I decided after selling my 32 gtr 18 months ago I want something newer. Of course the best option was a later model GTR which is turned out to be a 2001 r34 GTR

I picked this up in Feb with a busted engine (bottom end knock) and no wheels. Engine was built, forgies, rods, cams, cam gears, haltech platinum 2000, exhaust and front pipes and a new nismo triple clutch and greddy radiator.

I have set myself a budget of 10k(ish) and 8 months to get it back on the road. Ghey stickers will go of course and the rwd rims will replaced with 18x10.5 +15's.

The original plan was for the engine tear & rebuild will happen over May/June/July and would include new turbo's (probably -5 garrett's) and a hard pipe kit and the replacement of a factory airbox for the stock look. After 270 - 300kw atw.

While its in the garage and in pieces I'll do all the maintenance stuff like rotors (maybe even a front brake upgrade), pads, boots, bushes etc and bit of an interior tidy up.

For rims I went with new 18x10.5 +15 enkeis and 265 Kumho KU36's.

Once we pulled the engine I decided to go a little further then I originally planned. The bores were ok but as it was apart I had it taken out to 87mm and bought new forged pistons. I had the head fully serviced and replaced every single gasket, hose etc. Its also getting a tomei sump baffle and tomei metal head gasket. Every other part is genuine nissan

I also swapped the factory turbos for brand new -9's with 16psi actuators, studs etc.

The engine is being assembled and should be running by the end of this month all going to plan.

Once its running I'll start on the small tidy up activities in the interior. its actually pretty good overall but its still a 13 yr old car.

Looks nice and tidy.

.... might need to Re-negotiate that budget though

yeh its going ok so far but I'm aware it can blow out. I bought the car based on a blown motor and it was priced accordingly.

If you're only going for 300kw then a set of -7 or -9s would be a better option due to a lot less lag

Yep I did :D. -9's were purchased. I went with the 9's as I understood they were a little better up in the rev range.

  • 1 month later...

I had it back for a few days however it split a heater hose on the 4th drive in an awkward spot. Picking it up again on Monday.

Engine feels great, sounds good and drives nice. The cold start tune in the haltech is shithouse but once its run in I'll get it tuned properly. I also need to detail it but overall I love it. more pics once its properly cleaned up.

Managed to keep it around the planned budget on the engine except for an unexpected gearbag replacement.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
