Mega Bump!!!!

Don't try and do this mod if you don't have the lower lip on your front skirt

The extra depth and width of the R35 GTT intercooler means it doesn't fit behind the chinless bar.

*sob*

does any one want to buy a shmick R34 GTT intercooler?

PM me.

Got a quick question to SK and to all those who have cleaned the 34 cores.

Did you just put 50/50 mixtures of metho and kero into a bucket and just poured it into the core?

Whats the process of cleaning it?

Also how would you clean the fins?

The one im about to buy seems a little dirty.

Heres a pic? what you reckon?

my 33 doesnt have any dents lol.. but yea all good.. dont think its gonna affect anything!!!

how about cleaning it?

I spoke to two of my friends n both mention not to bother cleaning the inside, as it will flush itself out.. and the oil will still come back.. ???

but i might just use water and flush something out?

or metho??

Metho and kero in a 50/50 mix is the go. Make up about half a litre, then pour in a bit at a time, give it a good shake so it can get to all areas inside the core, and then pour it out. Keep repeating the process until the mixture comes out as clean as it went in, then you'll know that most of the oil will have been washed out from inside the core.

There's no need to rinse it out with water - the metho/kero mix will dry itself out, being alcohol.

This has been a great read!

I was lucky enough to pick up an R34 GTT Intercooler for $70NZD :P Picked it up tonight.

Some of this R&R (WTF?) and timing stuff gives me a headache tho ;) Im so new to the turbo scene that i really dont know alot about it.

Currently i have a 98 R33, with 49,000km, HKS Silent Power cat-back exhaust, A'PEXi intake and earthed stock solenoid. So essentially still running stock boost. I have a de-cat pipe on its way (yay for no cat regs (YET!) in NZ ;) ))

seeing as i know squat, am i going to have any pinging issues or anything i should be doing to aid with these mods? Will be getting a split dump/front pipe very soon too.

Noticed the bumper and rear end in general is getting rather fuel-dirty, and i know that the 33's tend to run rich when you free them up (is this what R&R is?) So i guess after the R34 Intercooler, some sort of fuel management might be needed.

Has new stock gapped copper plugs too.

Slightly more responsive, not seeing a rise in boost at the plenum tho

Confirm x2.

Just make sure the inner guard bolt/clips are tight. Its lower than the R33 so its tight.

they fit up no probs.

one prob, I suppose, may be the bracket... I feel I bent mine a little to get to fit? cant remember

and they sit low seeing they are 20% larger as such, dayz kit covers that but stock front bar may not

I still use the stock holes for the air feed, just a return feed fmic off ebay now (apexi, for 180sx; I did have the r34 cooler for half a year tho), fits in the stock front airdam perfectly

having trouble tracing the final progress of Sydneykid's 200awkw endeavours; does anybody know where this finished up? And is 180awkw possible with the standard series 2/R34 sidemount cooler? Did SK go a fmic?

    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
    • Admittedly in that screenshot its doing about 13psi but later on in the log theres definitely spikes to 16. What is missing though is the massive peak, then a big drop and then a recovery. While it does go a little higher than I would like on base pressure, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that boost control via the mac valve should be a lot easier to control from here on out. I wasn't game to hook up the mac valve today as it's very wet and it's on the verge of fighting traction as it is.
