The Red Lady- Sandybang's R34 Gtt

[Artic Choc]

hey mate, just want to say yours is the only red skyline Ive actually liked...so well done.. i normally don't like red on cars period

im running a simmilar settup to what your looking at... 720cc injectors/z32/nistune/atr43ss2 and im making 265rwkw at 18 psi but have a top end restriction so once i sort that out il be seeing closer to 300
its a great turbo man... lose a little bit of response but it kicks you in the face when it hits... as for the intake pipe i would seriously consider getting that replaced with a metal one at anything over 220kw (from past experience)

cheers man. keep working hard..

gtt master race mate! +1 sub

[Aggroman]

+1 with metal intake pipe, it may be fine around the street but once you get into it on a track that bitch closes faster than a nuns legs at a strip club

[Therealsandybang]

Hahhahahahahah cheers thanks for the compliments. Red has grown on me. The intake pipe will be done by jez at this stage I think

[timmy_89]

Jez made my intake pipe when he tuned my car. Sprayed it in wrinkle paint so it just hides away under the intercooler piping lol

[Therealsandybang]

Timmy just asked him about it!!!! He said it should be sweet. Very excited. The old wallet is taking a beating.

My next problem:

Should I install my turbo and replace exhaust gaskets and drive up to central coast from western sydney?

or should I pay to have it fit in there..

There is a big price difference. Some people say its fine. Jez is advising against it.. I am unsure what to do

[timmy_89]

Personally I wouldnt recommend driving too far with the new turbo on untuned, could you get a mate with a trailer to tow you? Or a cheap tow service i.e less then the price of having the turbo fitted?

[Artic Choc]

Yeah I wouldnt drive it untuned... or if you have too I wouldn't hit more then 3k rpm as well as not driving very far

Have a look around for cheap tow.. or maybe even see if someone on here has a car trailer you can flick some dosh their way.

Good luck either way mate itl be fun when its in!

[Aggroman]

i put a hypergear highflow on mine many years ago and drove it to the tuner.. going to central coast though you're bound to put it on some load going uphill which might be a risk

tow would be silly expensive.. If it was me 2 yrs ago I would of risked it if it was a relatively standard setup and done something like leave the actuator off so it was a pig with no power, would use a full tank driving that far easily though

[jrm]

Maybe I'm alone in having driven with my highflow fitted for around 6 months running on a 10psi actuator - the ECU seemed to handle it fine (I did disconnect the factory boost control).

If you had a bigger actuator / higher boost, that would definitely be a problem though.

[Therealsandybang]

Jez will be installing the turbo too. No point coming this far only to cheap out and risk engine failure.

[Therealsandybang]

Paid $260 for this

It's damaged and looks fake

[GTR_JOEY]

Decided not to go with UNIGROUP mate?

[Therealsandybang]

Joey!!!

I wish I could as they are right behind my house. But they seem pretty busy for the time being as I haven't heard back from my enquiries yet. I decided when I go the e85 route and get an ecu I'll do it with them for the final form

Hopefully jez will help me with my daily duties for now.

[GTR_JOEY]

Man you gotta go in and see them, they deal with bulk time wasters so at times they may be too busy to reply or call back. If you see them face to face the they know your serious. Even after all this time I always going in and have a chat to the boys if I need stuff done

They should still be there when you finish work and if you can't get Yavuz make sure you get a hold of Mark

[Therealsandybang]

Yeah that's probably why I think. That's fair enough. I've only heard good things. I have been there before a while back briefly. I don't know them personally though. I've already committed to jez. So we will see how it goes.

[GTR_JOEY]

No worries man, I'm sure you'll let me know how you go

[Therealsandybang]

No worries man, I'm sure you'll let me know how you go

Hahah you'll hear about it definitely

Put a leather steering wheel cover. Turned out okay

My leather was all cracked and spliting on my standard wheel so I put a JDM S15 wheel in wiring harnes is the same as r34 so the airbag & horn plugs straight in
