Gtr Modification..


Recommended Posts

beleive me when the cat is not bashed out and all that shit is still in there you can tell your gtr wants to go but it just doesnt, also makes the exhaust sound abit different(more rb sound) well im just telling you how my car was with it and how it was after i changed exhaust, mate all you need is an pfc and a decent tune and beleive me thats pretty much the bolt on mods done but also make sure you change ur cam gears, lol mate when you change them it will feel like the hks r34 gtr(ultimate response lol), just trust me and go do them and you wont regret it, they are mods that i got and mate i love it, not sick of the power, ok some people have more power but beleive me where you are now and where your gona be afetr those mods is a complete difference mate and will be a diff car, you say your getting exhaust done as we speak, that will cost you a fair bit but if its full from turbo back,

apexi pfc- 1k

cam gears etc. greddy,hks,tomei will cost you $380-$480 delievered

timing belt- $150

and then ofcourse the labour but these at the best mods to do to your gtr from stock,

cheers tony

a bit of an important issue is cooling. i noticed my gtr heating up very quickly once spirited country twisties came into play. the first thing i invested in was an oil cooler and filter relocation kit. relocation kit helps if you want to survice it yourself. my temperatures dont budge anymore with the cooler fitted even when its being pushed. next was power fc. makes minimum difference on basic mods but its great in the long run.

for one this big ur looking at around $1400 rrp bit i got mine as massive overkill so i never have to upgrade to a larger one. u can get much much cheaper.. this is a grex/trust kit

how much are the ol coolers these days, alot of people tell me to get one for my gtr, aparentely the grex oil cooler kits are very popular

cheers tony

Going by Nengun's website, Oil Coolers range from

HKS Type S = $479.79

HKS Type R = $644.77

BLITZ = $918.20

TRUST = $780.69

Unless for track work and / or moderate spirited runs like what jenkies does, I don't see the point for just normal street use but it doesn't hurt to have one I guess.

ive looked at those.. wouldnt hurt..

well my original plans were to finish the exhaust then n1 turbos (or sum similar), Power fc, cams, tune and then ive been told of the 300+kw and thats exciting..

im not after ridiculous power but def want near that 300 mark. anything above 250-260 would be awesome.. :thumbsup:

I see

guess depends how hard you wanna take your car.

I have driven cars with 303 awkw and the temps seems fine.

Then you might aswell upgrade your radiator LOL!

what was it like driving that much power? must have been awesome...

i just think how quick mine feels and how much more there could be..

im excited just thinking about it... :thumbsup:

Buddy, its FUN!

Drove a R33 GTR with all the bolt on goodies.

Cause it had low mount twin turbos, the response was there and a smooth rev from 3000 RPM to 7500 / 8000 RPM.

Same with a V-Spec II Nur I drove as well, again tuned at about 300 awkw, VERY Refined.

    • Remember our cars are 30+ years old so expect the rubber bits to leak. I'd go around your engine bay with a can of "start ya bastard" or similar and look for leaks. FYI I got my car 10+ years ago with the standard boost restrictor in place, I removed it when I got it and the car never had any issues since (besices a leaking manifold gasket). tl;dr- Look for leaks before proceeding.
    • That SSR is actually the same (or similar) as the Jaycar 100AMP SSR (which I use). They suggest the resistor to stop the SSR turning on when the ECU turns off (I believe). I personally don't use the resistor as I use the 5V output from the ECU to supply power to the SSR. I do however run a flyback diode, the old Haltech documentation was wrong too and didn't specify the fly back, I mentioned it to a few of their staff and they eventually added it in.
    • I did manage to do this without removing the engine or front cross member, but I had the advantage that the exhaust manifold was removed. I am not setup to support the engine from the top or remove it. 1. Loosen the engine mount nuts so they only have a nut of thread. If it is a manual, I think you have to remove the gearbox to engine support brackets. 2. Jack up the engine off the bottom idler mount. Jack it up till the end of the slot and nut on the mount. You need this clearance to get the pan out at the rear of the engine. 3.Break the sealant seal to sump. I found a oil pan separator tool helpful to get it started. 4. The oil pick up can be removed with the gap available.  5. The oil pan can be removed now. 6. Before assembling, do not apply sealant to the oil pick up area as your hand will rub it all off but apply to the other three and a bit sides. 7. It is a two man job to put the oil pan back, with the sealant, as you do not want it to touch anything and rub off. 8. With one person supporting the oil pan the other can fit the oil pickup 9. Apply the remaining sealant. This would be more difficult with the manifold or turbo in place, but I think it could be done. As you can see my sealant is a bit ugly, but good enough to seal. 10. Lift the sump up to the engine and bolt it on. We found it was easier to use two long guide bolts at each end to get it nice and aligned without touching.
    • I find building an exhaust a really satisfying job! Looks nice!   Did you consider using an oval pipe to get the same cross sectional area but keep it above the chassis rail?
    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu Sounds good.  Just double checking with the pull up resistor indicated in haltech's info sheet for their SSR - https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-030202-solid-state-relay-100-amp/  I'm guessing that would only be if the ECU did not have an internal pull up resistor? Their instructions are pretty strongly worded lol "1K pull-up resistor MUST be fitted."
