Hi all I have been looking at some R34 GTT and some people have been telling me that its hard to pull out power from this car, I was wondering for those who have R34 whether this is true. I would gather that the car is slightly heavier than a R33 GTST, but what do guyz reckon

Thanks in Advance

I dont see how it would be any different than extracting more power from a 33. The 34 gtt has a slightly bigger cooler and slightly less restrictive exhaust, hence doing a cooler and exhuast to it will reap slightly less results than in a 33 gtst. But then again you have more power and torque to begin with...

$4200 and you will have around 230-250rwkw

FMIC $400 (any cheapy copy)

Turbo Back Exhaust $1000

Slide Turbo $900

Power FC $1000

EBC $400

Fuel Pump $200

FPR $200

Pod Air Filter $100

* Above prices are rough estimates; obviously prices fluctuate and change depending on when you get it and what you get.

It's not hard to draw power from the R34GTT; most of the members here have done the pioneering "research" into what works and what doesn't so all you have to do is read and fork out the cash.

NOTE:

* Auto R34GTTs are a complete headache to modify; I've spent a tonne of hours and dollars going around in circles trying to make things work (yes, one of the pioneers here). So even though you might save a few thousand on the cost of the car; you definitely won't keep that in your wallet for long once you start modifying :happy:

* Manual R34GTT; just follow the conventional methods of modification to any turbocharged car (except for the Cam gears, they do nothing)

Just wondering stan.. besides not being able to run a PowerFC on an auto GTT - why is it so difficult?

lol mate were they wogs driving VLs?

theres so many members on here who have turned their stock 34 into a monster with some simple mods....

34s aint JUST a bigger cooler and a less restrictive exhuast....the engine....compared to a r33 is also better. being a new NEO version of the RB25DET it has alot more advantages over the 33.

aside from all that im sure theres also alot more

i watched a import mag dvd where it showed a r34 gtt being dynoed and it gained an extra 10kws from a turbo back exhaust. increasing the boost to .85 bar gave the rear wheels 200kws

i dunno maybe dats jsut me but i think dats pretty easy.

Well you answered your own question didn't you Howie :happy: 1) It's auto, weak gearbox that will blow up on you if you don't do something about it. 2) The auto zaps a fair amount of power from what you are making and 3) the auto ECU is both a masterpiece and a freak of programming nature.

Sure you can stick with your SAFCs etc but soon you'll realize it just isn't enough. 3 options: 1) HKS F-CON V Pro, 2) PowerPlay Rom Tune and 3) Greddy E-Manage Systems

R34GTT also has a bigger turbo - most of you have forgotten this one which is the main reason for the power difference.

Other things different; the brakes, the suspension, the HICAS system, electronics, NCVS etc etc.

Companies don't release a new variant of a car to make it take steps backwards; they release them to show what new and IMPROVED things they've done to it.

You'll be fine :happy:

i was told by a 33 owner at dyno day my 34 was putting out the same power as his 33. we had the same mods ,the only difference was he had a power fc and i didn't. i was also hitting r & r. all depends on how much money you throw at it.

him having a powerfc and yours not having one (and hitting r&r) is a pretty big difference in my opinion.

If you put a powerfc on yours (assuming its manual) the gap would open up a fair bit I'd imagine.

Simple fact is, you can get power out of a 33 or 34. They're both very well built and can handle much more than they came out the factory with... :)

I never said they were JUST a bigger cooler an exhaust, i was merely giving an example such as doing an exhaust mod on a 34 compared with a 33...

Any one who thinks it would be hard to extract power from a 34 would have to be nuts
