R34 GT25 Specs

[Guest Munky]

Hey all,

I'm due to pick up an R34 GT25 in the next 2 weeks, and am very happy with it! Turbo was out of the question due to insurance and the likes, so I decided to go with an N/A R34.

I was just wondering if anyone could provide me with some solids specs for it? I've heard lots of rumours about the car, the most entertaining of which was that it can outrun a turbo R32. I'd be interested in hearing specs such as the KWs etc, and also what sort of cars R34s can outrun.

Here she is (aint she pretty )

Well looks like another proud owner of a 25GT

factory specs are:

RB25DE Neo Strait 6 engine.

Power 200PS (147KW) at 6,000rpm

Torque 26.0 at 4,000rpm

Weight 1340KG

You will be able to dust many a Commodore and Falcon as long as it's not packing a V8 or turbo.

Its a luvly lookn car

If i may ask, how much it set u back?

and is it an auto or manual.

[Guest Munky]

Sure is

$31,000

31000kms on it, 6 stacker CD player, 16" Nismo wheels (dunno which type)

and its manual

[666DAN]

Nah they're the stock N/A wheels...same as my ones

[Driver]

cool

did ya import it?

[Guest Munky]

Nah a friends mate did.

I like the rims. Will probably keep em for a while.

Planned mods are just basic to start off with.

Firstly an exhaust (any advice on what type would be great, keeping in mind that I am going to turbo it further down the line)

Secondly just basic interior like floormats and sports pedals and maybe for exterior some underglow (i know its ricey but its sick )

Then I'll either get 2 12" subs to compliment the system in it already (I think its just the stock system with a CD stacker and a head unit)

Then I'll consider getting some new wheels. Im thinking maybe white rims. Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

[Driver]

Yea i second white rims, they go well..

Just get a decent 2 1/2" exhaust setup

I recently just bought a 25GT which looks almost identical to the one you just bought. To say that I am pleased with it is an understatement.

For the exhaust I have recently (read: today) fitted an HKS Super Dragger II exhaust. It is a bit bigger than it should be I spose (3.25") but, like you, I am looking to turbo it too, so I was recommended to buy a turbo exhaust first, rather than buying a non-turbo, then replacing it later. Also very impressed with this purchase.

As for the white rims, unless you've got some time on your hands, don't bother. I had white rims on my Lancer and spent more time cleaning them than actually driving the car Nothing beats allow in my opinion.

[Driver]

Im not exaclty sure but wouldnt you loose a bit of power with a 3.25" zorst?

[Guest Munky]

Thats what I thought. As soon as you go too big, its undoing everything an exhaust is there for. That said I'm not going to turbo it for about 3 or 4 years (I'm still 18), so I think it could be worth just investing in the 2.5" recommended by Driver. Cheers for the input tho Got any piccys?

[SS8_Gohan]

$31K?? Must be absolute mint condition! As in, "as new"??

congrats on the purchase!

cheers.

[Guest Munky]

Yeh its perfect condition. 31k kms

[666DAN]

It’s well worth paying for a mint condition car, my one was VERY good when I got her, as new condition.

BTW mate you’ll find your insurance will only jump about $100 for putting the turbo on…if you’re lucky it won’t jump at all

[crooser]

I had a 3" cat back on my 33 when it was NA - damn it was loud! sweet but loud!

2½" would be the better choice, as already mentioned

[Driver]

I had a 2 1/2" exhaust on my old NA r33

It had 2 resinators and a muffler and it was around 130db's still!!

Go for a decent muffler and you wont have as much trouble as me

[Guest Munky]

Just a question, you reckon an R34 with an aftermarket turbo would go harder than a stock turbo (assuming you got the best possible setup)? Also does that justify a GTT label, or is it still a GT25 + T?

Finally what do you guys think about powerchips. My understanding is that it definitely wouldnt be worth getting till after turboing the car since I'd have to replace it anyway...

[666DAN]

Munky to cover that....I still call my one a 25GT+t cause that's what it is...just like calling a GTS25t a GTR just cause it's got an RB26DETT in it...it just isn't one.

I'd say even though I used an R33 turbo...got a restrictive exhaust but used and aftermarket computer...my one feels like it goes harder than the stock 25GTt...with a better exhaust on my car I think it'll be quite impressive....for a turbo'd 25GT that is

Excellent car, 18, with a $31,000 .. goodjob , anyway take off that damn ugly wing...

[Guest Munky]

Just out of interest, what insurance company did u guys go with.

I'm thinking of insuring it in my dad's name and not list myself as a 2ndary driver. I have heard its just a 2000$ excess if you crash. Am I being fed red herrings?

If so what is the best option?
