What should I do with my car down the track?


Recommended Posts

Many of you know the story of my car:

Currently it’s an R34 25GT with a bolt-on turbo, bigger injectors, fuel pump and aftermarket ECU….with respect to the future, should I

A) Revert it back to N/A and sell it like that (would only take a day to do)? Then goto option D) or E)

B) Sell it as is with all the bits on? Then goto option D) or E)

C) Put in an RB30DET and keep it?

D) Get a 350Z and put turbo’s on that?

E) Get an R34 25GT Four and put a Stagea Engine and gearbox in and have a cheaper “GTR-esque” car?

Option D) would have to be a fair bit further into the future though...that's not cheap :)

Revert to stock.

Sell bits separately.

Buy a partially modded GTT or import GTX Four. You can't get RB25DET with 4wd in R34's but you can get manual.

If you go the four make sure you start with a bigger turbo and all the rest. Kick our arses straight out. I'm going to go RB30DET eventually I think.

option f) get gt-r gbox and front susp....(for 4 w drive) fit vk45 v8 and twin turbs)......big job i know, but it would be abso frikkin lutely awesome if done right

a) then get something cheap and put a fast engine in it for the "play car".. depends how much money you have and what you want to do with it.

if you want a 350Z just get one, but may cost a mild fortune to modify that properly.

I have a 350Z at the moment and have been looking at the twin turbo option ... APS are developing a bolt on kit they claim to be good for 340kw (info and clips on their website) and estimate the cost at about $15k, and Nizpro in Melbourne do a twin turbo kit + internal mods which from memory they claim something like 360kw but want $45k.

Problem though with the Z is traction ... even with just my s/s exhaust traction can be a problem and I have 275/19's on the rear.

Option F) sounds sweet....but I'd have to start with a GT Four, otherwise the 4WD conversion would get expensive.

Maybe some sort of 4WD RB30 massive turbo combo???? That could probably be done with a lot less wallet abuse than the other combinations...hmmm

I think now I'm on a house buying mission the 350Z will have to sit in my dreams for a bit longer...especially seeing as traction is not it's strong point.

Hungry...I'll do a straight swap for that!!!!! :)

Syl are you taking the piss? I'm not putting Chick Torque on my car!!! :)

I'm still leaning toward the GT Four...and the RB30, so if anyone wants to give me $25K for my car....in N/A form of course ;)

ide have to go with the 350Z mainly because of the rarity of turbo 350z's in australia

do something different, you know the 350z + turbo(s) is a really good combination :rofl:

grab a 350 still under warrantly, slap a hks 3040 on there with all the other goodies and if anything goes wrong, take it back to stock, take her back and say 'dunno what happened, was driving along one minute and the next a piston was in my lap'

j/k

at the end of the day, do you even know someone with a 350z? let alone a 300-400kw turbo one?

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
