So initial word back from GCG is that the core needs to be replaced in the HKS, housing seems to be ok

We'll get a phone call sometime this week to go pick it up

In the mean time, we went a bit crazy on a recent order with HiOctane for the 34......

So we have got:

Haltech ECU

Tomei Type-B Pon Cams

Tomei Cam Gears

Walbro in-tank fuel pump

850cc injectors and FPR

Upgrades gears for the oil pump

All this will go in after the track day in September, I want to get used to the new clutch first before putting more power in the car

We'll also be putting in a Gates timing belt and a new water pump while we are in there.

Also planing to get a Plazmaman plenum, throttle body and Billet fuel rail, paint the rocker covers and clean up the bay a bit

BRB while I start on my Mi Goreng diet lol

I'm not too fussed on the wait for the extra power but my mates and mechanic have been pushing me to do the work now and not wait until after track day.

I could do it all now and it might be ready by track day (all depends on my tuner) but I will probably miss the 32 GTR 25th anniversary day cruise/lunch next month which I really want to take the 34 to

Having no boost for a month is a killer lol, it's an addiction. The longest I've gone without the car previously has been 2 weeks so this is a real test for me, it's like giving up smoking lol

I am interested in seeing how much power I will get out of her once everything is in and the HKS finally pushed its limits (only running at 50% at the moment)

Looks like a fun combination haha. My car should be ready in September too, maybe we should organise a cruise somewhere...

Nice, what are you getting done?

I'll be up for a cruise up until track day late September, need to rack up the k's on the new clutch, come October she'll most likely be off the road again for the work.

Same as yours but instead of cams I'm chucking on an SS2 turbo. Should be pretty quick once tuned. Hoping for 300 at the wheels

You only need the one cam gear man... And also why the upgrade for the oil pump? Mine has held up so far with the abuse...

Might look into head studs and cam springs if you want to run bigger boost, these can be done on the car without lifting the head :yes:

Organise your entry for the track day in September hahaha

I might do. It'll be pretty rubbish as it's on standard shocks though haha. Also I have no licence or helmet or gear or fire extinguisher. I might aim for the next one hahaha

I have spare helmet and extinguisher you can borrow

Licence is easy to get $50

This is about as tempting as a kebab after a big night on the piss. I'll see how the build and tune goes with Paul. Might just unplug the boost controller and run it as rich as a Saudi prince if it's too quick for the suspension

If I'm going to upgrade 1 might as well do both.

I'd rather play it safe with the oil pump, minimize the chance of failure in the future

Might be an idea. What's the limit on boost with stock studs and springs?

Stock studs held up OK when i was running 24psi but eventually i would have done a headgasket... I would say 20psi on stock springs and studs to be safe as long as you have a good tuner... Others might have different opinions?

Most engines start having issues once they have been messed with (in regards to bearings and bottom ends and stuff) best leave it the way it came from Nissan and thrash... I thought mine may have proven that to ya by now :P

Sounds good seeing as my MAP sensor will only let me run 21psi haha. I hope I land in a pit of money soon so I can come on the track day

if you use the intake cam gear you are going to lose your VCT as its a single unit and cannot be mated to the adjustable cam because well thats sorta what VCT is!.

go take it back and get them $$ back!

if not you could always sell it to someone else and they can flip it around and use as an exh gear.

  • 2 weeks later...

The new clutch feels good, it will take a a little while to get used to it. Different friction point and it's a little heavier than my old one

Time to bed it in and get ready for track day next month :D

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
