Help On Modin My R34 Gt-t

[stormintigers]

Hey all... I have just brought me self a R34 GT-t, 98'..., It already has a 3" piping and exhaust, and a drift pod filter...,

i have been reading from this web site.

http://nissanskyline.6te.net/

On how/or what to mod first and so on...

I wanted to ask anyone in here about modin me car. Should i just stick to that web site, or should i be doing other mods first, what to look out for etc etc...just a list and where to start...cheers

[jase-r34]

Hey mate, nice choice of car Just do a search on these forums and you will find a million threads on modding them. Enjoy!

[.WILKO.]

depends on what you wonna do...

do you want to do a few little mods, do you wonna go full on?..

do you want massive power numbers or response..

do you want drift,drag or grip

work out what your goal is first then assess appropriate mods.

if you just wanna mod it for the sake of moddin it then start chopping

start off with simple stuff nistune ecu and an ebc then work your way to a bolt on turbo, poncams, injectors, z32 and a retune, you will need to upgrade your clutch before you do any of these mods too

The advice on that website is quite sound but there is a heap of good stuff on here. Only quibble with the other website - don't bother with SAFC etc since you have a neo engine get a Nistune chip for your ecu as soon as poss (since you already have the 3in exhaust) and before you up the boost. Get a good tuner to up the boost and tune it.

Half the stuff on that website is either out of date, or was ripped from the very pages of this forum many years ago.

Things have changed, read the FI Guide, it has all the links you require.

[gwilkinson34]

You'll want a GT3076r, 700-800cc injectors, Haltech / Vipec / Motec map sensor ECU, fuel pump (take your pick), HD clutch, cold air intake, and E50 or E85 fuel. Oh and a big FMIC.

Then you'll want adjustable camber arms, stock shocks and some very wide rear tyres.

Do it once and do it right.

Hehe

yeah the skyline.6te site is a good start, but the way it words the upgrades is misleading

ie adding an intercooler you magically go from 165rwkw to 180rwkw

this is incorrect and misleading and people will assume you do that only and magic power increase

it also lists each mod as giving you power, which is misleading also i tihnk

but thats a different topic, if someone could update that skyline.6te site that would be prefect

and incoude some of more recent changes such as nistune etc

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

how much power do u want mate?

whats ur budget?

do u wanna mod for looks, power, handling, etc ? maybe a nice lil allrounder

start with a nice jap cooler, a good hi flowing 3 inch exhaust, coilpacks and a hiflow air filter panel.

then some coilovers, and swaybars (these r the best thing i did for my handling there amazing) and a mild brake pad and rotor upgrade so it handles alot better than the shitty factory stuff does.

and goood tyres are a must.

then once u have gotten used to the handling really well check out the forced induction thread and find a turbo upgrade u like.

that should do u sweet bro

[R31Nismoid]

you certainly dont need a "jap" cooler etc.

Some of the gear from SAU traders is half the price and does the same job

[stormintigers]

Thanks to all of you!!!! Cheers...

To answering some questions, Im looking at mods, to making A""nice all rounder car" Power and handling.

Not going over the top...

First Im more of a car enthusiast, than knowing about whats goes under the hood... Me, i can fix your pc, build you a new one or get you just about any prog...If you know what i mean.. When it comes to cars, i can drive them, and i can drive them well, but knowing the engine and mods for it all...well, sorry, not my strong point...

So this is what Im looking at:-

What Ive got, R34 GTt 98'

3" exhaust, from turbo/to exhaust tip

drift Hi flow pod filter.

19" rims

Full body kit, with fiber glass bonnet/with breath holes, 2 for heat, 1 for pod filter

And its black.. will put a pic for my avatar soon..after i clay bar it.

down side.. its a.. and Im HATING saying but its a Tiptronic...

I needed a car, and i couldn't find a manual for a couple of weeks..

anyway, when you all get of the shock horror.

Things i was going to do next (and this is what Im asking about)

boost controller

aftermarket ECU.. not to sure which or what one??

intercooler

fuel pump

sway bars (maybe)

dyno tune

Now, am I fooling my self, am I missing something, should I be looking/doing something totally different???Please comments, chop and change my ideas...

Fix my list.....

Cheers all....

Looks like a fairly good list for a mild car.

You may not need the fuel pump if you are not changing injectors / turbo unless it starts to lean out on the dyno when being tuned. Although it wouldn't hurt to chuck in a GTR pump for safety.

If you are not going too wild then a Nistune ECU might be your best (and cheapest) bet.

Be warned: you WILL want more power quickly once you've gotten to this stage - guaranteed

[paulr33]

your only ecu option for tiptronic is nistune

all the other options i can think of give you mangled gear changes so dont bother

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

im pretty sure a wolf v500 can be used in conjunction with an auto

[Jap_Muscle]

if your plannin to keep the car for a while i guess the skys the limit. but personally id be trying to sell it off and upgrade to a manual. its such better base to work from and saves you lots of money down the track.

the trend for big power these days is going the dirty 30 route (rb30 bottom end) with either a GT30 or GT35r Garret turbo for 300-400rwkw with supporting mods.

the 2 biggest questions for you to answer at this stage is.

1: what do you want the car to do/be (drift, drag, track, cruise, VIP, ect)

2: how much money do you have.

then ppl can give you much better advice. i havnt heard many good things about the autos, but goodluck

[KiwiRS4T]

If you are not going to track the car auto will be fine. You can always get a shift kit from MV autos and beef up the box if you go for big power or convert it to manual if you want. For the ecu the nistune chip is by far the best value for money. A heavier rear sway bar will be the best bang for buck in the handling department. When you get the Nistune up the boost to 10psi and get a good dynotune.

Agree with the nistune and 10psi. I also have a turnflow intercooler (no holes). This made 190rwkw and is a huge improvement over standard. I was beating or equal with a mates mostly standard 33 GTR running 14psi.

However, I disagree with just fitting a heavier rear sway bar. I bought both and fitted just the rear initially, the car felt like it handled well but once you got into a corner it oversteered something shocking! Once I fitted the heavier front sway bar as well did the car gain back its balance.

I am stuck here as the car is fantastic. Sure I would love more power, keep looking at 3076 kits but I know its going to be at least 5-6k until the car is going again and I am really enjoying how reliable the car is at the moment. Instead I am going to start joining in the SAU track days and use what I have.

Well no I willnt be going to the track. Its just a street car. But you know, boys and there cars..... So yeah Im looking for power and handling... Getting the NIStune chip in a week or 2... with the shift kit. I read up about it, in one of these fourms. Just want to know if its worth getting it, since i have tiptronic, will the shift kit make any difference... I was already getting the valvebody for hard shifts...And if anyone is going to ask, i always use the tiptronic anyways, cant stand the hole auto thing.. with the boost controller, should i be looking at the manual one or the Electronic boost controller??? And i was thinking about getting an intercooler. That would be the end of stage 1 (maybe an GTR fuel pump)

in short Stage 1

NIStune ECU

valvebody or shift kit

booster controller

intercooler

fuel pump ??

Stage 2 ( to come in the next following months)

turbo

injectors

coilovers..

OK so what do we think about that????

And money wise at the moment, i have around $4000 mark..
