Hi guys,

i just need some input and help on how to get good power gains in a stock GT-T R34. Although i want to try keep the car as reliable as possible, even though they are not that reliable when they are stock. As the car comes stock at 206kw at engine, an increase to 250kw at engine would be good. I have been told that intercooler and exhaust upgrades are the way to go as they give power gains and keep the car reliable as it does not put much pressure on the rest of the stock parts. Also what is a good boost level that the car should be run on to give best results of power although keep pressure of the stock parts such as the factory turbo. Also in the tiptronic auto, is it worth putting a quick shift kit to make the car faster.

Thanks Pauly.

lol, you want the CHEAPEST and BEST? they do not really go hand in hand champ :P

300rwkw plus cheap and reliable? good luck! you will pretty much have to do EVERYTHING bar a full rebuild just to make that power let alone sustain it. every single support and power making part on your car will have to be changed, you name it: turbo, zorst, cooler, injectors, computer clutch fuel system. the only way you can save money is by getting either cheapest brands (in which case forget reliable) or finding second hand good stuff, which may take a while.

good luck.

dude do a search.

250kw at the engine is easy.

Exhaust, FMIC, and powerfc with the boost control kit, and a good tuner will get you more than that and reliably.

I ran 210rwkw on my R33 SII for 12 months and had not a single problem. Compression tests showed no engine wear. I think 210rwkw is roughly 260 - 270 at the engine. MOre than enough to smoke ls1s and keep up with Ls2's.

as he has auto no powerfc or aftermarket ecu. they you will get is around 230rwkw ish (260kw at the flywheel)

piggyback fuel (safc or emanage)

piggyback ignition (emanage or sitc)

bigger fuel pump

boost controller

hiflow r34 turbo

480cc injectors

fmic

cold air intake

3" turbo back exhaust

3" split dump and front pipe combo

3" hiflow cat

some good tyres

auto shift kit and bigger trans cooler

should end up costing you around $6000 ish once tuned and fitted

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
