Sinista's R34 Gtr

[sinistaGTR]

Well after owning my car for about 12 months, I have decided to make a build thread.

After owning a fully built R33 GTST, Crazy Evo 7 with all the goodies, an absolute Pearl White 350z…. One of my dreams has to own an R34 GTR which I first drove one back in 2006 thanks to Andz.

It came decision time to sell the 350 and get back into a fast car, I looked at a few Series 8 RX7s that had been built with single turbo conversions, they were quick but it wasn’t an R34 GTR. A buyer popped up for my 350z and at the same time an absolute mint 34 GTR with a few goodies came up….I had to have it.

I bought the car from a local buyer in mint condition with genuine 52000kms and it came with the following goodies.

NISMO Air filter

NISMO Radiator Cap

NISMO Thermostat

SPITFIRE Coilpacks

Blitz Blow Off Valves

Cusco Master Cylinder Stopper

TEIN Bonnet Dampers

APEXI GT Spec cat back

TEIN Coilover with EDFC

Adrenaline Drift 19x10.5

NISMO 320km/h dash

HKS Type 1 turbo timer

APEXI S-AFCII Super Airflow Converter

Blitz Electric Tuning Dual SBS Boost Controller

Now although the car was immaculate and I was over the world to own my dream car…. It wasn’t my car…So the first thing I upgraded was the front pipes and venom 100cel cat and switched to a power fc and a few little other touches like making my own radiator diversion plate and copy nismo tail lights.

With a tune by GT Auto it made nice 256kw atw…..So I added some apexi pods for the sound only (still have the airbox and nismo filter for if I want it on) and noticed there was a lot of oil on the intake pipes…..turbos were shot….well what else to do but chuck on some HKS GT-SS, Nismo Fuel Pump, 700cc injectors.

This made a restricted 280kw due to the afm.

One of the afm died and the decision was then made to change to a d-jetro. Though we had massive tuning issues with this, one run it would make 317 next run it would 260, so we steadied it out to 287kw.

In the mean time I made some cosmetic upgrades by adding some wheels and front diffuser

then carbon wing stands and carbon rear cover….Also a few little goodies from the nismo omori factory in japan (had to replace my rad cap because the sticker came off…

Although the car is currently going some more upgrades as this is being written…..

Greddy Oil cooler

Tomei poncams Type B

Tomei Cam gears

Greddy Air breather tank

N1 water pump

Haltech platinum pro

Hard piping kit

KTS suction intake

Body work including:

Z tune front bar

Z tune Side Skirts

Z tune rear pods

Carbon ganadors

Carbon z tune bonnet

Nismo wheel nuts

Love the tail lights too. You gonna get the center brake light in LED too?

Looks fantatsic, well done.

[andz]

nice

[OYEAHA]

Wow looks good ! Those wing stands are huge does it help to see out the back window ?

[sinistaGTR]

yeh my vision is great out the back window now lol.

Thanks for the comments too.

[Hadouken]

Am I the only one that thinks 280kw from gt-ss' is low?

Especially with no afms.

[sinistaGTR]

yeh i mentioned there that we made 280kw with the afm, then one died. So I switched to d-jetro, within the tuning one run it was 317 next the power would drop right off the 260 for some reason. The tuner then got a consistant 287kw. Even he tuners found this really weird, was just the d-jetro playing around for some reason.

Hence why its having the haltech platinum pro being put in at the moment, to iron out the issues the d-jetro was giving us. So def has far more potential than 287 and that would also made in the heat of Brisbane summer.

[Hadouken]

Bit weird... How much boost was that at?

Hopefully the haltech will bring good fortunes.

[wedge_r34gtr]

A haltech always brings good fortune.

A Trust/Greddy or Nismo hard piping kit would be look the stuff

Also What does a bonnet damper do? what is it dampening????

[sinistaGTR]

Running 1.4 bar.

Yeh i agree about the hard piping kit, but the KTS suction kit thats being installed atm, can also be used with the stock airbox.

So once i get that on i will get some new pics up.

The bonnet damper allows you the lift the bonnet up about a foot from the closed position and then it goes up itself and holds up without the normal bonnnet manual strut.

And yeh my tuners were over the moon about me using the haltech vs the d-jetro......

Makes sense, i didn't know what they we're called.

Forget to mention earlier; the car looks smick, especially with the new rims :-)

[blah_blah]

Looking forward to pictures once the cosmetic upgrades are on

[mattlikewhoa]

Looking good so far!

[JDM33]

keep it coming!! Sounds like its gonna turn out to be top stuff

[sinistaGTR]

So Im currently over the other side of the world, but hasnt stopped the progress.

I recently had some goodies installed thansk to GT Auto and waiting for a final tune.

In the mean time my best mate put my intercooler on while some bodywork is being done. (excuse the pic quality)

With the greddy oil cooler installed

and the engine bay with a few updates

More to follow in the next few weeks as the body work is finished and the tune is completed
