i bought an r34 gtt and is stock overall, not even a boost controller!!! got about 1500 to spend straight up just wondering wat would be the most sensible and effective power wise if u you give me ur opinions would be appreciated thanks guys

Congrats on your new wheels eh?

I'd scrounge thru the "For Sale' section to improve your "Parts for your Buck' equation.

Do you need to help your car breathe better beyond the turbo? Example; hi flow cat, exhaust 3" or greater?

It took me over 2 years to get the rims I wanted.

i just dont no what i should be looking 4 . i was thinking get a boost controller splitfire coilpacks and then like front mount injectors fuel pump how does that sound

^^^ What you're talking about here then Matt, is a prelude to a turbo upgrade. In that case, you're on the right track.

Intercooler would then be on the shopping list too.

Talk to (ie PM) satanic about his R34 GT-T upgrade process... or others that post up next.

Satanic won best R34 at the R34 GT-R 10th Anniv. 04/09

His car (with specs) is featured on MOTIVE DVD #3 out now in newsagents (chapter 8).

THANKS MATE ILL BE SURE TO CHEK IT OUT

Well I'm a little similar to you, bought my GT-T bog stock, as in stock everything.

Did the pod and 3" turboback exhaust first. Then before more "power specific" upgrades I chucked in splitfire coilpacks (simply because I was missfiring), coilovers and good rubber on my new wheels. This means I can get what power I do have down to the ground better in all circumstances.

I'm about to buy a new boost controller as my next "upgrade". Before you go getting a FMIC, spend your money elsewhere. An ECU and a tune is the way to go rather then a new cooler, this will maximise your power output, minimise your petrol bill as the stock SMIC is good for 200kw at the rears. Why fix whats not broken?

So if your after simple power/number upgrades... air filter, exhaust, boost, ECU/Tune, Intercooler. Just remember there is more then just power to think about suspenion, brakes and tyres are all integral parts of a good Skyline.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
