Hi guys,

I thought I would start a thread and tell you what ill be doing with my 97 gts-t spec 2 type m skyline in the next year.

I won’t be doing any major mods to the car really; I just want a nice looking road car that can size up when it needs to. I started off by adding a 3 inch dump pipe to the already 3&1/2 cat back (also a hks air filter). Next ill be adding a profec e01 boost controller and large front mount and at the same time replacing the front wing. Then some 18" rims are on the cards. That should leave me with a nice quick car that looks nice and pretty :). After all that I will probably 2-3k worth of audio in.

I was planning to drive this around for a year then sell it and buy a 98-99 r34 gt-t or a 93-95 r33 gtr.

Then start the mod process again, although maybe more heavily then my first attempt.

What do you think of my idea?

sounds like you have lots of money to waste!!! :)

save your money, buy the right car the first time and do all your modifications once.

half the time people spend too much money picking the right car for them whilst the other half of the time the car is spent in a workshop being worked on - where do you find time enjoying the car!?

buy the right car for you and your budget, plan your mods and enjoy the car. cars are meant to be driven. they werent supposed to be sitting in a garage. :headspin:

you're better off buying a car with modifications already done to it. it is well known that you never get your money back on modifications when you sell the car again. so why buy a car and do it up, where the modications you have listed can be found commonly amongst most lines. either add mods, keep the car for a long time, or save your dough and get the sweet gtr.

I reckon that if you can afford it skip the R34 GTT and goe straight to GTR. The amount of stamp duty that you will lose to the govt alone buying 3 cars over 20 grand would be in the vicinty of 3+ G's.

Thus purely on a not funding the govt for no reason i vote fot the GTR.

yeah I forgot that they made 32's all the way up to 95.

I wanted to do the mods to the gts-t so its enjoyable to drive while i have it... but i want to sell it before it lsoes to much value.

might not even bother with mags and stereo and just got the ebc and front mount put on soon and get a new front wing/bar what ever its called put on at the same time.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
