Hello fellow Skyline Owners and members

i have R32 GTR , built forged motor , stock rebuilt turbos with steel wheels , turbos back exhaust , cooler piping n pod filters. car hopefully should be reliable having changed most seals gaskets and vitals such as oil pump water pump radiator. didnt change engine wiring loom =[

car runs stock ecu, afms , fuel pump rail injectors and regulator ... so its fairly stock as a rock 233kw atw @ 14psi -_- at the time of dyno run =/

not looking for turbo upgrades or pfc the car as yet , but working it up slowly whilst still keeping it drivable most of the time ....

thinking of putting a bosch 040 fuel pump -> i understand it will greatly improve overall system reliability/calability but will it gain power? and do i need a fuel regulator or injectors at the same time .... not as yet i think ? being so stocky

car also has boost tap -_- currently connected turbo side, where both wastegate signals turn to 1 line and go around the back or head .. is there a better position to put this?

heard there is a better way to hookup the boost tap ... and also removing the 'boost solenoid' ( mounted on a bracket behind factory battery ) apprently builds boost most efficently ???

thanks yoh

fuel pump will add 0rwkw

why would it add power?

air and fuel make power, not much how much a pump can flow

change the air/fuel ratio, youll make power

ie tune will make more power

larger turbochargers will make more power

fuel pump is good insurance policy

and youll need it later on when you change turbochargers

std fuel reg is fine, dont change it

14psi with boost tap? remove restrictor from boost line and it'll run 15psi without anything else.

stock pump, injectors and fpr are good for upto 290rwkw.

what other mods have you got, ie exhaust, cam gears etc

there is plenty that can be done before the comp that will make a GTR alot more fun to drive

Its crying out for an ECU+tune. Nistune would be the best option. Dont bother with anything else until that's done.

If you want to go fuel pump, nismo or sard drop ins are the nicest but not the cheapest. If you're strapped for cash just enjoy the car as is.

so fuel pump is just for reassurance ... was thinking my pump might lack pressure at high rpm being so old =/ ??

any1 know about removing the boost solenoid ? apprently putting boost tap in place ??

theres a blitz access ecu 4 sale ..... terrible idea or ?? drove a gtr with this ecu , stock turbos, big cooler not bad =/

thanks dudes!

Fuel pump will add no more power, i've got walbro pumps in my GTR. they're smaller than the bosch ones and are good for 350rwkw

std fuel reg doesnt need changing ever! i've got mine still running 1000cc injectors with twin fuel pumps and e85. i dont understand why people get FPR's

IMO here is what you should do if you haven't done already

1. 3in exhaust at minimum, also look at upgrading front pipe

2. K&N air filter for airbox or pods

3. remove boost restrictor to run 14-15psi

this should get you up to 250kw

4. Upgrade ECU (Nistune is good value and i'm running it in my car)

this should get you 250-280kw

5. upgrade injectors to 660cc or more & fuel pump

with a tune you should be able to get around 300kw

at this level you'll be around the max of your turbos, you could choose to push them hard with AFM's but it gets pretty $$$ either Nismo's or Z32's

my car has apexi front pipes and 3 1/2 inch exhaust , apexi twin air filters powersomething i think its called.

boost restrictor is located where ? is that the boost solenoid located between battery and shocker tower? what do i do with both vacuum signals?

yeah fuel pump is not needed unless there is a problem with the one you have.

and if you do want to change it, get a nismo. much easier to install and very good pump.

then next step is power FC or nistune. both are excellent options and will really bring the car alive. when getting the nistune or power FC tune done, take the opportunity and get some adjustable cam gears fitted and have them adjusted too on the dyno (in conjunction with the ecu tune). forget the blitz access ecu. waste of time. they are pre-set for certain mods and cannot be changed. it may not even suit your cars state of tune at all.

thanks for advice

someplace is asking 320 for nis-tune board fitted ... how much will tuning cost me =/ ?? ( sorry if this is silly Q ) and where is the best place to take it in melbourne ?

pretty sure i will change fuel pump for peace of mind along, fuel filter and injector reco/clean wont go astray :) bosch 040 ? ( intank pump but pretty sure some bracket or somethings gota be made up for it right ? )

afew of u guys said cam gears should be put it ... ( hope my harmonic balancer comes off easy ) any1 have issues with cam adjustable cam gears that arnt HKS and arnt 200million bucks? some dude on northside sold some fair cheap, had them on his gtrs ... $100 or so =/

cheers dudes!

envy imports in sydney make their own cam gears. they use the outer gear of standard gears (very strong and doesn't wear) and add an adjustable alloy inner plate with 5 bolts. very good set-up and quite cheap. otherwise tomei are good and trust are good too. whatever you get, make sure they are done up tight when tuning is finished.

if you want intake fuel pump, get a nismo pump. a bit more expensive than a bosch but are 100% direct fit. even someone with the most basic mechanical experience could fit one DIY with basic tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
