Within the next 2 months I'll be doing a similar upgrade with 2530's, only difference being mildly ported head, HKS 264 inlet & 272 exhaust cams, dumps, no cat & pod filters. Its currently putting out 225rwkw in stock trim on 1.0 bar - should be interesting comparo to meshmesh! I'll post the final results in the near future.

I saw Simon last night and he looked as giddy as a school girl! lol

Great stuff mate I have to say. Will be interesting to do the back to back comparison with JAGR33 when his work gets complete in the next few days by the same guys to see the difference (Im not going to spoil it Jack! :) )

Now mate all you have to do it get the 34 and do it all again! :D

Yeah I'm interested to see how my car will go aswell once its done... Although it will be dynoed on Ice's new dyno by then.....

Maybe we'll have to get meshmesh to have a go on the new dyno aswell, for the comparison to be more precise....

Cheers Andrew for not spoiling.... :D

Hi Jack... Gerald seems real excited about your car and said the same thing about comparing the two. I believe the dyno should be up and running as very late this avo, so once the boys are ready I'll drop it in next week so we can compare.. So glad to have the car back now it's your turn, but I'm sure you'll be rapped.

PS: Be careful what you say infront of the snowman, he's on a mission of attack... I hear his going for the same set up as Leewah's but even more power... I heard him and gerald talking numbers like 700kw at the rears.

Yeah well I'm still awaiting parts from Japan, so won't get done for atleast 2 weeks now... :)

Yeah the guys were saying that you had quite a smile on ur face once you'd taken it for a burl....

Will be more than happy to do a comparison, as we both have standard engine/cams/manifolds/dumps/ecu/boost controller/catchcan etc.....

So Snowy's on a mission hey??? Got sick of seeing all these GTR's at Ice getting turbo upgrades??? 700rwkws??? :D

Here's mine from last Friday, same sought of set up but with 2540's.  This was on 1.2bar. (With HKS 264 cams)

Hi GZ,

That's interesting, can I ask you a few questions?? Thanks :D

[Disclaimer - I know that dyno's are a close indication and vary substantially according to many variants, and only using this a guide:)]

Just looking at your graph, it seems overly laggy, is this true & how are you finding the 2540's? Have you driven one with 2530's?

meshmesh, great result.

On the thing of dumps - I understand fully if you are 100% happy with your result, so I aint being smart.

I found huge gains in the exhuast side.  back pressure really started killing my power above around 290rwkw.  I upgraded to a freer flowing exhaust and brought boost on around 600rpm earlier, turbos were more responsive and I picked up top end.

Have you thought about getting the cat removed - this too can really crispen up the throttle and bring boost in earlier.  And as for dumps, well there again I think you would find more response and less lag.  For a street car, if you can get good response in by around 3-3500 its just about perfect.

Anyways each to their own.  you have a great result there.

Hi Steve,

I remember the drama's you had, and thanks for that thread, it's one of those threads that just sticks in my head.

Firstly, like 99.9% GTR owners going for similar upgrades, the dumps were definatley on that list namely HKS, & the IC. Then SK & markr34gtr said stuff the HKS, Trust is the way to go.. So I head off to see the boys at ICE had a chat... Not Once, Not Twice... Probably about 10 times seriously, I asked the same question each time "Are you sure about sticking to the stock dumps??", they're reply was always the same "Yes, we see very minimal gains for the money... "

So I figured a few things:

1. By doing something a little different to everyone else, could be a comparison for the forum & others to see if and what difference they really make.

2. If I felt that I was not happy with the cars performance then I could always fit the dumps later.

I guess my thinking was similar to those who spend BIG $$$ on fancy plenums, manifolds for nothing when the stock units are more than [keyword]capable. I spent a bit more time today watching the boost carefully, and what I call boost [sorry no offence ferni :D] some may argue, but I think boost is when you feel the BANG, and not so much the start of spool... If I take the latter my turbos start to spool from +0.00 @ around 3800-4000rpm, however you really feel the BANG around 4600-4900 all the way past redline.

But I'll probably wait and see when mark gets his trust pipes and see his opinions. Either way the car is going back for some minor adjustments next week, I'll keep yo'll updated.

PS: INASNT or any using the HKS EVC.....Need some help please

Say you've selected either high or low setting, if you click "Mod" it goes through other functions in that setting. You get to a function that allows you to set between 50 - 150??? what does this do?

Yes i am using a EVC 3. I havent really played with the evc yet but i do have the manual for it. Nige should know all the settings as he told adviced me to get a evc as they are the best ebc u can get especially with an external gate.

meshmesh - ahh i see, not sure what is defined as boost then, guess i need to take one of you guys for a drive so you can tell me when it comes on...

as far as i can see i nealry always get the kick(which isn't that hard with 1bar stock turbos, its more of a gradual thing in my car) at around 3.5-4k rpm

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
