Hey,

I have been stock piling aftermarket parts for a while and once my turbo arrives I'll be pretty much set to put everything in and get it tuned. The car currently has 3" turbo back exhaust (gutted cat), fmic installed which I put on. My jim berry clutch will be going in within a week or 2.

I have nismo 555cc injectors, nismo intank fuel pump, z32 nistuned ecu, z32 afm, metal induction pipe (with stock returns), greddy profec b ebc and the r34 turbo is currently with stao at hypergear getting high flowed.

Im not currently that great with doing work on my car, but I want to learn because i daresay this wont be the last of the mods I do and i actually enjoy working on it.

Just wondering if anyone is willing to help me out with putting a few of the above items in the car before i take it to get it tuned? Im happy to pay you if needed. I know i can get it all put in at the tuners, but i wont be able to see/learn how it is all done by paying them to do it for me.

I realise that if all of those things go in at once, the car will have to be towed which is fine, but even if someone is willing to help me put in the parts that wont affect the cars ability to limp to the tuners thatd be good.

The nistune board should be a straight plug in from what I have been told, as i bought it from Matt at nistune and he said he had worked out a way to do all the modifications necessary inside the ecu rather than have to fiddle with the pins etc. I think he also loaded the r33 base map with the er34 afm on there for me as well.

.

If anyone is willing to help me out, let me know and ill be happy to remunerate you however you see fit.

Hey Mitch

I'm going to be doing the exact same job as you when my last thing the z32 shows up.

Once mine has been sent of I will have a spare fuel rail that you could chuck your injectors in while you wait

Then you can limp to the tuner and get the fuel rail installed in less time because they wont have to do 1 injector at a time.

yeh, thatd be awesome. Did you put your ss1pu turbo in or did you get someone to do it for you?

You could just try to swap ecu's, if the z32 one doesn't work then swap back. But if it does then you could get the turbo on, ecu in, injectors and afm in. do a touch up tune to adjust for the injectors and new afm in nistune and limp it to the tuner. That's what I did in mine...

That is all good in theory and would definently be a preferable option. But to be honest im not confident enough to remove and install a turbo/injectors by myself. I would be ok with changing the afm over except the whole plug wires soldering issue...

Well im going to get a shop to put the clutch in because i think thatd just be way too much hassle to try and do on stands in a driveway, plus I don't even know where to begin with doing that. I was thinking it'd be better to do the metal intake and nismo intank pump first as they are meant to be less hassle. They also won't affect the drivability of the car with no ecu tune, because the car is my daily and I don't want it off the road for ages.

Then, try to do the stuff that is going to affect the drivability like turbo injectors and afm as close together as possible and get a tune done more or less ASAP.

Hey mate I won't physically touch your car but I will show you how to do it by telling you what to do?

I have looked at a fair few how to guides on here and they are good, but its not the same as having someone who knows what they are doing with you that you can ask questions etc.

I will be putting my turbo in probably some time this week.

It will be my first time as well so once that's done and if all goes smooth for me I am more then happy to come around and help.

I will just be doing my Turbo

Bashing the guts out of my Cat

and wiring up the Z32 AFM

While im at it I might even chuck my old lowered springs in.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
