Hey guys, I'm starting a new topic because I need help to get a list of (useful) mods I should put into my project car (2001 R34 GT-25 N/A) so far I'm switching to turbo instead of engine swapping, I'm pretty dead set on this I don't want to put a whole new engine in. I'd love to hear what you think I should put into the car, it can be anything from type of turbo charger to brand of fuel pump I want as much hp as I can get out of this car. I will only be using it as a show/track car and absolutely WILL NOT be driving on the road with it so go nuts with your suggestions no need to be restricted by road laws :) feel free to post any of your cars you've worked on or are currently working on :)post-141924-0-46760000-1449240239_thumb.jpeg

This ^ and then more of this.

Oh, and there is absolutely no cross over between a show car and a track car unless the track car is so successful and famous that people want to see it at a show. Choose your course of modification according to which of the two options you want to do the most and forget the other one.

Personally, my vote for you mods involves converting to AWD, fitting supercharger and f**koff big turbo, plus 150 shot of nitrous, fitting low drag (think extended front and rear ends) fibreglass panels and going for standing kilometre times

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
