2002 Bnr34 Gt-R V-Spec Ii

[HIRISK]

Very nice car! Looks suspiciously same as BB 34 in Perth, did you buy this from Collin?

Sure did.

[ichi-go]

Sure did.

Looks like the car went to a good home, will keep an eye out for this build to see what you can improve on

[JDM33]

Awesome buy mate and nothing better than when people pick up cars and do them right! Look after it

[Lucky LUke]

i cant drive wit a wooffer in the back , too much gs lol it would bang every single time i drift or entry a corner too fast

other then that , this car his MARVELOUS , love the color sheme wit the brake crazy 6 pot and everythang , good job

crazy ride

Here are a few randoms I took when the car was up on stands.

I removed the front bar to get a good look at it and check everything was OK prior to road worthy and registration.

NISMO OIL COOLER DUCTING

NISMO OIL COOLER DUCTING / GREDDY OIL COOLER

This is exactly where I'm putting my oil cooler, I'm going to have to fabricate ducting like this to encaptulate the Oil Cooler.

Having the front and side vents should allow plenty of airflow through there.

[DrR34Gtr]

Looks awsome mate, any plans on upgrading the front bar to a nismo to make good use of the oil cooler duct, im having a similar delema with mine, dont no wether i should keep the standard bar or get a nismo. It just seems like a waist to have a cooler but no get enough air running through it.

[HIRISK]

I have thought about what I want to do with the front bar and my thoughts, at this stage, are...

Nismo Z-Tune: Love it but to be honest it has be done so many times now, I think I want to stick with a road less traveled

Nismo S-Tune: This is going to be my preference IF I end up changing the front bar, it will suit my stock guards and bonnet more than the Z-Tune bar

Nismo oil cooler vents: I don't mind this option as it retains the stock bar and just adds a more efficient path for air flow

Leave it stock: This is actually my preferred option. The way I see it is that if the Mines R34 can use a stock front bar with no Nismo oil cooler vents on the front or side of the factory bar then it must be OK. I have to assume that the Nismo oil cooler duct is enough to ensure air is caught and directed through the oil cooler and then just disperses out into the inner guard area.

All though it does look like they have removed the inner guard, so maybe that is why.

Remember I have actually removed the REAR half of the Nismo ducting you can see in the photos of mine above, so once the air is forced through the cooler by the front duct it should just disperse.

[ichi-go]

I reckon the nismo oil cooler vents! They look so purposeful and not alot of Rs have them

Just to prove my point

[God_speed]

Fantastic car.

I also like the Nismo oil cooler vent as it's subtle and you don't see them that often.

Having said that my car has the nismo front bar and the nismo oil cooler; the previous owner also drilled holes in the plastic guard to let even more heat out. Have a spare oem plastic guard intact if it needs to be returned to stock. Seems to keep the oil temps down nicely.

[Miguelone]

UK spec cars have those vents on both sides if you don't like the asymmetry.

[Ants]

I also like the nismo vent which seems to have purpose but retain a subtle look on the front bar.

Although you are right, the Mines car does fine without one as these pics show

You can see the mesh behind the oil cooler (got photos from one of my many GTR magazines)

The mines car appears to run two oil coolers (I'm assuming one for the front diff???)

Thought this was interesting.....the mines car uses this type of sump extension

Sorry to mix up your build thread a bit, just wanted to help.

BTW you have a beautiful car

[HIRISK]

Thanks Ant,

That is really good data, thank you.

I like the way they have just cut a neat rectangle out of the inner guard and covered with mesh.

I think I will do the same.

I have already removed the rear half of my Nismo ducting (behind the cooler) so this will just help draw the air through the cooler and suck it out into the front wheel cavity.

I actually took the car for its firast really hard run last night.

I did over 150km of hills with a variety of 3rd and 4th gear corners, then into some 4th of 5th gear straights and then onto some really tight 2nd and 3rd gear corners.

After 150km of virtually non stop hard running (only had 2 quick 5 minutes breaks) it did not break a sweat.

The hottest oil temps I saw were around 87 degrees and the hottest water temp I saw was around 79 degrees.

I am sure this will be different on the track though.

Hey Shaun, great looking car!

I've got a Greddy oil cooler, but no ducting. I might have to get the nismo ducting coz it looks so purposeful!

I'm not sure the one on nengun for $300 would be in carbon like yours though.

It will work well with my R-Tune (or is it S) front bar

[HIRISK]

Cheers.

The Nismo duct is actually made from FRP.

Yes, very effective as it is so contoured to fit both entry and exit side.

Seen this out a few times, such a unique looking colour combo and one of the sexiest GT-R's i've seen in the flesh.

Just noticed this for sale on carsales? Glws

Nah, I work at Carsales and was just playing around with our system and using my car as a test. I have taken it offline now.

Would maybe consider it if the price was right, but no, not for sale :-)

[gtraaron]

Whats the right price ?

[HIRISK]

Not much activity from me lately.

But I have been scouring the Import Monster website looking for bits and pieces from Japan.

I have decided I want to put all of my induction back to standard as I am really chasing...

1) A standard appearance under the bonnet

2) Get rid of the induction noise

3) Get rid of the external vent BOV noise

4) Get rid of the turbo shuffle

It is going to be really interesting to see how it drives and how it sounds once all this gear is on.

I managed to find everything, even the factory BOV recirculation pipe that goes under the intercooler back across to the intake.

I will keep you all posted.

Very nice mate! Looking forward to more updates
