i was at a tuner mate of mine, who's got a red r34gt in, hes just rebuilt the engine, full rb26 with all the goodies, fully forged engine, converted to single turbo, manual 5 speed ( nearly brand new, just rebuilt) with uprated rear diff being 4.3 ratio and a 1.5 or 1way from a r33 gtr custom rebuilt. (this thing can barely turn corners) coilovers, heavy duty clutch, custom exhaust /downpipe/manifold with 100 cell cat, only cut corner on this car is the turbo, one of the ebay nuggets, but otherwise, this cars engine build up is top notch!!! been following it since it got into the shop.

its running the stock r32gtr ecu as well, engine top is custom painted, in metallic cherry red with high gloss, like glass and the cam gears are chromed with the clear gear cover. (for a bit of show), now i asked the owner if hes willing to sell, and he said yes hes asking for 30k, he got over 20k in receipts alone!! is the car worth it?? or what would be a decent price???

registered etc

any help would be great.

Yeah as the above said whatever you spend on it doesnt mean thats whats its worth, I wouldnt pay 30 for it. Part of that is I prefer buyin stock and doing it myself its what keeps me entertained but even apart from that I wouldnt be willing to pay 10g more than a normal r34 just because its had some work done on it and then theres also the side of the more you do to it the more chance you get of stuff breaking.

For 30k I would buy a nice 32 or 33 GTR, a R34 GT with a 26 in it is still only a R34 GT.

This would be something I would look at for that money, or,

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
