Now I know that theres a large market of mods for R32's and R33's out there, but how are things on the R34 front?

I know you can make your car go as fast as you want it to depending on the size of your wallet etc.

But what kind of mods would have to be done to an R34 GTT to match/better an Evo 6 or other "quickish when stock" cars.

Im asking because availability of mods is something I need to consider when I get a skyline.

much appreciated

Execute flaming now.

Hey,

I have just swapped over from a 180sx that has an unlimited list of aftermarket goodies available to an R34 and I was quite suprised the lack of available parts and options for the 34, sure you can get alot of parts but there isn't much variety if you know what I mean.

But on the other hand I have found they respond very well to mods.

The only let down is the turbo, but there is a sponsor on here that does a Hi-Flow version quite cheap.

As you stated it all realy depends on one's budget.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Josh

generic cooler kits, turbo kits, injectors, universal fuel pumps, coilovers, ecu upgrades, wheels, gauges, exhaust systems..... i cant really see it a problem getting any of these to suit a R34 GT-t.

If you buy Japanese, or name brand, you shouldnt have any issues with finding stuff.

Greddy (Trust)/Blitz cooler kits

bolt on Garrett turbo upgrades to suit stock manifold or a Greddy/Trust kit.

Injectors (Nismo/Sard etc)

Bosch/Walbro/Nismo fuel pumps

Tein/HKS/G4 coilovers

Power FC/Haltech/Microtech/Wolf/Autronic ecu ugrades

Wheels, anything Jap like Volk/Rays or a GTR wheel

Gauges, (Blitz/HKS/Defi/Greddy/Autometer)

Exhaust, maybe X-Force does a bolt on kit, otherwise something Japanese.

Would be as easy to mod a R34 as it would any Skyline Id say, especially if your willing to buy brand new. Obviously the second hand market wont be any where near as strong as the R32/R33 market as the R34 hasnt been around as long.

Its already pretty big. Prices of R34s have dropped in the past year making it a more affordable for R32 nd 33 owners to upgrade to.

Lack of parts? I don't think so...there are so many online traders/sponsors importing stuff in from Japan its not funny..I struggle to resist throwing more $$ into the 34 every single day :)

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
