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

yeah i have HPI vol 3 and i saw the end now i just have to get the rest to see what they got up to. Problem i have is finding suppliers for such goods as tassie bites for bits so i will have to order online. any ideas where?

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
