Hi guys,

Im looking at purchasing an R34 GTT coupe possibly with a sunroof, however I am 6'4...

I remember that when I sat in an s15 with a sunroof it was craped and my head touched the roof... without the sunroof it was ok.

Also I sat in an R33 with a sunroof and it felt also cramped but I didnt really adjust the car that much really.

Should I bother with an R34 and sunroof? maybe I could bring the seat right down and the steering wheel column can be lowered?

I dont care about the helmet not fititng iside the cabnin but I do want to be comfy in the car.

Any opinions?

you can lower the steering height (it is height adjustable like most cars).

personally from the skylines i've driven with sunroofs, i prefered the headroom in my one that didn't have a sunroof. also with sunroofs, there is the chance it if going to leak as some point in time. it's more a case of when, not if. all it takes is a slightly perishing seal and then it leaks.

I know exactly what you are going through - go sit in one and you will probably make the same heart wrenching decision i did - no sunroof.

Its just not quite enough head room to be comfortable if your tall.

I own 2 vehicles with sunnroofs and my skyline without.

Unless you have a specific need for it like throwing eggs at cars or your g/f likes to flash her tits I see no point. I cant remember the last time I opened the roof in either car other than when I first purchased them and even then it was just for the novelty.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
