Being a manual you have a few other options, pretty much all options for 34GTT will work, if it was auto then Nistune is really the only option that will work with the auto box.

Nistune boards are about $250 if you don't want the software aswell, carton of piss for an electronics dude to install it in your stock ECU then a few hundred bucks for a tune.

Stock injectors should be good for ~230rwkw, any more then you need to look for bigger, injectors for Neo engines aren't super common either. I'm about to commence looking into highflowing the stockers before my Nistune board arrives.. spent big on aftermarket injectors for the 32 twice and there's no way in hell I'm doing that again.

Hmmk, that's a little more than the 1000cc Rochesters cost me and about half the price the 550cc Denso's did!

Everyone who I've seen put those Seimens injectors in their R34 had to make up spacers for the fuel rail..

You need 480+ injectors so those Siemens should be fine if you can make them fit. You will need Z32 afm and upgrade fuel pump if you haven't already. Newcastle's fame as a tuner free zone has spread to NZ so a trip to Sydney is indicated.

With 250 - 280 awkw car will be fast. Mine was pretty zippy with 245awkw but going the RB30 (plus bits as in my sig)route now. It is my daily driver and track car all in one (not recommended but i can't afford 2 cars).

If you haven't done anything to your suspension a massive rear sway bar will transform the whale like characteristics (plus a set of Bilsteins when you can).

The last car i had was a modded evo 7 so i definately need to get the car lower and stiffer.

Newcastle is crap for workshops tho the only thing i need someone else to do is the tuning. Who is good in sydney?

Are z32 afm easy to find and do the plugs need to be modded or anything?

Z32 afm's can be bought new with plugs (have to wire in the new plug) from most traders on this site, I got mine from Justjap.

It will never be as low and stiff as your evo, I've got non-adj. Tein coilovers and they make a huge difference, on the hunt for some 33/34gtr swaybars as they're meant to be a cheap upgrade.

Was thinking about getting the teins, only was worried they would be too stiff. Bought cheaper coilovers before and they were way too stiff even with the softest springs. Its the standard height now with crap tyres and the thing handles like the qE2.

Tolerable stiffness is subjective really.. I come from driving my stiff-as-fk 32 so they are quite bareable compared to driving my 32 on our shitty roads.

Not sure on the exact model of my Teins, can attempt to find out if you're interested.

BC's are nice for the money (coilovers) i have used the other "local" coil-over brands and they are all pretty average.

Seriously your stag with a T67 would be one of my "garage" cars (something id like in the garage), we have done quite a few stagea's and they come up great (even a few RWD only stags)

The auto 4wd versions with a 3000 stall converter and factory lock up is probably one of the most fun cars ive driven. They really wake up around the 280kw zone and are seriously fast.. A MV auto upgrade is also advised around the 280 and up mark and having installed a few can say their work is spot on, easy high 11 low 12 second wagon that is easy to live with as a daily is nothing to sneeze @.

Rear sway bar is Whiteline BNR11XX24mm (24mm solid not hollow like stocker) or equivalent. Or you could give your bar to a springmaker for a pattern and ask him to make one in 24mm solid bar. Get some adjustable castor rods and give it more castor for straight line stability at high speed. GTT or GTR brakes a good upgrade.

Read the Stagea section - hundreds of pages of good info

I'm running BC's, very nice for the price with good spring rates. Everybody has different taste in dampening so adjustables are easiest to tune.

I also have a 3000 stall fitted, it is the perfect setup for the street letting the turbo spool almost instantly. Performance of a GTR with wagon practicality = win. :(

The Stagea forum has all the info you need.

I went the BC's so yes.

And yes GTR brakes fit as long as you run the GTR callipers and disks.

Need to redrill/tap the nuts for 14mm bolts though, please don't do what all the other geese are doing and sleeve the 12mm bolts :(

34GTT brakes will bolt straight up as they are already to suit 14mm bolts, you get a 310mm rotor then instead of 296mm with the GTR setup.

What about fitting brembos?

Depends what they're off...

Basically, R32/R33/s1 Stagea are 12mm bolts..

R34 and s2 Stagea are 14mm bolts..

Mounting dimensions are the same for all hubs, the difference being in the length of the legs on the caliper, this changes to suit different sized rotors.

I think Brembos off GTR's run an adapter bracket but I could be wrong.

Anyway, this talk is really suited to either the Stagea area or the Suspension/Braking area :(

    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
    • I'm a bit confused by this post, so I'll address the bit I understand lol.  Use an air compressor and blow away the guide coat sanding residue. All the better if you have a moisture trap for your compressor. You'd want to do this a few times as you sand the area, you wouldn't for example sand the entire area till you think its perfect and then 'confirm' that is it by blowing away the guide coat residue.  Sand the area, blow away the guide coat residue, inspect the panel, back to sanding... rinse and repeat. 
    • The detail level is about right for the money they charge for the full kit... AU$21.00 each issue, 110 issues for a total of $2,300 (I mentioned $2.2K in the first post when the exchange rate was better). $20/week is doable... 😐

    • You put the driver's seat on the wrong side! Incredible detail on all of this. It looks like you could learn a lot about the car just from assembling the kit.
