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

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
