Hi everyone :D

I'm new to the forum and to being a skyline owner. I've brought a nice Manual R34 GT-t through a broker and i'm currently waiting for it to come into australia. The only thing that i know about it is that it will need a major service done at 100,000kms (its done 99)

is there anything else that i should know?

money is tight now too so i'm also wondering if the RB25DET NEO in the year 2000 model of R34 has been detuned like the GTR's.

I don't want to play with the turbo too much if possable as i don't have the money to spend if she blows.

how much "reliable" power would i beable to get out of her from just a dyno tune?

thankyou an advance for your help :)

GTRs have RB26DETT and are not NEO either. To tune it, first you need a tuneable ECU (Nistune if it's available, Apexi PowerFC another popular choice). With the stock ECU you will be able to up the boost but you'll need a electronic boost controller ($300) or a cheap manual boost controller ($20-$80) and set the boost no higher than 10psi as the stock turbo (I think 10psi is fairly safe for that turbo) does not like boost at all.

Major service you're looking at about 1k minimum in parts + labour alone.. oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, brake fluid are part of SEVS scheme by the compliance shop.. though they use cheap fluids to do it though.

This is what a 100k service kit looks like (and looking at about $600 in labour to have it done): http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/ni...25det-p-91.html

pretty sure the stock boost on a r34 is the same as a r33, which is a low/high setup of around 5 and 7psi. the first thing you could do after you get the car is ground the solenoid to give you 7psi all the time (stock setting only gives you 7psi over 4500rpm)

as was said, you can't tune the stock ecu without altering it first (putting in a daughterboard) or going a full aftermarket ecu

crap, still a few more grand then. aftermarket ecu it is then. From what i've been told it may be a nylon turbo so i deffently wouldn't want to be pushing it. apparently they spool up quicker but wear faster too.

thankyou for your help :(

it is only the compressor wheel on the turbo that is nylon (series 2 r33 and r34's have this). the exhaust wheel is ceramic and that is the weak spot for all the skyline turbos. they don't handle heat as well as a steel turbo as the wheel and is why a sr20 can run 15psi on the stock turbo all day everyday and not have any issues.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
