Hi Guys,

I've been taking a look around lately and since i'm not really into putting thousands under the hood of my car (aside from the required maintenance) i'm looking for some suggestions and ideas on some unique modifications that can be done to the looks, both interior and exterior that can be done on the R34 GT-T.

I don't want some huge GT wing or carbon fibre bonnet, I'm not talking about ricing the car, but I want some tasteful mod suggestions that can just make it stand out a little more that I'm an enthusiast without turning it into rice or having to put thousands into the performance.

Any suggestions would be great or examples of unique looks that have been done on some projects you've seen.

Thanks Guys

um, good unique mods come from people with unique ideas and good taste.

your not gonna get these from asking others.

that being said, just check out what other peopele have and steal any good ideas you like.
imo good wheels make a car, good ride hight will start you off well. detail the hell out of the car, doing that will find all sorts of things to do like stripping things down repairing repainting, replacing.

i like this guys path.

That modified cluster is a bit crusty with the 2 holes still in the clear cover.

Unique mods for an r34 usually suck. That's why they are unique mods. Pretty much all of the good ideas have been done....

The acceptable amount of mods to be considered a car enthusiast is 1 hellaflush sticker or equivalently gay sticker/s of your choosing.

Wheels and tyres for the exterior, and some nice ADR approved buckets seats. Less is best.....unless you like dildos......the gear shifter ones

Broadfields work is hardly crusty that was just an example of many, go check out his page there might be something you like.

This. Little details make a big difference, fresh coat of paint and restore black plastics ect

for a 34 just this ^ 100%

Hardly unique but I do like my Origin boot lip and wing: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438115-how-to-install-boot-lip-and-roof-wing/

The cheap and easy to install rubber front lip made a difference too, IMO.

How about installing an antenna like the one on those highway patrol cop cars, IMO cars with antennas look aggressive and serious

Like this and notice his wide tyres as well,

For me i might get a little sticker on the side window of my favourite anime which is Higurashi or Madoka, NOW THATS JDM! :D

Follow the Colin Chapman theory and add lightness.

Remake every single body panel in CF, then repaint it a stock colour, with the colour coats thin enough that if you get close you can still see the weave through it. Add decent suspension and lightweight forged wheels.

Zero engine modifications so no more power, but improved performance through your car now being much lighter, and improved handling through better suspension and lower unsprung weight..

Note: May cost bajillions of dollars.

And...

Since Rays Duralumin wheel nuts being discontinued...

Carbon fibre prop shaft.

C/f rear wing, strut brace,...

Ti panel bolts...

Rear wiper removal.

    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
    • Build an 800hp motor. Make it as bullet proof as you want, you WILL still break things. Like, the rest of the car. Heck, even as a dead stock car, things will still break, but the more power, the more everything else will let go easier. From gearbox gear sets, to extra stress on the chassis/mounts, more stress on diff, axles, tailshaft, even the suspension mounts. Check out the motorsport build that last year went to a Bosch motor sport ABS setup, and now can brake so damn hard it's twisting mounts for suspension/subframe etc. Now if the brakes can do it, imagine what happens with super grippy tyres and 800hp in a low gear...   Shit, I'm presently out fixing the girlfriends daily driver that rarely sees past 3,000rpm and is used to cart the dogs around in. Everything WILL break. If you don't want it to break, don't drive it. And then laugh, as it will still break without even being driven!
    • ECUMaster is an Australian company from memory, been around a while, and seem to actually play really well on more unique engine setups. Seems to be more of them being used in the states, and they seem to support more cylinders than most others.   My opinion on stock ECU/Nistune with he AFM, is you can tune around the issue of stalling. It's still a bit of a band-aid, and not the most perfect smoothest setup, but it can make it drive able and not an absolute PITA. But you're still compromising. A vent to atmosphere BOV has the same issue as no BOV with regards to the AFM. Both make the ECU think more air is entering the engine than there really is. And I can't find any hard science/decent evidence that supports the claims all the "you MUST run a BOV of some sort of you'll blow the turbo up". About the only one some people can give of why is "lag between gear shifts", and that is only an issue when your boost source for the waste gate is pre throttle body. I ran my boost source for the TD07S off the inlet manifold. Didn't have weird boost spiking issues, didn't have boost control issues, and on a gear shift the wastegate slammed shut, which meant all exhaust gases would be keeping it going round and round and not waiting for the wastegate to shut again when I stepped off the clutch and back on the loud pedal. It came back on boost in the next gear pretty much instantly.   ECU / tune / BOV choice I think really comes down to a lot more factors than just what you've stated. And personally, especially for daily driving, recirc setup for the BOV, or no BOV. I dislike the really loud BOV when everyone is taking off from the lights etc.
