New Owner R34gt

[missusR34GT]

Hi all,

I own an R34 NA GT sedan (got 3 kids). Great car, I love the sound as I pull out of the drive way - just as I accelerate I can feel the power kick in. Used to own a '96 Toyota Camry mind you.

Looking to put an air pod filter in, new panel filter, bigger cam gears and get a new paint job. also need to change the water pump and timing belt. atm it's gunmetal grey. Stock except for the rims. Can't wait - need to save $$$.

Looking forward to learning more and meeting some interesting characters.

Cheers,

Anna

Hi!

Wow... A mum buying an R34... You don't see that very day!

Nice to see you've got some tuning ambitions... I don't know what the go with NA is, but if you've got VCT (Variable Cam Timing), I'd advise you keep it, it helps with midrange power, something which is even more vital without a turbocharger... I'm doing some work to my R34 turbo manual sedan... I'm doing my darnest to keep my VCT, with tomei poncams...

Howdy,

Yes and you can imagine the looks I get. Esp. from the youngens in their tricked up lancers and what not. I'm 23 and asian so that doesn't help because they think I'm some ditz in an R34 who just turned 18.

But yeah I'm easing my way into the car scene. Wasn't really into the whole business until I got one, now I just want to do all these things. but I know I need to slow down and research.

I think first thing's first, timing belt and water pump need to be changed because I've reached just over 100k in kms and have recently changed ignition coils to splitfire coils. Fiance (he owns an R33GTST) told me when you change the coils its best to change the timing belt and water pump as well. What are your thoughts on that?

I want to respray the body Burple (Blue/purple) . Still researching on how I should go about it. Any ideas?

Not sure which cam gears are actually in there so I should find that out before I do anything.

Thanks for your advice Mark, hope we can talk more =)

Cheers,

Anna
