My R34 Gt-T Street/track Build/diary

[blah_blah]

now for some big ass brakes and you could fool everyone!

till they see the interior that is

Yeah trying to stop spending on the car for now haha

Car looks great.

After having it for a while, how do you find the car's power delivery and driving characteristics at this power level? Would it be tolerable for a daily?

Hrmmm....Going from a sort of linear 280rwkw on the ss2 to a non-linear 350rwkw 3582.

ss2 definately beter for everyday driving- but i got bored of 280rwkw pretty fast

350rwkw is plenty push in back shit your pants sometimes kind of power

I think one of the new ss2's and bump up the psi to 22-24 for around 330-350rwkw would be great as a daily driver!

It dont need spacers. Looks great

But i want to be hektik

Great build mate.

Thanks!

How did you manage to fix the gap between the bonnet and front bar dude?

OEM brackets lift the front bar up enough plus rubber piece in between the bonnet and bumper?

Its not 100% yet but pretty darn close just waiting on some inner headlight brackets

You need the GTR reo, outer and inner brackets then upper retainer and rubber then shell be right

[blah_blah]

So this year I've decided i want to head back out to the track.

Just need to fix my heater hoses and fit an oil coolver.

In the meantime replacing my Tein HA suspension to BC ER Coilover 9kg front 7kg rear

[Leroy Peterson]

ER's, nice choice.

I went to go back and re-read this beautiful build, and maybe it's just me, but it appears a lot of the image links are broken?

[Borci88]

Noooooooooo Tony!! Return them and get Tein Street Advance!!

Dang, that is going to be a pain to relink them all

Edit attached some images back up

Noooooooooo Tony!! Return them and get Tein Street Advance!!

I only got them for $750, this is still a budget build

Works for Richo so must go ok!

[Borci88]

Tein Street Advance is $990 brand new

[blah_blah]

Tein Street Advance is $990 brand new

Oh so cheap didn't know! Thought there were around $1.5K

Too late

[Borci88]

No big deal! I believe the Street Advance is better than the BC's, but not a HUGE difference between the two if you're only paying $750 for BCs!

So the GTR coilovers didnt end being the best fit, as they are quite shorter than the GTT ones.

Returned to seller, so send me a PM if you to re-buy them

lol at budget build

Its not too bad

Incl the repurchase of the car after written off, I would estimated the whole engine rebuild, body kit and respray, wheels, everything to get to where its at would be about $20k or under

[gtr jet]

I take it they were for R34 GTR? Other wise where do I get those Tiens from at $990?

Oil cooler has arrived

15row Greddy style Oil cooler from Vulture Motorsport.

Will be getting this installed with braided lines and a Greddy thermostat at Scotty's on the weekend. And maybe some ducting

Current temps where about: 95c just normal highway driving

And would take about 2 laps at Sandown to go past 120c

[Borci88]

Ducting makes all the difference if you're installing it in behind the bumper bar, trust me on this one

Without it you might make 3 laps and then have to cool off. Duct it properly and you could manage to go the entire session as hard as you want, assuming it's an efficient setup.

Thanks for the Info!

Lets hope Scotty is up to the task!

In other news received these today, as I think the stock rubber ones are getting really old. Don't want to risk it on the track!
