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

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
