To me they go crazy, full boost is as 4k rpm, they are running just past 17psi. Engine isn't built but does have cams - it also helps that Racepace has been servicing it since it was imported (2008).

Well today was first time I took it to red line, safe to say legs were shaking for hours later because of the adrenalin haha.

One thing im trying to figure out is the space between the window seal (think thats where the window deflector goes?) there is a gap is that normal and safe if its raining? Been trying to search the forums with no luck

Yea when i picked up the car from Racepace it has potential to do a lot more, just needs a tune. But think this is plenty for many months to come haha

I see and yes cams do help.

First time red line is always a good experience Haha!

Got a photo of the space between the window? I'd say it's normal like what Hadouken said... As long as the window goes all the way up.

Yeah Racepace will do you well, they know the Power FC really well and should re-tune it up nicely for you.

When I get home ill take a photo for you to have a look. The window seals are fine and window goes up. This is where the window seal connects to the roof of the car (think thats where the window deflector should come in)

With 356kw at all fours thats plenty for a while to come, don't think she will be needing anything more haha

Yeah nice one.

Ok sure, will wait for the photo and have a look.

I remember seeing a thread about this but after hours of searching I can't find it. I'm presuming its safe as any water that comes through will run down by the doors? But still not sure - any tips would help out.

Car is going great, I guess Ill start a thread and keep people updated with the small things I do. But first things first

For it's age, it can happen... I'd say the seal has just bubbled up due to the heat / sun.

Worst case, just re-order the rubber strip and replace it.

Nice custom plates, I'd assume M = Milan and BR34 = BNR34.

Ah ok, would you have any idea what that part is called?

Spot on on the plates haha

So the part is called the "Weather Strip Retainer".

I believe this is the part, however there are two and I'm not sure if it just the metal bracket, or do you get the metal bracket and the black seal on top:

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan-oem-right-side-weather-strip-retainer-r34-2dr.html

The biggest problem I have is that I can't see what actually comes with that item.

Does anybody have a company where they can order their oem parts from?

Thanks Odium,

Im trying to fix her up slowly bit by bit. Just need to make sure that this is the correct part as that came up at AUD434 which is quite pricey. Also I think that is just the front retainer - there is also the rear.

Any chance somebody knows what the actual rubber piece number is?

'll take some more photos so people understand what I'm talking about.

Wonder if there are any Nissan Dealerships which can order the parts for you? hmm

Just a quick note I've searched everywhere on the forums and there is no mention of the part for the 34Gtr, just the 32 as they have a clip on. Where as the 34 has screws that hold the bracket up together with the plasic.

First link is for the Left Hand Side.

Second link is for the Right Hand Side.

You could order it for Nissan AUS or just ask Racepace as they can easily source parts.

Thanks mate,

Will be posting things I do to this car bit by bit. She is in good shape, just needs that little bit of extra bits and pieces but its only cosmetics no rush I guess.

Will be sure to pop down the next SAU meet

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...

Just to give an update on the current status of the GTR.

I have to admit its probably one of the best decision I've ever made in my life. Its very fun to drive but what is especially interesting is when people are giving you the look "cmon man.......punch it please".

Car is very healthy so no real modifications were done since I got it. Ill post some pictures so you can see the before and after.

Fixed/Replaced:

- MDF Screen (had to do a lot of precise peeling but came out like new - thanks to whoever made the tutorial on here)

- Installed an Aus stereo and made the wiring nice and neat behind the dash

- Removed the nismo tie rods and camber arms as they arent adjustable, replaced with cusco so car goes 100% straight (was pulling very slightly to the left)

- Have a friend who does detailing who polished off the headlights, really good job. Will be detailing the rest of the car in a few weeks

Apart from that its very enjoyable to ride things I need to get are:

- Side skirts and rear pods, have a really good deal which are made up for fibreglass will be buying them on wednesday as its so hard to find oem

- Detail the car

- Perhaps swap over my bronze 19" te37 with a pair of 18"

- Swap exhaust for something a little bit quieter as this is very loud as its a 3.5" straight through, kinda needed for the 360atw tune (its a kakimoto)

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
