Advice On What To Do With My R34

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

I have been on this forum for a while, but I would like some advise on what to do next with my 34.
Now I will be honest with you, I have no idea on what I'm doing when it comes to cars, but I have had my 34 for sometime now, and I think its time that I actually do something productive with it.

My goal:
For my 34 to get to 300kw
(I should also mention its auto)

What came with the car when I imported it:
- Exhaust system (Looks like a straight pipe)
- TIEN Coilovers

What I have done to the car:
- Replaced stock Intercooler with Cooling Pro Stealth Series Kit - (Not sure if this is really decent?)
- Pod Filter replacing stock air box


I have had a look online, and came across this guide

- Now i'm not sure if this is something great to go by, but this is why i'm here so i can get some people's opinion
- I understand that money will play a big role in what can and cant be done

Also in relation to whatever you guys recommend, know this - I probably will not be able to do any of it lol
- So if people could also recommend places in Adelaide to go to, that would be greatly appreciated

Look forward to you guys input

There are millions of these "I want XXXKw out of my R3X" threads.

Best thing is to go look at the RB25 dyno results thread in the forced induction area. That will give you an idea on what's needed and what is wasted money.

Hey mate,

I've been on a similar journey recently, also with an R34 auto. Have a look at these threads:

• From 200 To 250-280 Rwkw In An R34 Gtt? Aka Yet Another 'aiming For' Thread
• The results on Rb25 Turbo Upgrade, All Dyno Results thread
• The Hypergear thread

Mine's currently at 257rwkw but people are getting 290rwkw+ of virtually identical setup in a manual so you're looking at about 40rwkw loss from the auto. In other words, if your aim is 300rwkw look for setups that produce around 340rwkw in a manual car. Also factor in some work on the gearbox as it won't take these power levels.

From the cost point of view, you'll be looking at anywhere between 5 to 10k depending on if you use new or second hand parts and how much of the work you get done at a workshop. If you want to do it properly and get a full monty rebuild for the gearbox it's probably more still.

If I was to do mine again I would probably go an OEM highflow instead of a completely new turbo. It'd be less powerful but more responsive and much easier to install.

Also, don't forget the big question - why 300rwkw? Have you driven a 300rwkw car? No point chasing numbers for their own sake

Good luck.

thanks man, definitely have a look into those threads.

something i should mention is i did go to MV automatics and they did modify my gear box also
the jump from 1st to 2nd, is way more noticeable now

Did you get just the shift kit or also the servo. How much power did they say it will hold? Auto box building to hold decent power is expensive.
