R34 Gtr Build


Recommended Posts

Thanks for having the car there, and touching on a few of the many special aspects of the car last night Bobby.

I hope you can realise your 3 goals with the car.

:)

Reading this has inspired me to stay with my original engine when I do my build, rather than swap to ls1/vh45, which is something I'd like to do.

Really keen to see dyno results, should definitely do a video when you get her on the dyno.

Just curious, is there any chance John would be interested in working/engineering (even just the design) on my car? Its a 90' 300zx tt.

Does your external oil pump actually fit on the opposite side to the air conditioner compressor??? I thought it was pretty busy down there and might hit???

If you would like a set of the brakes i can get the kit for you, its very cheap at the moment as the AUD dollar is high. No mods required straight bolt on.

is it the Brembo GTR series?

Fits easily with no clearance issue's . If you want the bracket made i can give you the details

Yeah that would be good. Having a Peterson pump installed in the AC position, but if I could get the ball rolling on an alternator side pump that would be awesome!

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
