Hello to all you fellow 34 goers...

Just bought my R34 GT-T, and was wondering if I could round up some advice/opinions on where to go next. I don't want to be jumping into any big projects before considering all options.

Advice Sought After:

1) Basic Performance Upgrades

2) Intermediate Performance Upgrades

3) "Let's not go there" Performance Upgrades

4) Audio Systems that work well in a R34 (or any ICE systems)

5) Styling Advice

If you guys/girls can give me some idea of where to start looking that would be great. I can't seem to find much in terms of the 34 in Australia at the moment.

Thank you all for your help~

Firstly, spend a couple of months at least digesting the stuff on this forum. There is a lot of information here.

In order:

1.

cat back exhaust system.

make sure you have a proper 3" cat

turbo to cat zorst, best to get a split dump/front pipe

high flow panel filter in stock box

boost controller of some sort, 10-12 psi

2.

suspension (many options)

front mount intercooler

fuel pump

regulator

injectors

turbo upgrade

oil cooler

3.

diff

engine rebuild with forgies etc.

At some stage your clutch or transmission (depending on auto or manual) will go and have to be rebuilt or replaced.

4.

I have an amp running a dual coil 10" sub in a box in the boot. Deck still runs the standard speakers although this not ideal it does the job.

5.

East Bear I like but there are heaps of options. Body kits are expensive to get here from Japan.

what bob said....except in part 2 you should have an aftermarket computer of some sort in there...if its a manual than you cant go past the Apexi Power FC if its auto than your fu(ked...hahaha jk....probably either a chipped ecu or a greddy e-manage.

as for styling.......yes east bear is nice....so is c west and uras and top secret.

Who stocks the styling parts... C-West sounds good!!

And yes, it's an Auto (hangs head in shame), I can drive manual - but unfortunately my missus cannot! So what's the best option from here?

Thanks guys!

I've got a Tiptronic Auto at the moment... the semi-manual shifter is already a lot of fun. Just need to get the dynamics of it totally correct.

Went to NSPM today to get a Xenon Lights upgrade (actually a swap with another car awaiting compliance). In the meantime, I also picked up a set of TEIN adjustable suspension coilovers... ride is much better, harder and steadier - only problem is that it has lowered my car to a level which doesn't allow me to get into my own driveway!!! BUGGER!

Will work something out tomorrow morning.

Any of you guys from the Northshore?

Missus says "hi"

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
