectors: Will stock provide enough flow - perhaps a fuel pressure regulator to boost the pressure?

Fuel Pump: Maybe a drop-in nismo upgrade - is this required?

Cam Gears: Not sure about which brand; maybe HKS, tomei etc

Ceramic Coating: Turbine exhaust housing; worthwhile?

My current mods produce 255awkw: have a power fc, HKS EVC, Fujisubo cat-back, high-flow cat and apexi pods. Creatd motorsports tuned the car and ive been very happy so ill stick with them.

I know this is a bit of a long thread and alot of information ive searched for previously but im just after a quick final review by anyone who cares to chime in - would be much appreciated

Thankyou in advance

-Johnny

PS: here she is now sporting some new nismo skirts and rear pods - im also grabbing a Z-tune bonnet (finally)

Johnny

go the -9's

Use factory lines (best solution and bulletproof)

std dumps, make sure all heat sheilds are reused and no need to ceramic coat.

port match exh manifold to turbo mounting flange.

nismo afms (nicer resolution)

std pump

Upgrade Front pipe for sure

Injectors 555, 660 (std can be done for just over 300 but will be too close to max duty for my liking)

Cam Gears (see access autoworks)

killer setup 315-335kw easy (common outcome)

Great advice man, thankyou so much! ill start ordering parts.

Any particular brand of injectors and front pipe?

Answers are already given, but, you need to read this comment;

Your GTR, looks tough as all hell!!!!!!!!!!!!

A nice set of wheels and thats it :)

:D im glad to hear that man, didnt want to go overboard with cosmetics lolz but i will grab some volk lm-gt4's in black to fill the guards a bit better. Thanks man!

do you care about top speed?

download real car simulator, load up BNR34 stock specs with L tune and run on 1/4

then change the final ratio from 3.7 to 4.11 and see how it adjusts the car's acceleration

i bet it stands out at the bundy shops haha :D

lmao!!!! only ever at the CBA ATM or nandos

Hmmm well not really, ill have to check that program out; maybe a change in final drive would be worth looking in2. I never go into 6th gear, except when im on a freeway.

Thanks for the tip

lolz wouldnt want to be able to say: i go from 0-150 in 6 seconds. Now at 9000rpm im out of gears

it might be working look into, could be a cheap mod

i know snowman did it to his 34R to get more acceleration vs top speed

but not sure how it affects 5th @ 100km/h for example, it might make it rev too much and likewise may do the same for 6th gear @ 100km/h

Hmm might sound a bit daft but ill jump on my xbox later; forza motorspot 3 lmao!!!!!

hopefully snowman will post in his experience

He also changed the gearbox to the 5-speed so forget about that.

The R34 diff gears suit the getrag as the ratio's are different.

Do you have a link to this sim please?

http://www.paulr33.com/downloads/simr.rar

unrar and run simr.exe

no need to install

load pit, BNR34 stock

then change the tune to L (low tune i think)

then do a stock 1/4 mile and see how you go

then change the diff gears as you like

you can even copy the gear ratios from BCNR33 (write them down on paper) and edit them into BNR34 ratios

result is BNR34 with 5 speed ratios

only problem is there is no dyno feature, so all you can do is 1/4 mile at flat knacker

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
