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"

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
