Hi all, I would like show you all my R34 GT-T that i pick up last week. This is my second skyline, the previous skyline was an R32 GTS-T (manual) that i had for over three years... but thats a story for another day. When purchasing this skyline i had some guide lines i wanted to stick to which was, R34, must be turbo, Auto, not heavily modified, enjoyable daily drive, stock suspension. This car fits all these well. I had these guide line's for a couple of reasons , my R32 had coil overs (not the best on country roads), in the later stages the R32 also had and twin plate clutch (extremly brutal for normal driving conditions). Some lessions learned from past experiences help me choose this skyline.

Plans for the future, wanting to compete in drag racing and events like powercruise, modifications will mainly be focused towards responsive power and putting it down. Here are some pics tell me your thoughts. cheers Azza

No it was midnight blue,

Trick up the auto and it will be better for drags than a manual...

yep for those who have been in a high powered turbo car autos are great as they dont drop of boost between gears.

P.S. just added a turbosmart dual port on the week end, first mod for maximum respect LOL.

ur f**king clueless buddy

auto is defiantely faster than a manual.

Yup as long as the auto is good ie. quick changes and changes at redline etc and we are talking about a straight line. Cause the manual would win around a track.

Your on the money.

heading down to test and tune at willowbank this saturday to get some bass times, for feedback in the future.

Does any know what suspenion i should look for, I have read that stock is best for draging, but it looks like a monster truck at the moment. lol :(

stock is good as it allows the car to squat and weight transfer far better than most of the stiffer aftermarket setups.

Worn out stock is even better.

also some fat rubber on stock 16" (R34 non-turbo) rims for the back - when at the drags. Low profile is not good for drags.

Run your 17" (R34 turbo) rims for the street.

A couple of perks working at a tyre shop is buy tyres at great prices even beter is when your at bridgestone so you get quality tyres at good prices. today i got a set of bridgestone REO 070's believe me they stick like shit to a blanket. :)

Test 'n' Tune went well last night. so i've got my base time now i can strat planing my next mods and start saving.

Here are my results: 60' - 2.257

330 - 6.232

1/8 - 9.480

MPH- 75.41

KPH- 121.36

1000'- 12.298

1/4 - 14.661

MPH - 95.88

K/mh- 154.31

Not to bad for a first time out in completly stock car. (i beat my bros time in his BF XR8 manual ute)

UPDATE : Goal = 11.99> sec qtr mile (while keepong the engine bay as stock looking as possible (no high mounts)

Game Plan : Remap eg nistune or piggyback ecu (r34 neo auto controll built into stock ecu)

Fuel system, Warlbro intank, turbosmart fuel pressure reg (injectors only if needed)

Air flow, high flow or gt28 turbo (open to suggestions) , dumppipe, high flow cat

FMIC (must use factory pipe work),

Auto, stall (3000rpm), Shift kit(try to use factory lever and steering wheel controlls),

auto cooler

Diff, nismo 1.5way or similar

Wheels and tyres drag rears 255/55R16 m/t drag rads on r32 gtr wheels

street allround 225/45R17 b/s re070's street (DONE)

Stock springs and shocks (easy one DONE)

So thats the plan with some secrets withheld, any suggestions welcome to help me get to that magic 11 seconds

Update:

As some of you would know the 6 banger nats were on a Warwick dragway during weekend of sep 18-19.

I returned home with no prize but had a great time and a improvment on my 1/8 mile time. My good freind Noddy put me up for the night though racing sunday was canceled due to rain. Rod from RAW Automotive and Performance Dalby who made the trip out with me came runner up in Blown/Turbo class in Turbo crossflow powered t bucket. Any ways here is my best run for the day.

Reaction: 0.727

60ft : 2.205

MPH : 84.89

1/8 : 9.197

With that my 1/4 maile time would be some where in 14.3 sec zone with no extra modes just some practice.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
