Hey Guys,

Im not very active on SAU, but thought I'd post my HR31 Coupe, hoping to get back amongst it, since the R31 scene is pretty well dead (well 3 people in the ACT, everyone has pretty well moved on).

I've recently finished a major cleanup of the outside of the car, as well as a conversion from the standard redtop RB20 to a Silvertop, loom & ECU. All the work has been done by myself and my mates, and I'm really proud of it.

Some pics at the Skyline Nationals in Goulburn:

with the 180:

I have some future plans for it, mostly continuing to restore it to as good condition as possible inside and out, and also some new bearings and rings for the motor, with a GTS-R Manifold, T04E, R33 side mount intercooler, external 38mm gate, and exhaust. Not really aiming for a power figure, but expecting around the 200 at the wheels on 10-15 psi.

I also have a black 180SX which I like to do skid pan days, track days and drifting events in, a VL Calais Turbo which I'm fixing up, and another R31 which I drive to work.

Hope to see some people on the weekend at the Snowy 1000 :)

Hi All,

My name is Brad. Long time reader, first time poster here.

Been frequenting the SAU forums for the past few months, until I finally registered as a member when I decided that I would take the plunge and get a Skyline of my own!

It took me about 2 months or so of searching, enquiring and inspecting many different R34s from all around ACT and NSW before I eventually came to own my "almost perfect" R34 GT-T.

I have had it for a couple of weeks now but haven't got around to posting on here till now...

2001 Model - Series 2

Pearl White

85,000 kms - not sure if genuine, but great condition leads me to believe it may be.

Manual

Factory Sunroof!

Basically 100% stock standard except for HKS Turbo timer and rear adjustable control arms and bushings (which I had installed).

Came with 20" rims on it and a spare set of 100% brand new stock rims which I have put on as I was not a fan of the 20s.

Note the number plates which I am stoked about! Just got lucky when I had to transfer rego.

Current plans for it are:

Remove stock solenoid and install manual boost control+boost gauge - as I think it might be overboosting...

Turbo back exhaust - Stock one is a little too quiet/restrictive.

Decent panel filter for intake

Black/dark grey 18" TE37 style rims - can't justify the cost for legit Rays TE37!

Then ECU + Tune once I've got it to a stage I'm pretty happy with.

Will be doing little details here and there, but basically just full "stage 1" mods and then I'll see from there. Just have to get back on top of money now after spending so much just to get it! ;)

The R34 GTR has always been a dream car of mine, and since I cannot afford to shell out for the "real thing" I settled for the next best!

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
