Hi guys,

I am a fresher in this forum, just joined today. I was planning to upgrade and am half thinking about a R34 GTT tiptronic. Hence had few enquiries:

- Whats the stock performance specs 0-100, 1/4 etc etc.

- Approx how much it wd cost to make it a 11-12s car.

-How upgradable the turbo is to a bigger replacement, power gain, cost.

-Pros/Cons of tiptronic.

If you could please help. I tried the search feature, but still bit confused.

Brief inputs on any of the above wd be appreciated.

Cheers

Rough guess, 6.5 seconds and 14.2. Unofficial attempt at realistic figures.

Big $ difference between 11 and 12 seconds and a couple of different ways to get there.

Turbo is almost the same as R33 (same fitting anyway) so anything that fit that will fit R34. 100's of options at all different costs.

Tiptronic is easier in traffic, cheaper to upgrade (ie a shift kit costs less than an upgraded clutch 350-1000+) goes a little slower, can't use PowerFC for ECU upgrade.

Rather than a search, perhaps a few weeks browsing will sort you out for information. I read the forums for 3 months before I bought my car.

Maybe

12.9 seconds will require 200 rwkw AT LEAST.

To get an R34 GTT at 200rwkw you will need the following.

Front Mount $1000

Power FC $1200

Boost controller $500

Fitting and tuning of all $700

Pineapples fitted $200

Fuel Pump fitted $400

That's about $4000

.THEORETICALLY. That should net a 12 second pass.

More likely with sticky rubber.

Into the 11s...... You need about 270 rwkw.

For that you need a brand name turbo ($3000 fitted) or highflow ($2000 fitted)

Cams $1200 fitted.

Retune of computer $500

Slicks or Nittos $800

That another $4500 - $5500

Into the 10s? Forget ot before you budget another $10 - $15k.

BASS OUT

Manual would get a flat 6 i would think.

I just bought a 34gtt tiptronic. I guess u also

have to allow for increased drivetrain loss for

auto. I don't know what power the auto can take

apparently high temp is killer so fit a good cooler.

Tiptronic pro's: auto mode - same as any auto

tiptronic mode - good for compression slow downs,

hill climbs, its a novelty(steering wheel shifts are a

bit of a wank imho)

Cons: slower than manual to up/down shift, for me

at least (after owning for 2 weeks only) more difficult

to control than manual - sure Ill get used to it.

Manual is better apart from traffic stop starts, but

for an extra $5-6k i couldn't justify it. Esp when conversion

can be done for approx $3k.

Thanks a lot everyone for all the inputs. Now I know more. Just planning ahead the finances I should prepare for. Looks like a big threshold credit cards required ;) . Money well spent for the R34 cause.

Also, I really just noticed the differemce between bodies of GTT and GTR (HOW could I not notice it before???)- the wide body of the GTR. THATS why they look sexier....

Zymotic - It already has a good cooler for the transmission standard.

I actually find that possibly due to the cooler, it doesn't warm up fast enough.

You'l find that if you use the steering wheel buttons for a couple of months you'll never look back and wonder why you said it was a bit of a wank.

Good, how much power before it goes bang?

Think I'm still getting used to the semi-auto type setup.

Maybe after i get used to the standard shift I'll trial the

wheel controls.

Do u use tiptronic mode for the track or drags?

Do u keep TCS on for track? (I've noticed when i give the

car a bit of stick one side of the rear seems to deaden [for

want of a better term] guess this is TCS at work, its wierd)

Had any dyno runs with your new hi flo?

Hasn't gone bang yet and I'm over 200 rwkw.

I wouldn't even bother with the standard shift.

I use tiptronic everywhere, street, track, strip.

I also turn the Traction control off as soon as I start the car every time. Actually it's been broken for a week which is fine with me.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
