i was at a tuner mate of mine, who's got a red r34gt in, hes just rebuilt the engine, full rb26 with all the goodies, fully forged engine, converted to single turbo, manual 5 speed ( nearly brand new, just rebuilt) with uprated rear diff being 4.3 ratio and a 1.5 or 1way from a r33 gtr custom rebuilt. (this thing can barely turn corners) coilovers, heavy duty clutch, custom exhaust /downpipe/manifold with 100 cell cat, only cut corner on this car is the turbo, one of the ebay nuggets, but otherwise, this cars engine build up is top notch!!! been following it since it got into the shop.

its running the stock r32gtr ecu as well, engine top is custom painted, in metallic cherry red with high gloss, like glass and the cam gears are chromed with the clear gear cover. (for a bit of show), now i asked the owner if hes willing to sell, and he said yes hes asking for 30k, he got over 20k in receipts alone!! is the car worth it?? or what would be a decent price???

registered etc

any help would be great.

Yeah as the above said whatever you spend on it doesnt mean thats whats its worth, I wouldnt pay 30 for it. Part of that is I prefer buyin stock and doing it myself its what keeps me entertained but even apart from that I wouldnt be willing to pay 10g more than a normal r34 just because its had some work done on it and then theres also the side of the more you do to it the more chance you get of stuff breaking.

For 30k I would buy a nice 32 or 33 GTR, a R34 GT with a 26 in it is still only a R34 GT.

This would be something I would look at for that money, or,

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
