Definitive Guide To Building 300-330awkw Gt-r

*Most people who don't live in the only state with a one intake mod law

Also who needs power in Victoria, it's always raining... Everything feels like 1000hp in the rain

You raise some valid points there...

I got nothin

[dori34]

Hypergear can high flow them to around -5 specs (i think it was around $900~ per turbo + delivery), theres a set for sale in the for sale section for a good price and comes with stock manifolds ported to match and theyre brand new!.

If you are keen to let go of your -7s at a good price, i may be interested

[JD32R]

If the dumps are split dumps (eg HKS), get rid of them and put on stock R34GTR dumps or even better the early model Tomei dumps (HPI is also good). This makes a big difference and Yavuz (Unigroup) will agree. Rest should be fine

Cam gears; Call RacePace in Bayswater Victoria for a price. They do their own, cost less than the Japanese brands but every bit as strong (if not stronger given they're using the stock outer section) and why not support local business

Injectors; ID1000's. May seem like a lot of capacity, but they drive better than the factory 444cc ones do, come with everything to fit RB26 etc and for Unigroup it's nothing they havnt done before. I cant comment on your fuel econ, thats for Yavuz to do, but I can tell you I had another brand of 1000's in my car, made the power fine but drivability was crap and fuel usage was a joke. Went to ID2000's and couldnt believe how the car drives now (just like stock, no jerking in very low throttle situations like carparks)

Would i be right to use something like the x-force dumps, tomei are too dear but super nice?? currently looking into R34 Gtr ones (what does a set go for roughly) will have the car on hoist this weekend so will have a look at what is all under there?

x force and various other dumps here:

http://www.300zx.com.au/pricelists/pricelist_gtrexhaust.htm

Also is worth while to port match the manifolds?? or should i look at something like the UAS extrude honed manifolds (link above)??

Looking at a new set of Tomei cam gears at present that are for sale in forums and got a good price and run down from Race Pace on their cam gears also? any preference or better way to go??

as for above post^^ sorry man looks like we are holding onto the dash 7s (presumed) for the time being..

If however down the track we might see.

thanks again for the help.

Ill make it as easy as I can so you can see the difference;

Split;

Open;

The split versions are not as good as the open (tested at Unigroup, they can confirm if you like), so they're an item that is worth spending the extra and getting the right one the first time. Yes it makes a difference. Ill PM you a contact for getting stuff cheap

Manifolds; Yes it's shown as worthwhile vs buying a set of stainless (dont buy stainless), I dont think UAS offer that service anymore though. The results I posted were with 100% stock manifolds that have not been touched in any way at all. I got a set done by someone in Sydney who knows his sh!t bigtime, he's not a business though, just a normal individual so if you wanted a set done I can ask if he can fit them in if you wanted. No guarantee's he will he say yes though. There's no way in hell i'd use a set of umodified stockers with that big ugly lip on them, If i had a picture of my modified ones i'd post it up but I dont sorry

Cam gears; What price have you got for Tomei and what price have you got for RacePace? I prefer the stock looking RacePace ones (cleaner look), but answer the questions on cost and that should make the choice simple.

Thanks very much mate for the detail. so basically xforce = split and better off going with 34gtr stock or tomei as are open.

would def appreciate the contact mate thanks!

yep, cant agree more. have read all the write ups about stainless over stock etc, would never look at getting stainless.

If you could ask him that would be something i would be very interested in cheers!. Unigroup dont provide such a service?? id prefer to keep the stock manifold were possible and port match were possible, over forking out for a brand new already ported manifold where possible.

The tomei gears are here: $400 delivered

Race pace: $350.

Ben at Race Pace said their in house gears are better for longevity as of the composition of the adjustable centre. (i also like yourself like the plainness of them over the flashy red tomei)

However the tomei are a good price from what ive researched.

thoughts??

Contact sent.

Unigroup dont really do jobs like that, thats not to say they wouldnt, the person I'm referring to is a customer of theirs and they'd probably ring him about it anyway.

Buy the RacePace cam gears. They work perfectly on a range of very hard driven GTR's without issue are $50 less and look nice and subtle.

The split design everybody has ripped off from HKS. The culprits being X-Force, CES, OBX, autobahn888 etc.. unfortunately they all have ripped off a flawed design. The split is just too short at approx 5-6" (I can't find the info I've read in the past, but Garrett's research has said there is no benefit to rejoining the wastegate and main exhaust gases until at least 12-18" down the main exhaust pipe)

theres afew r34 gtr dump pipes for sale recently in the for sale section

Great thread for us new guys. Search FTW.

I bought my car recently off a friend; 1990 R32 GTR. He did all the work, well paid for it, as I remember helping him with most of the stuff. I spent plenty of my weekends in his garage helping him out. So for me it was a good buy, as I knew the car inside out.

I am wondering if the engine is showing signs of 20years worth of wear, because it has all the following parts and puts out 260kw at the wheels at 22psi with sub 20 reading on the PFC knock sensor.

Garrett -7's

3" + dumps

550s

yellow tails coils

PFC

Z32’s AFM

cam gears

Nismo fuel reg and 044 pump

oil cooler

serviced and dyno'd at CRD

CRD have been great, so I think it’s the engine. Should I start preparing for an engine build? Slowly start accumulating parts like an N1 block, pistons.... If so, should I stick with updating the usual suspects, water/oil pumps, pistons …..

[zebra]

If you do want to build it, work out what you want to do with the car. If you want to change to larger turbo's down the track etc.

But yeah, Pistons, Crank Collar, new bearings and buy the best oil pump you can afford, usual stuff. you will be looking at around $7k

[Rolls]

Do an oil analysis, make sure the oil is at least 3000kms old, it will tell you if you have blowby, bearing wear etc, this will be a great way to tell if it is on its last legs.

Hey Fellas Could i please have some quick advice.. I own a 94 R32 GTR and Im after this power bracket as my goal also.

Now i have Stock turbos with Steel Wheels and unopened engine.

Im aware that the standard front mount intercooler is perfect for the job to reach this bracket but i would really love to get something that looks nicer that stands out... I was wondering if i could please get some advice to purchase a decent intercooler that will do the job at least as good or better then the standard one, as long as its not worse then the standard one... I was thinking about getting it sprayed silver, duno how id go about it though. Maybe i should get a R34 GTR intercooler but i cant seem to find someone thats selling one right now.

If i had to get a intercooler should i go fatter? i've been told go 100mm thick, Would that be better or stupid to do?. I Really dont want to cut shit on my car to fit this so something that will directly fit onto the car would be great.

Thanks heaps in advance for any help!

[N1GTR]

Spray the stock one silver if thats the colour you're after. Anything else is, as you put it; stupid. Well, unless you have some money you dont need in your wallet anymore. That said, it's your car so modify as you like

Yeah i was thinking the same thing, but is there a special way or place to get this sprayed. I dun wna destroy it ey. I love the aftermarket polished look tho. hard choice, but if i had to get a cheap shit aftermarket it could possibly be worse then stock hey

something like this would be awesome .. http://www.rimtuck.com/photo/view/322/1229916941.jpg/2

Putting on a 100mm thick core for a stock setup, ridiculous advice whoever gave it to you.

If you want it silver etc, just drop it off and get it stripped.

The black is just paint/coating. Any panel or polish joint will do it for a few bucks.

Gee, thanks guys for all your responses. all i need to do now is get the cash together. getting really excited for some more power... near stock gtr is feeling a little slow these days
