hello all, i have a R34 GT-T 1998 model.. 2 door.

some of u probly already posted to my other noob threads but im getting better :D

It is completely stock at the moment and i have a few ideas for it and im in the middle of chasing up quotes etc

some of you may of already seen my posts but at this stage i have pretty much made up my mind i just got a few q's to ease my mind a bit before i start blowing some dosh :)

Basicly this is what i have gatherd so far... im still a bit torn between pod/fmic as the gtt already has a smic good for 200rwkw and thats all i want... i think the only reason i could justify spending the extra money is if im not going to reach my goal with my stock cooler and pod then i can go for a fmic and a performance filter in my box. Also do brands play a part in anything as i have nfi on brands or what to use... and i like the 3" exhaust but if i go 3" all the way it may be too loud but i dont want to restrict flow? im going to contact my tuner today and ring around for pricing so yeh i guess the more info i have the better... is there any advise you guys recommend before contacting shops?

Here is a list of what i have in mind so far.

Nissan R34 GT-T 1998 White

Engine/Performance: 200Rwkw Goal.

Stage 1:

Engine test before any mods. & Dyno run

Sparkplugs/Coilpacks: Replace with new Spitfires/yellow jackets? & Japanese performance spark plugs (ngk irradiums?)

Exhaust: Full exhaust, Dump pipe 3" open bell mouth, 3" high flow cat(info) 3"

Back end high flow muffler (Bigger size cat?) (twin tip) dont want it too loud but still want a nice sound no droning sound etc..

Intake: Pod style air filter, heat shield, cold air intake (use the stock one?) or new front mount cooler.

Stage 2:

Boost increase: Electronic boost controller 10psi constant, remove 2 stage controller.

Ecu/Tune : Nistune software. (dont need to spend big $ for the power i want)

Exterior/Interior - Main WHITE - with colour coded dark/black colours.

18" Shadow Chrome/Black Rims (like the 34 gtr rims too expensive.) buddy style rims?

Front Bumper/Lip: Like the black lip on the bottom of the GTR - series 2 front with lip.

Boost gauge replaced with psi reading boost gauge / replace all gauges.

Pedals: Series 2 style pedals.

New gear shift nob: (stock one is slightly loose in set position)

Suspension: 1" lower after rims are put on possible coilovers? (like how car is handling at the moment just want to lower it)

Brakes: performance brake pads/calipers - to match colour code

Rear wing: Carbon fiber tipping. "on sides of wing and where wing is mounted"

    • 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).
