Finally A Gtr R34 Owner

[etang789]

So after years of searching I am finally a 1999 GTR R34 V Spec owner. I still remember when I first saw the R32 as a kid, also remember asking Dad to buy the R34 GTR as a family car! This GTR R34 is my second Nissan after the Infiniti G35 Coupe 6 MT which is the V35 350GT.

So I have checked out at least a dozens of GTR R34, although this is not a perfect example in my book but it is the best one I have seen. This car has many mods on it some good some bad, but it is definitely a good car to start a build with! I am still new to the RB26, please feel free to make any suggestions!

Here is the current mod list:

Engine:

- N1 Block

- HKS GT-SS

- Jun cam 272 in/ex

- HKS 1.2mm metal head gasket

- Nismo fuel pump

- HKS fuel rail

- SARD 534CC injectors

- Tomei fuel regulator

- HKS intercooler pipping

- Trust intercooler

- Blitz BOV

- Trust radiator

- Tomei turbo outlets

- 90mm high flow stainless exhaust

- HKS F-con V-pro tuned by JUN (Koyama Tuner in Hong Kong who is retired now) for 1.4bar. auto cut off at 1.5bar.

- Trust profec B

- Trust turbo timer

- Nismo super copper mix clutch (700hp)

Handling:

- Brembo 6 pot Mono block 355mm GT brake kit

- Mine's Ohlin's shocks and springs

- Nismo sway bars front and rear

- Cusco control arms front and rear

Exterior:

- Nismo Replica Body Kit

- JUN Rear Spoiler Stand

Interior:

- Nismo White Speedo

- Nismo MFD

Looks awesome mate, the white Regamasters definitely set it off.

Where are from? Judging by the huge license plate somewhere in the EU?

Thanks mate!

I'm located in Hong Kong! Not too far from Australia. Yes we do use the UK style plates here since we are ex British Colony.

I actually didn't know those are called Regamaster.

I'm looking to replace a few things in the near future, such as:

Haltech

800cc injectors

OEM DV

Mine's or Tomei Exhaust

Mine's Front Pipe

Nismo LM-GT4 or TE37

I need suggestions to start this build!

Nice car, congrats. Interesting that when you type R34 GTR wallpaper in Google images most of those pics come up repeatedly in the results

Finally removed that stupid looking Essential Vent to Air Oil Catch Can and replaced with a new stock washer fluid bottle, a new rear washer fluid motor, and a new OEM PCV Hoses.

You should try to find a factory fan shroud if you can still fit one with that radiator.

I want to change to dual 12" Spal electric fans setup and ditch this OEM viscous fan

The stock set up will be alto better than thermo's.

If its a modified engine then you may want to look at running a nismo or similar oil air separator.

The stock setup is already not enough for where I live, there is this local garage that had installed an extra electric fan that pushes air from the front of the radiator already. To clean up the mess, I think switching to 2 pull electric fan is the better solution.

Yes I am looking into getting Radium Engineering Catch Can, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/443367-radium-engineering-oil-catch-can/

If we can do track days when it's 30 degrees with the standard fan and shroud then I wouldn't think you'd have an issue.

What are your temp issues at the moment?

its like 30-40 degrees here and very humid... I only see temp issue when in traffic or slow traffic up the hills, since hills are everywhere in Hong Kong. With the added electric fan up front now basically its always on when in traffic but MFD still shows a few degrees over the cruising speed.

BTW what does your temp gauge in the speedo show when cruising? Mine is slightly above the middle mark

I guess the humidity wouldn't help. My gauge always sits in the middle but the gauge on the dash is very vague. My water temp gauge sits anywhere between 75 and 85 degrees depending on what I'm doing.

I bet (as long as everything else is in good working condition) if you put a stock shroud on, your coolant temps would improve 'in traffic or slow traffic'. Additionally, if you have an N1 water pump, then that isn't going to help at low speed either.

LOVE the car , I have the same cars as you, the 350GT Skyline added Twin Turbos and now a Black R34GTR and about to put the RB30 Block and Nitto 3.2Lt stroker kit in, should be a fun car. Add the Advan RS-D machine/gloss black rims and all done.

Never seen a white one, I think I would like my R34 to be a lighter colour as it gets hot very quickly in the sun, as do most cars but black is the worst I have owed , black yuk but looks so great cleaned, trouble is they even get dirty in the garage so I made a cover so I can easily put it on and off, photo , works a treat.

Both fun cars to drive, it will be interesting to see how my new work goes on the R34GTR

[etang789]

Did my first service with my GTR on Tuesday

Engine Oil Change q8 10w50

OEM Oil Filter Change

OEM GTR Gear Box Fluid

OEM R35 Front Diff Fluid Change

New OEM Clutch Master Cylinder and Slave Cylinder

New OEM Clutch Fork Dust Cover

[etang789]

Finally ditched my old exhaust and installed Mine's Front Pipe Pro and Mine's Slience-VX Pro Titan III and Venom 100Cell 5" Body High Flow Catalytic Converter

Much more civilized sound didn't get to redline it yet, still waiting for a proper tune before I can blast this exhaust in the tunnels!

[gtr jet]

I'd still take your old exhaust over what's on my car haha

[Hadouken]

Why only change the front diff oil? What about rear and transfer case?

Also, I have wanted that mines exhaust for a long time. How much did it cost? If I remember correctly it's not cheap
