Hey guys,

i just bought a R34 GTR V-Spec. it should be here around the end of Feb.

i was just curious as to what other mods GTR owners have done to their so that the popo can't slap a defect on their cars.

thanks

that sounds kind of circular.

If you don't want a defect, don't mod it.

If you do mod it, then avoid the mods that can be defected.

Your friendly local tuning shop can certainly advise where the line is and you can figure out how close to skate to it, or over it.

Hey man congrats on the new car,

one thing ive noticed on the gtr is that the twin turbos act really well as resonators for the exhaust so you can buy some really well designed exhausts which flow well and fit snug against the body so it will give great ground clearance (unlike the silvia exhausts which sit sooo close to the ground)

Ive had mine tested and it came out at 88dB @ 5000rpm which is impressive but still howls when you put your foot down

a panel filter in the stock box will flow some great power....although you lose that nice induction sound

a power fc can be hidden well with a nissan sticker put over the logo and be replaced with the stocker if you get an EPA test

bost controller hidden somewhere in the engine bay (a HKS unit is black and dosent seem to be noticed) boost set at 1bar tuned and a low setting (under 1 bar) can be used if you have to remove the aftermarket ECU for the stocker

should get you over 240awkw - 250awkw (mines at 255 with only pods as an extra)

goodluck n enjoy the car

-Johnny

pretty much all the power mods that wont get me a defect, cuz im sick of getting them!!!!!!

i know i can have either a cooler or poddie

i know i cant have any type of boost controller, but is there anyway i can get the boost up without a manual or EBC???

thanks

You DEFINATELY don't need or want an aftermarket intercooler and you don't need pod filters either. They'll just attract attention.

A good start will be to remove the boost restrictor near the boost solenoid (search and U will find) and get a decent legal exhaust including aftermarket dump pipes and y pipe, a high flow cat and a legal cat-back or get a cat-back made. That should get you to about 220rwkw.

Next step would be a pair or 707160-9 turbos, a Power FC (unplug the hand controller once tuned and nobody will know) and a Turbotech boost controller (hidden). That should get you 300rwkw

how much boost does that restrictor hold back, and what will i be getting it up to??

are you talking about the $30 boost controller off ebay. isn't that a bit dangerous for running alot of power???

thanks

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
