Hey all,

I'm due to pick up an R34 GT25 in the next 2 weeks, and am very happy with it! Turbo was out of the question due to insurance and the likes, so I decided to go with an N/A R34.

I was just wondering if anyone could provide me with some solids specs for it? I've heard lots of rumours about the car, the most entertaining of which was that it can outrun a turbo R32. I'd be interested in hearing specs such as the KWs etc, and also what sort of cars R34s can outrun.

Here she is (aint she pretty :))

Well looks like another proud owner of a 25GT :)

factory specs are:

RB25DE Neo Strait 6 engine.

Power 200PS (147KW) at 6,000rpm

Torque 26.0 at 4,000rpm

Weight 1340KG

You will be able to dust many a Commodore and Falcon as long as it's not packing a V8 or turbo.

Nah a friends mate did.

I like the rims. Will probably keep em for a while.

Planned mods are just basic to start off with.

Firstly an exhaust (any advice on what type would be great, keeping in mind that I am going to turbo it further down the line)

Secondly just basic interior like floormats and sports pedals and maybe for exterior some underglow (i know its ricey but its sick :))

Then I'll either get 2 12" subs to compliment the system in it already (I think its just the stock system with a CD stacker and a head unit)

Then I'll consider getting some new wheels. Im thinking maybe white rims. Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

I recently just bought a 25GT which looks almost identical to the one you just bought. To say that I am pleased with it is an understatement. :)

For the exhaust I have recently (read: today) fitted an HKS Super Dragger II exhaust. It is a bit bigger than it should be I spose (3.25") but, like you, I am looking to turbo it too, so I was recommended to buy a turbo exhaust first, rather than buying a non-turbo, then replacing it later. Also very impressed with this purchase.

As for the white rims, unless you've got some time on your hands, don't bother. I had white rims on my Lancer and spent more time cleaning them than actually driving the car :D Nothing beats allow in my opinion.

Thats what I thought. As soon as you go too big, its undoing everything an exhaust is there for. That said I'm not going to turbo it for about 3 or 4 years (I'm still 18), so I think it could be worth just investing in the 2.5" recommended by Driver. Cheers for the input tho :) Got any piccys?

It’s well worth paying for a mint condition car, my one was VERY good when I got her, as new condition.

BTW mate you’ll find your insurance will only jump about $100 for putting the turbo on…if you’re lucky it won’t jump at all :D

Just a question, you reckon an R34 with an aftermarket turbo would go harder than a stock turbo (assuming you got the best possible setup)? Also does that justify a GTT label, or is it still a GT25 + T?

Finally what do you guys think about powerchips. My understanding is that it definitely wouldnt be worth getting till after turboing the car since I'd have to replace it anyway...

Munky to cover that....I still call my one a 25GT+t cause that's what it is...just like calling a GTS25t a GTR just cause it's got an RB26DETT in it...it just isn't one.

I'd say even though I used an R33 turbo...got a restrictive exhaust but used and aftermarket computer...my one feels like it goes harder than the stock 25GTt...with a better exhaust on my car I think it'll be quite impressive....for a turbo'd 25GT that is :D

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
