I'm considering upgrading my R33 GTS T sedan to an R34 G TT sedan. Problem is I'm worried I won't be as satisfied with the R34. I have not seen an R34 sedan in the flesh yet but I'm planning to find one somewhere in Sydney over the next 2 weeks. Couple of questions for U out there.

Does an R34 have more potential than a R33 with basic mods ???

(Exhaust, pod filter and partition, increased boost).

Does the R34 have a better turbo ??? What is the safe limit in terms of psi U can push the turbo on a R34 (With a fuel cut defender installed) ????

Is there a kit available so you can put a 200SX 6 speed behind a RB25DET R34 ?????

Keep in mind the 34 will be heavier than a 33.

34 would have a fresher motor, has NEO...how much potential in this case depends on how deep your pockets are.

34 has a poly-nylon (plastic?) compressor instead of ceramic that the 33 has. I think general concensus from 34 owners on a safe level would be 12psi...although 1bar on street use is ok. Track work you'd be best to dial it to more like 8psi.

Why would you want to put a 6speed from the 200 up to the RB?

They are fragile boxes when it comes to taking power. Stick with the stock box until you break it.

In stock form the GT-T has been running quite fast at the drags, they seem to have a good amount of power. Potential on these haven't really been tested too much here in Oz, but I know of a few people starting to use them for track-use, so they must have potential.

Wouldn't bother with the 200SX box, and keep boost to about 12psi, it is inefficient above this and will actually reduce power, we tested it on a dyno.

so you reckon past 12 is not worth the bother nor the risk?

was this on stock cooler?

Cheers.

Nah, this was with aftermarket cooler. Most turbos have a best boost that they produce effieciently. If you push past this point then they make more boost but they also produce lots of heat, which means that the power ends up being reduced. 12psi is enough, the car is getting low 13's on this setup, without any mods other than exhaust and cooler, no bad for a stocker.

ed,

Yeah it is possible, this guy only has 208rwhp, which is just a bit more than stock, but it is just the right amount to get to the floor without lighting the rear tyres.

Launches are all important, improved my time by .5sec just by learning to do it properly, still more room for improvement.

See'ya:burnout:

wow, I gotta get new tyres. I got 235 Ziex and they S*&K...

All I gotta do is just put my foot down and the back squirms in the dry with TCS ON! :P

Might see if I can get some 255 FM901's on there :P

Yah, I'm still learning how to launch :P

I found 2,000RPM was the best for launching with my current tyres! :uh-huh:

you sure the tcs is working ed? i dont get any wheelspin until i switch it off! Not even at 4000rpm.

hey got any pics of it?

Many GT-T's being brought in?

there are a few coming in to melb. i know of a nicely modded white one thats for sale soon. It has the a/m bonnet with air ducts, fmic, rear GT wing, lowered and maybe wheels etc...i think it will be going for around 37k but this is a 2 door - sorry blukie

hey franks who tuned your power fc?

your af ratio could be set alot better than that.

Heres my dyno run from last week.

My mods are Full zorst + custom dump pipe, s-afc, K/N Pod HKS FMIC + Piping.

Green is with 0.9 bar boost

Red is with 0.5 bar boost and this was on a 28 degree day at 12.20 pm

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
