American Needs Help With R34 Gtr

[mr 32]

if your going to spent that kind of money you might want to look at getting the mines create engine.

it may be just me but im not a fan of stroker kits and big singles. i like my car to be about response. i would look at a set of 25/30's or gtrs turbos. there are so many diffrent options to suit diffrent needs but for a track car i would want response.

You have obviously never been in a GTR with a stroked motor and big single.

Good friend of mine owns a 2.7L with a T51-SPL. You keep it in the meat of the revs and its as responsive as my car was with 2530's. The meat of the revs being 4500+rpm, which isnt hard to stay above when you have a 10,500rpm rev limit... and thats with a T51R. A T04Z would be much more responsive.

A mines crate engine wont get you a car that goes as quick around a track like theres does. There are some trick bits on the car (carbon driveshaft, changed diff ratios) that make it that quick. And the stroker motor and T04Z would cost less than the $25,000 odd mines want for their engine.

you should check before you make statements like that. yes i have been and like i said for me its not what i wanted out of a car.

25 is for stage 3 and they wont sell it to you unless they put it in and tune it. stage 2 can be bought for a fair bit less.

he would have to get a block from australia sent over as they dont have rb30's from memory, and it may not be able to registered due to the age of the engine in a newer car not sure of regulations in the us.

since your american i'd have a chat to these blokes

http://www.xs-engineering.com/

they seem to be pretty switched on about gtr's

but i'm sure your aware of them

if your going for a larger than standard displacment why not go a little bit bigger then 25/30's

perhaps even hks v-cam with a large single turbo setup. they have been said to still hold fairly responsive and new larger sized turbo technology has come along way since the days of lag

Your standard gearbox will hold up the power but if you have this large ammount of money get yourself a better gearset. os or hks or holinger for the win!

good luck with it!

why dont you just get a Z tuned wngine and whack it in? Save the trouble and everything. It seems that you have the dough. I would go down that track if i got the money to do it. Or HKS tuned ones. Full engine

Ok - if you really want a fast track / daily driver R34 GTR then the 1st thing to do is stop worrying about getting to 600HP and start worrying about what going to make it fast around a track.

A standard 2.6L with forged internals and 2530's, cams, injectors, ecu etc will get you around the 500HP@wheels mark.

However the suspension geometry on the R34 is all whack. The standard control arms etc don't allow enough castor to make a decent track car so that will need to be all redesigned. Obviously some good coil-overs are essential

Moddifications to the Attessa and a good mech diff will help drive out of corners. You can also change the final drive and if going extreme add a carbon fibre propshaft as per the infamous Mines R34. Do all that and chuck on some huge brakes and you'll have a pretty serious piece of kit.

However - if all you really want is 600HP then put on a single.

fark i just wish i had a r34gtr let alone spending 80g on modifying it.

man i envy you.

[shonen]

80k AUS...?

i would be like this guy --->

i would send the car over to MINES in JP and say "Gimme the works... and i want fries with that..."

80k AUS is not enough

hmmm 80K AUS budget on a 34 GTR eh ?

Main ingredients will look like this (note I said MAIN ingredients so I have left out obvious ones like EBC and ECU etc)

Full tomei rebuild including the 2.8L stroker and sump baffle etc etc

Twin HKS 2835Rs

ARC cooler

Nismo or Greddy Plenum

Id say you would probably need a triple plate by this stage or a tough twin plate.

Hopefully the stock getrag 6 speed will hold up for a little while but when she blows its time for an HKS or Holinger sequential box.

Then just get the supportings mods such as injectors, twin Z32s if needed, oil cooler etc etc the list goes on and on.....

Hi,

Why bother spending that sort of money....I think GTA in Melbourne have one for 90KAus GTR34

700 Plus HP at the wheels. Check out their site.

I have seen the engine bay....lets say you need sun-glasses...

Apparently it has something like 40K Bolt ons and God knows how much manual work went into it.

Anyway half the fun is having an input into the build.

But if you have the money and want some-one who has built them from stock before,

talk to them about power levels needed and go from there.

Good luck.

hes in america. they have enough trouble getting gtr's into the country.

Thanks Andrew forgot he had already purchased one over there,

I suppose i was to busy reading how every-one can spend some-one elses money

If your R34 is stock

,

UPGRADE THE FOLLOWING

GT-RS Turbo's,Injectors,Fuel Pump.Fuel Regulator,Power-fc,Boost controller.

N1, Oil pump,Sump extention,Water Pump,Catch can,Oil Cooler,Trans.Oil Cooler,

Diff Oil Cooler,Coils,Spark plugs.Suspension Components and Spring(OHLINS)

ENGINE -(Adjustable cams,Tomie(PONCAMS )Heavy duty Spring and Bolts)

Braided Brake,Clutch lines and Cusco Brake stop kit......With at least front Brakes upgraded

to Porche type.Air intake and exhaust with dumps

I think I have covered the basics without getting 2.7(TOMIE)or2.8(HKS) Engine upgrades,

which you can buy aswell and rebuilt

And you still need to upgrade your Rims and tyres....because you have spent so much money on it by now

You need every-one to notice you.

GOOD LUCK

track down the guys in the UK that bought this thru us... ask them for a list of parts. Replicate. Done.

Guys in UK? Didn't know there were many in the UK

[funkymonkey]

they've got lots of guys and girls in the UK. They're easier to find than guys in Australia... at least they don't have kangaroos over there to confuse the issue.

Hehe

Your best bet would be to take it to a tuning house like Apexi or Signal which now have pretty strong ties in the US with local workshops, and have them come up with a tried n tested method of getting what you want for the purpose you want.
