Congratulaions on your purchase.  

Let me know when you get your zorst fitted. Interested in cost and performance increase.  

Hey rich, where abouts northside you live? I'm up near Morayfield area. Would be good to see another sedan.

My drive is a 2001 R34GTX-T Sedan.

Hi Mate,

Only just got the email about replies to this thread...

I'm @ Chermside West and the GTT should be put on the ship sometime this week.

Aiming to have it on the road in April.

Looks like theres a few GTT's in Brisbane now. Hope we don't become as common as the 33's.

Bob Jones thats why I only said that I have *heard* good things about Bliss and Drift King, guess I might avoid them now all the same and stick with Beddhams. Anyway, the only personal experience has been with Beedhams and it was a good one.

About inductions sounds... I only had a K&N panel filter in stock box and also used to get a good induction sound in the GTST although my GTR had pods and it was definately more noticeable.

Managed to get some good tyres for compliance this time too, learnt from last time when they put Falken ZE326's on - a loathsome tyre esp in wet. Got some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's for $225 a corner. Looking foward to seeing how the GTT corners, apparently better than the GTST's.

Go the sedan action!

I can vouch for the definate handling increase with new tyres and Upgraded suspension. I went down the path of Bilstein shocks and Whiteline springs. Also mixed in with some other Whiteline suspension bits. All I can say is it feels like it's on rails now.

I'm sure as hell keen for it, maybe we can organise something for next saturday? Meet up and have dinner somewhere, then make the trip to BWCP to show off some uniformed R34 action :) If enough of you are keen I'd be happy to lay down some details, feel free to PM interest/suggestions.

On another note, mythr33 and I compared notes between his R33 GTST and my R34 GTT tonight, the 34 certainly has a big advantage in the handling, lots less body roll, better suspension etc etc, felt as though his boost came on a bit stronger then mine though, mostly likely due to him having a much more adequete exhaust :P I'm certainly going to have to look into doing some work soon!

Metropol would be perfect for me and the upper carpark should have sufficient room.

I agree that it should not be R34's exclusively but we should co-ordinate once there for some cool photo opportunities.

I'm in for BWCP next week at this stage

Yeah, mine has some generic brand one (it does the job) but make sure u don't get the "not for use on forced induction vehicles" one that sells for $40.

As for the installation, it should be pretty straight forward but you may want to look at the CAI boxes available on these forums.  For about $120, u get a nice enclosure for the pod that incorporates parts of the factory airbox.  These allow the advantages of the pod minus most of the hot engine bay air.

If only the previous owner didnt throw out my original airbox...

Also check the hoses that return to the airbox.  There are two small hoses (diameter wise) in my engine bay that have been blocked cos I think they used to go to the airbox so you may need to do some blocking yourself.

But a guarantee, you will hear the turbo spool up (from a distance too) and the factory recirc valve will sound loud.

umm what hoses have been blocked in ur engine bay?? there are no hoses going to the standard air-box,, not on mine there isn't.. mind taking a pic of it? could be hoses to your boost solenoid or the black fuel canister thingy at the front .. :confused:

Firefrog,, i have a HKS mushroom filter with the AFM adapter for sale,, just doesn't have the green foam ,,

I'm in for the meet up for sure,,, keen to get a group/cruise happening on a regular basis aye.,,,

who here has msn?? please add me

I think I need a little credit for helping you fit the gear here...... :wassup:

CREDIT, You deserve all the credit. You pretty much fitted the lot by yourself. I was just the stooge who handed you the tools.

I'm keen for the meet even though I am from Northside. Might even be able to convince jlnewton to come?? Need the exact address as I'm not from around there.

Haha, fancy seeing you here. You gonna bring your sedan out on sat?!

would love to check out your new car, but mines still having a few issues from the last lot of mods

once i get them sorted, i reckon its on eh?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
