As the title says, I'm needing a more practical car (one that can tow the boat) and what better way then to have the best of both worlds with a stagea.

My r34 GTT.

1998 R34 GTT.

Manual.

NEO engine with 102ks.

100k service done.

Hypergear G2 FNT Turbo.

NIStune ECU with duel fuel maps.

Run NIStune from the "stereo" CarPC and change fuel maps at the servo.

Wideband O2 guage for self tuning ability.

270rwkw on PULP98, tuned by Autotech.

290rwkw on Ethanol (E-Flex), tuned by Autotech

All power upgrade supporting mods done:

550cc injectors.

Blitz Turn Flow FMIC.

Genuine Walbro 255lph fuel pump, with full voltage mod done.

XForce 3" full exhaust with Loboka 100CPI Cat.

Varex 3" Muffler with custom valve button on the dash.

3" Metal intake with pod.

R34 GTR wheels.

Slotted rotors with redstuff pads and braided lines.

adjustable coil overs. Also have the original shocks to chuck in with the sale.

After 18K, or swaps for a 2003+ M35 Stagea.

Anyone?

Yeah dude i must be getting old...

Unless i can get a towbar for the 34 for a little while until we can work out another way of doing stuff.

Gotta fit myself, Nicole, 2 big dogs that take up the whole back seat, all the other crap that needs to be brought and a boat...

Because canberra sux and going to the coast as often as possible is a must.

Also we're buying a boat next week :D

And having a boat in the garage and not having a car to tow it to the coast is gonna be fair shit!

Keep the 34, m35's are ghey for towing, full alloy rear subframe needs strengthening for anything decent sized.

That and the turbos blowing and the lack of aftermarket parts available.

The only thing really holding me back with the 34 is the clutch, it would be totally terrible for towing and launching boats, that and possibly having to keep the revs up to stay in the powerband on the highway with a boat cruising along behind, I'm not sure how it would go though, it might be great...

Thanks for the Advice, the C35 would be better for towing wouldn't it?

My c34 towed okay, rb25det neo auto was good on the highway, but it did chew fuel. If you're gonna get a c34 you may aswell stick with the r34.

Well it turns out i now have a towbar on the line.... Not sure if it was a good decision, but at least i can now combine 2 fun things into 1. unbelievably hard to manouver. flamin mongrel of a vehicle.

The exedy HD clutch is gonna put up such a fight against all of this...

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      By tylink720 · Posted

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
