apparenty the largest bolt on injectors you can put into them are 550cc from nismo...but im really unsure about this.

also, the turbo sux ass. it might spool up quick, but as soon as you run higher boost through it, it starts to whinge - you might even lose your exhaust wheel to your catalytic convertor.

the other gripe i have is the stupid climate control display, in sunlight you cant see a friggin thing because of the glare! but i think this is a generic skyline problem...

sewid:

I thought they all look the same ? Actually this leads to another question.. eheh :rofl: Is there more info on the diff between series 1 and 2? I wasnt even aware of there is a series two of the R34 GTT. :)

As to the front bar.. I have an after market bodykit and it dont look too bad. :)

franks:

Interesting about the injectors.. will keep that in mind.. The stock turbo seems ok for me, as I'm sorta running standard boost atm :)

I agree with the climate control annoyance.. but guess I can live with it :)

What kind of higher boost are you talking about Franks? Have you blown one? I haven't gone to higher boost yet but I'm not far from it.

Weird about the injectors. I would have thought that would be the same as the older RB25's. 550 would be ok with a not too crazy turbo upgrade though wouldn't it? (2535?)

Anyone know about the limits of the fuel pump?

wouldnt be worthwhile putting a GTR turbo on as they have a T2 flange and the RB25 needs a T3 flange (it could be the other way around) - so an adaptor plate needs to be made up.

best upgrade for the RB25 in regards to a bolt-on turbo, with an internal wastegate, would be HKS 2530, 2535 or 2540.

abo bob, are you coming to dinner tonite?

higher boost, 0.8bar and daily driven? im starting to find that the turbo won't even hold 0.9bar!!!

0.8bar with regular squirts and the turbo starts to whine like it has a leeking gasket somewhere. i almost think its the compressor or exhaust blade touching the housing :spank::) :)

as for fuel pump, im on 200rwkw using stock fuel pump and injectors and i havent even maxed my injectors yet (according to powerfc). i'll be close though if i can run 1.0bar...

Interesting. I've been hanging to check out your car man and I'll be there tonight. Also I think you might have something to say about mine when you hear it. I've had a whine (we'll find out tonight if it's the same one as yours) since I got the car.

Boost is stock and holds it fine. Car goes good but the guy I bought it off says the sound it makes is not normal and is curious to check it out at the next service.

my car looks like a piece of shit at the moment :spank: nothing to write home to mum about thats for sure!!! sideskirts and rear pods are off, but, they'll be back on this saturday - should scrub up a little better :)

my turbo doesnt start whining until it hits 0.8 or so bar repeatedly :Paranoid: under normal driving conditions its fine...if yours is whining continuously on stock boost, then i suspect a dying turbo - good excuse to upgrade :)

Hello all,

Just like to have an idea on some weaknesses (if there is any) on skyline R34 GTTs ?  Other than the weight factor of course. :(

Only ONE turbo, only TWO wheel drive, doesn't have SIX throttle bodies :devfu:

Sorry - felt like a bit of stirring today. I actually thought long and hard a year or so ago about whether to by an R34GTT or R32 GTR. The GTT is still a great car with plenty of potential.

Whew.... so far looks like I dont have a hard job later on in fixing up any weaknesses :( Thank you all for the valuable information. :)

BTW.. If memory did not fail me.. there was a skyline in the current special edition of HPI that has a r34 GTT engine in it and it was using 700cc injectors.. :)

the only weakness in any skyline is the clown in the drivers seat that insists on making it faster, sexier, louder, etc!!! oh and the plastic exhaust impeller that likes to turn into powder when given curry at higher boost settings!! and the fact that the rear tyres wear quickly..... Oops, no thats the driver again!

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
