I see your point.

I need to have a proper sit down with my mechanic and have a good talk

I've just spent the first 2-3 hours of my shift reading your build thread...... again :)

Is your beast going to be at texi this weekend? I wouldn't mind having a chat with you about your build (also need a guinea pig for some gopro vids :P)

Ill have a chat to you and show you over the car if you like ;) It will be at Texi but plumbed back and gate pressure, its not really setup to do that sort of event and it will be my first time......... errr........... again! lolz

Its amazing what the standard NEO can handle!

I might look at buying another NEO (preferably with less k's) and slowly add the parts then drop it in.

I want to do a wire tuck as well to keep the bay nice and clean. This also gives me the chance to paint the covers

Since the 34 is my daily I want to reduce the amount of down time with the car as possible

I just had a read of the write up you did on the FP HTA turbo's, they sound like a very good option.

The GTRS at the moment is pretty good but it will eventually reach it's limits. Insight said they had one on a SR20 running E85 and pushed it to 280-290kwatw

I really don't want to push the HKS any further than 80%, maybe 90% capacity

I haven't considered a high mount option but may now looking at the HTA's

It's a decision that I think is one if the best on my build so far, the whole car has transformed and I love it!!! You should look at a HTA3073 and have the potential for 350-360kw but super response too!!!

Update

I just ordered a pair of Bride Euro 2 seats from perfectrun.jp

I should have ordered them when the yen was better but i got my bonus last fortnight

Can't wait until I get these puppies in the car

  • 1 month later...

So my seats arrived on tuesday but since I was in Melbourne for 3 days they are still sitting in their boxes

Hopefully I'll find some time over the next few days to install these (once I recover and try to drain all alcohol content from my system)

My opinion is to stick with the stock NEO and bolt ons, do the AFM and tune it up.... I've been running over 350kw on my stock engine for 7000km no prob, it's even seen 28psi on the stock headgasket... The NEO is the way to go, spend the money on the right combo of bolt ons and enjoy.... Everytime i see someone go down the 26 or 30 path with a 34 I just scratch my head and wonder why.... I'm running huge power now and have spent the money on the bolt on parts, if the engine lets go, $1200 and go again!! I could kill 10 engines to your 1 for the same price....

Have you been in an RB30 though? Ohhhhhhh the torque... Completely different animal.

Thanks guys

They look a lot more subtle and understated than the ones that say bride over and over up the centre. I thought these only came in black and red but yours look sort of grey. Or is that what the black looks like? either way, great colour.

Yeh these are the black ones, the photo makes them look like a dark grey for some reason

Wow great seats, good price too. How much was the shipping on them? Straight bolt on?

I think it was around 500-600 for shipping. The whole lot ended costing me ~$2300, then $400 for customs when they landed.

Yeh straight bolt on. Bolt the rails together, attach the seat belt then bolt the rails to the seats.

Just make sure you hook the seat belt wire back up, I forgot to do this and had to unbolt the seat again lol

This. Plus which type rails did you go with?

I went the MO rails, I think there's 3 different rails you can get for the ER34.

Have you been in an RB30 though? Ohhhhhhh the torque... Completely different animal.

I might eventually go a 30 bottom end, but thats way way down the track

Not a big upgrade but I bought a set of bonnet dampers from a recent group buy and put them in on saturday, they look awesome

I've been hitting up Eastern Creek every wednesday I can recently and enjoying what the car can do.

I'm happy with how I've improved in the 3 nights I've gone down there, from a 15.1 down to a 13.9 so I'm stoked.

Still have a lot to learn though but I'm loving it.

Awesome build mate, I've been reading about the GTRS and it seems like a good turbo

Thanks Jake. I'm very happy with the GTRS at the moment, even though it's not getting pushed to it's full potential. I'm looking forward to see what it's capable of once I fixed up the AFM, VCT and injector issue

Things have been slow on the upgrade front recently.

I've have decided to change my exhaust though, the HPI dump and HKS exhaust isn't giving me what I wanted out of the car.

I've got a brand new X-Force system at my mechanic house waiting to go in this wednesday. Stainless steel from the dump to and including the cat and mild steel from cat back

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
