This is a good thread for potential GTR owners....buy a GTR, then budget the cost of purchase for onging maintenace/upgrades/surprises. Still beats playing golf for kicks though!

Hope everything is progressing well.....very keen on updates!

Standard Dumps???

I Cant believe you went to the trouble of changing out turbos, fabricating custom front pipes & exhuast and then left the biggest restricting factor in the system on there...

Not sure if anyone else has suggested but if they are the cast ones...they are only good as paper weights, get a set of the stainless R34 GTR Dumps at a minimum...

Watching this space!!!

I made 340rwkw @ 18psi through stock R33 GTR dumps without a problem at all.

Put on Tomei ones when i put on -5s (compared to other -5 setups using stock dumps, same spec built engines/dyno), the only difference... The exhaust note sounded different. So probably not the best $600 I'd ever spent.

thanks for yuor honesty! I actually sold my tomei dump and manifold before even using them, used R34 one and r34 ported manifold instead.

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢
