Howdy, i finally after 9 months of looking and bidding i got my bayside blue r34 GTT, and it is about to get on a boat in japan woohoo

Anyway

as you all know the car will be stock when i get it. It will have a nissan sports kit (correction) already on it and thats about it

I would like recommendations on 2 things:

1. What are the first 5-10 modifications you would do to the car (not including rims), and in which order.

2. and of those what brands/ models would you go for.

i already have some ideas in mind for mods but just want to get some extra input

Cheers

Full exhaust from the turbo back, including CES Racing Split dump and front, big cat converter, cat back exhaust.

That's step one and will cost about $1500-$1700.

Then FMIC and Power FC all at once.

That's step 2 and 4 and will cost about 1000-1500 for FMIC and about 1500 installed and tuned for the PFC

Then full suspension job including Whiteline Coil overs, sway bars, Pineapples and all bushes replaces.

Step four would cost near enough to $3500 I think

Then a new clutch to handle the grunt you will soon want more of.

Including a light flywheel and clutch, probably close to $3000 installed.

From there, Cams, Turbo, Brakes, Rims, Stereo, Guages, Seats and the list is never ending.

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

BASS OUT

Woohoo,, another bayside blue!!! well done,,

i've got the same kit as yours,, just a c-west front bar :)

what yr is yours? mine is 2000

whats the specs?

manual?

kms?

how much did u get it for if u don't mind me asking,,

once again,, congrats on the buy,,,, blue is the best colour :rofl:

welcome to team bayside, hehe

afro

Mine is silver

Love the blue though.

HPI used an R34 gt-t as a project car and it is featured on there dvds vol 3 to like vol 8 or something. They went

1. Apexi GT cat back exhaust and front pipe (stock cat) $1800

2. Apexi AVC-R ($530 through group buy)

3. frount mount intercooler.

4. suspension + bushes and the works

5. Power FC

6. Hi-flowed the turbo. (it blew on a track day runing .9 bar)

7. clutch (tripple place os job)

The injectors will only handle about 1 bar of boost. eg. 210kw at rear wheels so you will have to change them if you want much more.

Have fun im doing mine at the moment

For more power -

1 - Full turbo back exhaust

2 - Better turbo (either stocker re-cored or HKS etc) turnedwith a Z32 AFM

3 - Fueling (pump & injectors) and PowerFC to map the new stuff

4 - Cooling (FMIC/Oil Cooler/Radiator)

5 - Clutch (stock R33GTR one can be used)

But I'd add better suspension and brakes TBH as well.

CHeers for that i am intending to do full exhaust first followed by FMIC and power FC. then see what is up any recommendations on brand, i was thinking custom exhaust though

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
