How to get a performance upgrade for under 6k for your R34GTT

1. $50 for an ad in carsales to sell your car

2. Free to search car sales for a GTR

3. $60 Tank of bp98 to get to said GTR owners house to view car

4. $X amount of money for aforementioned GTR (obviously not as much as an R34 GTT will cost stock).

5. $Stamp duty

6. $ Taxi to get to house of GTR owner to pick up your new car (If possible and not contstrained due to owner being over east)

This will get you about 2 x the performance and over 9000x more enjoyment.

Feel free to add to this list.

I have made the change and a few others also ^ refer to Gersfan.

I'm going to assume that you are talking about getting a R32 GTR since it would be achievable for money he is talking, believe it or not, maybe he doesn't want to go from a fairly newish car to something that is 20 years old and will probably end up costing him more money once 20 year old parts start letting go.

He asked for 6k onto his car, not telling him to sell his car.

It really depends. How much power you are looking for man? I would go a MAP sensored ECU to avoid having to uprade the MAF everytime you want more power etc. But you will definately need a better fuel pump. Some nismo injectors as everyone else has suggested (only because of their spray pattern and they use stock wiring harness) and of course a bigger turbo. An easy bolt on HKS gtrs would be perfect. PM-R33 who just posted before me make between 260 and 270kw with it and it is very responsive. Unless you are talking bigger power then I would go the HKS 3037 or something around that area. But like I said it depends how much power you want to make and if you want it responsive or not. There are SOOOOOOOO many things you could spend the money on. Ive already put a shit load into my car and Im still putting together shopping lists :blink:

Then when you blow your stock turbos and pay a mechanic a grand in labour and 2 - 3 grand for a new pair of turbos only to realize you now have turbos that can push alot more air and need a tune. At this point you decide you may aswell get injectors, what are they worth these days a grand? maybe z32 afms to match, another 600, how bout a fuel pump? walbro going to be enough? may aswell do an external setup theres another 400 bucks atleast, plus the labour.

All because you wanted to run 1 bar on your stock turbos to beat a stock little evo when all you really wanted was to make your GTT faster.

And in the end the evo still won. Take my word, Ive been there.. But was lucky enough to be driving the evo :blink:

And now back on topic, I would start off with doing the front/dump/cat if you have not already then move onto a fuel pump, boost tap, highflow turbo and a tune. You could probably get away with that for half what your looking at spending and net yourself a respectable 230rwkw. If you have already got a full exhaust invest the money into a Z32/walbro/injectors for another easy 20kw. In all theory your current setup is good for roughly 160rwkw? enjoy and GL

Hypergear hiflow or HKS gtrs.

seems you have done a few hypergear turbos. Been reading about them here

i consistently hear that cheap turbo upgrades should be avoided, and its virtually half the price of a GCG (i think).

you install them. Work with them. i got 185rwkw bit under 12 psi stock turbo with the usual support mods. Wouldnt mind a solid 220 or whatever it can (40rwkw gain should be noticeable which is my only requirement - a kick in the pants) Highflow is as far as ill take the modifications with this car (r33 gtst s2). Had any fail? install a headache? (ill be paying someone to do it all ie labour blow outs...)

Do you rate in your opinion as worthwhile ignoring the fact they are considerably cheaping than other options available. Seen many fail? ill spew if i went the cheap option only to have to do it again in 6 months....

Any comments from someone in the trade is appreciated. Im not after massive kw's just something that is up to to task without pushing it to its limits ( as i am now with the stock turbo).

Cheers.

Yeah again every thing is relative the turbo is cheaper but the Hypergear is not a true bolt on as it requires different intake piping and oil lines so it costs a bit more to fit than a GCG but is still within the means of any DIYer. For what you want i would get the smallest highflow and aim for 230rwkw.

Hey I bought A R34 Gtt around 6 months ago. I have already put a Greddy front mount on it and a Kakimoto exhaust.

I was just wondering what other upgrades could I do for under $6000?

That's a bit of cash there.

How many kW's you want :)

Just to name a few.

Boost controller

APexi Power FC

Upgrade upgrade your turbo

You thought about suspension / brake / drivetrain / wheel mods?

Unless you have it.

i like this plan but with a GCG highflow. ease of fitment. i would do it if i were keeping my stagea,

Yeah cause of his power output i said the hypergear, the GCG ones do make more power though.

Well the high flow still using stock housings so they do bolt back with no modifications. The only reason that Daniel's had a different comp housing is because he sold his old turbo and I've built him one with only a turbine housing. For every one who did sent in a complete turbo did fit back the way it was with all fittings bolt up.

Most People chose to have the basic high flow, which is better in response with slightly less on top end. We do have powered up options, and bigger turbine housings at additional costs. its not about we can not high flow a turbo with more power, Its about options that people choice plus amount wish to spent to do this “high flow”.

The test car I bought had 5 cracked pistons, which have wasted lot time. engine's currently overhauled, it will be back n running shortly. Which I will prove results of the latest developments.

P.s. There has been a turbine shaft update in the RB25det high flow profile. should see a power increase without lag. I have 2x customers comming your way Trent, see how they goes.

Follow this guide.

Basically

1) Exhuast

2) Intake

3) Boost controller + upboost

4) ECU upgrade

This is pretty much the limit you can take the stock 34 turbo. Should see anywhere from 240 - 270rwhp out of it.

After this your going to have to get Injectors, Turbo, AFM, Remap and other little things like cams to push the power further which costs a lot more dosh.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
