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.

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

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
