Hey guys just looking for some advice from you guys who have more experience in these vehicles than I do.

I have a budget of about 4k to spend on my vehicle but want to spend it wisely and with the most reputable people as in workshops, tuners etc.

Car is: r34 gtt sedan manual

3"exhaust turbo to rear

Rfmic

Bc coilovers

Split fires

About to install walbro pump

K&n panel filter

Any help, links or suggested contacts would be awesome. Don't know if to get nistune board or power fc.

Regards,

Rob

For a $4000 budget and your current mods, I'd be getting an ECU, Highflow R34 Turbo, Z32 Air Flow Meter and a Tune should bring you to about 250-260rwkw.

ECU and Tune only will be about $900 - $1000 and you might get 180-190rwkw or so?

Remember that you'll need the Plug for the Z32 as well, so it can wire straight up.

I've got a 33 and put an R34 Highflow Turbo on it... If you send off your current turbo to Stao from Hypergear he can highflow it for you, changes all the internals of it to steel wheels etc which can support a lot more boost than the standard one, and machines out the housing so it flows a lot more air.

I run a PowerFC with a hand controller, cost me about $1k, plus $500 or so for the initial base tune then a power tune... retunes afterwards are charged per hour.. so only end up being $150-200 or so for little changes.
Nistune is a daughterboard which connects into your existing ECU, its cheaper and retains the standard ecu which is good in some ways... as mentioned above, you can get one supplied, fitted and tuned for under a grand.

Chequered Tuning - 110%

How often/much do you drive your car.

I'd seriously consider getting a Hypergear turbo as well.

As for ECU's, i think Trent would pick the Nistune over the FC for a GT-T - but i'd be seriously looking at the offerings from Link/Vipec/Haltech as well. Not up-to-date about who offers what for the GT-T. Best to check this with Trent.

If you went with a newer ECU, you'd be running MAP sensor, so don't need a Z32 - but will if running Nistune and a bigger turbo.

Add some whiteline adjustable swaybars into your budget as well.

You'll need some injectors too. What Walbro you get?

Trent and Cat run Chequered Tuning, they're damn good at what they do. They're located in Keysborough and really know their stuff. Sometimes their a little hard to get a hold of, but leave a message with Cat and she'll get back to you.

Best to talk to Trent first about your budget and goals, I'd hold off on getting that Z32 for now, SS8_Gohan is right, you might be better off running a MAP (Mass Air Pressure) sensor instead of a MAF (Mass Air Flow)

May b on the weekends so prob lucky to do half a tank of fuel a month may be a bit more in summer

good answer

E85 time!! :D

You could go flex fuel for not much more, would fit in your budget. Or just full time E85 considering how much you drive it.

Madness not too.

Trent's the best to go to see for tuning... anything, unless it's a wolf :D

Go to unitedpetroleum.com.au or unitedpetrol.com.au - search for just 'E85' and see how the locations of those servos work for you.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
