Racepace Built R34 Gtr Nur Rb28 V-cam


Recommended Posts

Modifying a GTR is like an addiction, and in my case I was becoming a junkie!

Before long, I was at it again. I will let the pictures below tell the story....

The inspiration was the Z Tune. The modifications were obvious to the astute observer, however, here is the list below:

Nismo R Tune carbon bonnet

Nismo Z Tune front guards and front bumper

Nismo Air intake piping and air duct

Nismo Z Tune intercooler

Nismo side skirt and rear spats

Nismo GT urethane gear knob

Nismo MFD II

Superior carbon dash cover

All Nismo items were genuine, therefore they were no issues with fitment and finish.

A Power FC retune yielded a slight increase in maximum power output, possibly due to larger intercooler:

I will keep this thread alive by updating periodically

Thanks for compliments everyone. But did someone mention wheels?

Self confession - I am a wheel whore

The gunmetal Nismo LMGT4s are limited edition 2005 model with centre cap to replicate GT series GTR.

More goodies to come....

Can you tell me the color code for the Volk mags? iv got bronze Advanti mags but they aren't a very nice shade anymore. :blush:

Would greatly appreciate it thanks.

Pics of LMGT4s fitted with Bridgestone RE010R 265/35 R18 tyres. The Bridgestones are way better than the Hankooks.

I ended up selling the TE37s to another forum member before I had a chance to even trial fit them.

Deep down, I regret selling those TE37s; I would still really like to own a set of 19" TE37s but 10.5" in width and with a more aggressive offset.....

I agree that the TE37s, LMGT4s and Ce28Ns suit the GTR to perfection!

Unlike what the topic of the thread suggests, so far I have not shown anything about a RB28 or V Cam!

Here's a teaser pic of what's installed (plus a few extra bits not shown):

Details of parts list will be posted over the weekend.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
