im planning on getting a 1999 34gtr vspec

i am planning to do the following mods to it

HKS 2530/ or Garrett gt2860R turbos (is there much difference between the 2 apart from price?)

Nismo 600cc injectors

Tomei 260 cams (in & ex)

Tomei Cam gears

Bosch 044 pump

3.5" turbo back exhaust

Apexi power intake

Apexi power Fc D Jetro

Apexi Avcr

Z32 afm, or are rb20 ones fine

is there any other mods i would need to do to support the power im after? no more than 300awkw!

im new to gtr's especially 34's so i dont really know what some of the stock items are capable of

cheers...ben.

Why the D Jetro when you are using AFM's?

I am really hesiatant to mod my 34GTR.

It drives so nice, starts no problem, idles beautifully, doesnt stutter, no hesiating, etc.......

GT-SS for 300-320kw - ill get these around christmas and see how they go - have heard nothing but good things.

Any news on the GT-ZZ yet?

you'll need some injectors. sard 700cc will do nicely

also, scrap the 044 idea, and get a nismo pump instead.

forget the DJETRO too, just use regular PFC

turbos, I'd go either HKS 2530, or GT-SS (not keen on the generic garretts, but that's just me).

AVCR is old school, looks ricey and expensive. I'd suggest Profec B II would be better for you and cheaper.

for AFMS I'd say Nismo. Means you can use standard intake piping/pod filter set-up and they look standard but support lot's of airflow.

and whatever you do please dont paint it orange! :(

no worries thanks for all the help

looks like ill just go rb20 afm, with the normal power fc, and the gt-ss turbos, with the avcr my mate has one he's selling, plus i had one in my 33 which i thought looked cool, i wouldnt pay the $600+ RRP for them though.

600cc injectors should be sufficient shouldnt they?

id wanna make this car very responsive with some fair enough top end, but my current r33 gts-t has 515rwhp and i dont wanna go to that kind of power level with this one, so thats why i stated 300awkw max, id rather have the supporting mods capable of slightly more so they are not under so much stress..but probs around 280awkw ill be happy with...

i also dont want to go into the whole deal of rebuilding the motor... what is the bottom end strength, before u have to start thinking rebuild?

cheers...ben.

If you are only after 280-300kw@wheels, go GT-SS or Garrett -7's. Normal PFC, std afm's, std injectors, std air box, std fuel pump, adj. cam gears, std dumps, front pipes and decent exhaust. Get a good tuner and it will drive/start/idle like stock (surprise!!), but go like 300kw should. IMO, one of the best street set-ups, and only requires an ecu and exhaust change and she will pass epa..

id prefer to get the whole exhaust done, as well as the afm since i can get them for bugger all.. when will the fuel pump and injectors begin to max out?

i was leaning to do cams too as they would help make it more responsiveness, but if they arent necessary then they can wait with the other stuff.... like i mentioned id like the suporting mods to be capable enough of a bit more higher than my actual goal...

that sounds like a good plan, gt-ss, power fc, exhaust, cam gears

Ben, as Ash said, if you only want 300awkw, then you want to use the most responsive turbos you can that can achieve that power and the simple answer to that is a set of GT-SS's.

You also wont need a Power FC D-Jetro, and even if you did choose you use one then you wont need AFM's anyway.

My R33 is comfortably producing 320awkw with GT-SS's, Z32 AFM's, Sard 700cc Injectors, Tomei Type B poncams on a VERY conservative track tune :rolleyes:

Locally you'll get stung more than if your had them sent over and got taxed.

I'd use greenline, send a pm to ferni, he will hlep you with greenline, he didnt even pay taxes the lucky boy :)

If your $$$ concious, just get the Garrett -7's as Ben (RPMGTR) said before.

They werent cost effective when i purchased my GT-SS, but now the price is a lot more appealing compared to over a year ago. :)

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
