My R34 Gtt Build

[Mitch R34]

Hey guys and girls,

Im new to SAU and thought I would introduce myself by showing my build so far.

First of all Im an electronics technician and love imports of any nature but have a massive soft spot for straight six monsters. I have never had any machenical training and have learnt by just doing it.

Anyways here it is:

I purchased my 34 pretty much stock. It had a 3 inch exhaust and a pod filter thats about it.

Dirty but a fairly clean R34 GTT.

Then the mod bug bit hard and I started buying all different kinds of goodies.

First was the front mount IC.

Then came the intake manifold ... i first purchased an ebay special Greddy but soon realised where this build was heading and decided to do it right and went out and purchased a Plazmaman plenum and throttle body ... the thing is sexy!

Before i realised it I had a GCG gt35r turbo kit sitting in my living room .. also a sexy bit of gear!

From here I realised that it will be easier to pull the motor out. bolt everything up and replace motor again. After pulling th motor out and bolting it all up my mates fully forged, never run, r33 RB25DET came up for sale REALLY cheap. So naturally I took that off his hands and put all my good bits on it.

So at this point the motor had the gear bolted up and once again i realised the direction this build was heading so I was going to need a half descent clutch so I purchased an OSGiken twinplate to be safe.

So after all this the motor is now back in and I am starting to wire in/plumb up all the ancillaries.

I have decided to go with a Microtech LT16 with x6 and bosch coils mainly because I know they are tuned by most people and the price.

Thats where I am at them moment and ill keep posting as the build progresses.

Thanks

Looking good!

Are you sticking with the factory balancer on the new motor? ATi balancers can be had pretty cheaply these days and might be good insurance.

Also pending how far you push the turbo that clutch might be a limiting factor.
