Well after owning my car for about 12 months, I have decided to make a build thread.

After owning a fully built R33 GTST, Crazy Evo 7 with all the goodies, an absolute Pearl White 350z…. One of my dreams has to own an R34 GTR which I first drove one back in 2006 thanks to Andz.

It came decision time to sell the 350 and get back into a fast car, I looked at a few Series 8 RX7s that had been built with single turbo conversions, they were quick but it wasn’t an R34 GTR. A buyer popped up for my 350z and at the same time an absolute mint 34 GTR with a few goodies came up….I had to have it.

I bought the car from a local buyer in mint condition with genuine 52000kms and it came with the following goodies.

NISMO Air filter

NISMO Radiator Cap

NISMO Thermostat

SPITFIRE Coilpacks

Blitz Blow Off Valves

Cusco Master Cylinder Stopper

TEIN Bonnet Dampers

APEXI GT Spec cat back

TEIN Coilover with EDFC

Adrenaline Drift 19x10.5

NISMO 320km/h dash

HKS Type 1 turbo timer

APEXI S-AFCII Super Airflow Converter

Blitz Electric Tuning Dual SBS Boost Controller

Now although the car was immaculate and I was over the world to own my dream car…. It wasn’t my car…So the first thing I upgraded was the front pipes and venom 100cel cat and switched to a power fc and a few little other touches like making my own radiator diversion plate and copy nismo tail lights.

With a tune by GT Auto it made nice 256kw atw…..So I added some apexi pods for the sound only (still have the airbox and nismo filter for if I want it on) and noticed there was a lot of oil on the intake pipes…..turbos were shot….well what else to do but chuck on some HKS GT-SS, Nismo Fuel Pump, 700cc injectors.

This made a restricted 280kw due to the afm.

One of the afm died and the decision was then made to change to a d-jetro. Though we had massive tuning issues with this, one run it would make 317 next run it would 260, so we steadied it out to 287kw.

In the mean time I made some cosmetic upgrades by adding some wheels and front diffuser

yeh i mentioned there that we made 280kw with the afm, then one died. So I switched to d-jetro, within the tuning one run it was 317 next the power would drop right off the 260 for some reason. The tuner then got a consistant 287kw. Even he tuners found this really weird, was just the d-jetro playing around for some reason.

Hence why its having the haltech platinum pro being put in at the moment, to iron out the issues the d-jetro was giving us. So def has far more potential than 287 and that would also made in the heat of Brisbane summer.

Running 1.4 bar.

Yeh i agree about the hard piping kit, but the KTS suction kit thats being installed atm, can also be used with the stock airbox.

So once i get that on i will get some new pics up.

The bonnet damper allows you the lift the bonnet up about a foot from the closed position and then it goes up itself and holds up without the normal bonnnet manual strut.

And yeh my tuners were over the moon about me using the haltech vs the d-jetro......

Makes sense, i didn't know what they we're called.

Forget to mention earlier; the car looks smick, especially with the new rims :-)

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
