NismoR34

this is fast becoming w/land

maybe she meant kiss our asses - goodbye? not mine baby

? she tried to bury it meggala ? well thats what it looks like! sorry to hear Milk

I was hoping that sentence was going to end in a different way. Pred: Do a search on Vic section, I think INASNT posted heaps of info relating to getting EPA testing and what you will and wont get away with. You can still drive your car AFAIK, when I got done for exhaust a couple of years ago, i jus had to fwd the certificate of compliance to EPA within 28 days of issue of notification...if that makes sense? Sorry to hear.

:confused: now you have made me wanna go and check mine...though I am already 99% sure it starts at 7k... ...another brainstorm, instead of going out to the garage which is all of 10 metres away I will sift through a hundred odd photo's on my pc cause I am sure I have got a pic of my dash here somewhere...*goes and browses* ...hours later []... ah ha, in fact I posted a pic on SAU before...now I just got to find that link... aahh there it is See 7000rpm redline! If your dash doesnt look like that then it isnt the stock nissan one [for a 34GTT].

I measured an A360 air filter today [factory OEM size] and here are the dimensions for reference: Length: 280mm Width: 165mm - both approx figures rounded to nearest 5mm. So anyone not quite sure if this filter will fit ~ chances are it will if its a skyline or other nissan. NB. I measured the top of the filter, the edges of the rubber mounting seal. The actual filter element dimensions are slightly smaller - you will know this info by looking at one! It is the same size that fits dozens if not hundreds of cars! Ps. BMC make a panel filter for our cars and their size is 168x282mm Cheers

I am thinking we need something like this - without the Cobra GT striping though!

I think that explains it fairly well, only seems to be fairly minor. I wouldnt let that stop you from buying it / checking it out up close Remember you are looking at buying a 'second-hand car' you are not going to find a NEW one!

Thanks, I will check it out!

All I can offer is a few pics to show the 34 intercooler in factory position, with the front bar removed. If you want I can post them up tonight?

what about a representation from the 34 brigade? - namely the ylwgtr and/or the UPI gtr? IMO a 34 GTR would not need to be riced up at all because they are fairly rare - so a good opportunity for people to actually SEE them up close

Thanks for that JNR24, I also need the front ones! I was hoping to find someone in Melbourne that stocks them! Or someone on here willing to trade for standard orange ones + cash? I have seen the JustJap ones many times... A last resort is to order them from Interstate / OS.

Hey SydneyKid! Send me a PM or email me with your account details and I'll deposit the cash and give you my postal address. Thanks Dale.

Have a chat with Geoff from Prestige Motorsport, I think he has a GTT available in dark blue currently for low $30k

ER

Yeah I think its called JGTC - Japanese Grand Touring Championship... wtg Nissan If your mates EVO 2 beats u then he will smoke me too probably, yeah get him to come though the more the merrier - its all for fun of course

Has anyone got the Front &/or Side Nismo clear indicators for sale to suit an r34GTT? I believe the side ones are the same as the r33 GTR but the front are different. Genuine Nismo [nissan] only please! This is what I am after: Cheers! [ready to buy ]

Edit*** Maybe we'll get an EVO or 3 down at heathcote? Not many late model evo's in the country though...even though MR. Bishi sell them...

Your redline will be the same as mine - unless u have got an undercover GTR I just remembered an ultra-cheap way to increase boost a little - use a cable tie to crimp [restrict] the hose a little bit. The other cheap way is to do what I did, fit a bleed valve. I fitted mine myself and it cost me like $25 total. Check for sale section or post a thread in WTB there may be some for sale around this place. If I were you I would only increase the boost up to around 10psi or 12 psi at the most [1 bar is 14.5 psi]. HPI's r34 GTT project car had their turbo blow up at just .85 bar whilst flogging it around the track. You may not take yours on the track but do you wanna risk it for the sake of a bit more power now? Most sensible people in the "turbo car" industry agree that 2-3 psi above standard is okay for stock turbo's / engines. Standard being approx 8psi. Its up to you though! Hey mine pulls a bit to the right, but not too badly. Dyno testing can be very helpful in finding out your cars power, boost setting, air/fuel ratios, state of tune, problems - like detonation etc...I had mine dyno'd and power was peaking at 7100rpm's when the rev limit kicked in so changing gears earlier on mine is not optimal especially in drag racing...Nissan quote 6400rpm as peak power on a standard car, which most of ours are not...

No my markings start at 7000 which is a broken red line [- - - -] and then the unbroken red line [----] starts at either 7500 or 8000 approx and goes all the way to the end of the tacho @ 9000rpm! *brainstorm* With the vaccum hose that now sits in place of your previous boost valve, did they put any restrictors in there? I am guessing they havent! The standard hose has 2 metal restrictors inserted at either end of this hose, when I removed these 2 restrictors the boost dropped! This sounds like what you now have. Which is less boost than standard. I dont know where you could get restrictors from so I would suggest getting a boost controller in ASAP!

sigh - right back at you pal. when someone says I think they are talking about performance and not looks. I agree with you that skylines are better looking...I wouldnt have bought one if i thought they were ugly...I wouldnt waste my time trying to convince someone anyway...some people like skylines and some dont...does this friend actually own an Evo? What does he own? If you want to entertain his silly school yard statements then tell him that the 911 Turbo Porsche will eat his lancer for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!

early models were around 140 odd kilowatts...evo 5 onwards are around 206kw...with evo 3 / 4 being around the 180 mark AFAI can remember The evo's are probably lighter than a skyline too...

it really depends on which evo he is referring to? EVO 1,2,3,4,5,6,6.5,7 or Evo 8 [which is out soonish]? ? ? If its a really old evo like 1 or 2 then a 33 gtst would have more power definately, but you are still comparing a RWD with an AWD...

Sounds like your boost has been returned to the stock output [by way of the vacuum hose replacing it - as you said]. So boost should be approx .55 bar [which = 7.9 psi]. Of course your boost limiter wont be there anymore...it isnt reaching high enough to hit this limiter [which is supposedly 1 bar]. You can probably ignore the factory boost gauge because it isnt accurate and its not in bar or psi anyway [kg/cm2]. Where did you get your figure from [0.4bar]? An aftermarket gauge or what? Rev limit from factory is somwehre between 7000 - 7200. I know this because I have a stock ECU in my 34 and have recorded on a dyno up to 7100rpm and YES mine cuts out occasionally when I hit this range too. If your display / rev gauge is not the original nissan one [such as tommy Kaira / Nismo etc] then the actual REDline marking could be anywhere [such as 8000] but the factory rev limiter may still be in operation [at the default value of around 7000]. I am sure the PowerFC would be able to control the rev limit but this is the risk you take when buying a modified 2nd hand car - risk as in, you dont know what your getting or what settings there are. You are asking some questions that are unique to your car and can't be answered by any of us! I hope I have been of some help though! If you want more power get someone to put a bleed valve in properly or get an EBC [electronic boost controller]...If you are used to your car's power with more boost than stock, of course it is going to be slower now...
