The Red Lady- Sandybang's R34 Gtt

[Therealsandybang]

Gday Fellas,

Im relatively new to the forums. I have always been a lurker. Sitting in the shadows watching other people build things and then hopefully implementing them on my own car.

It all started in early 2012 where i finally decided to bite the bullet and visit Mastercars Blacktown to purchase my very own r34 gtt. I fell in love with the red r34 they had sitting there for the last month and I knew i had to have it.

After a little bit of haggling here and there I ended up buying this:

It was a clean example with a factory sunroof.

The only aftermarket parts were:

18" rozza wheels

blitz turbo timer

hks hiper max d coilovers

Im not really looking to build a track car. Just something clean and streetable that packs a punch. let the modding begin

[Therealsandybang]

Added my old pioneer head deck. The car came with some kenwood 6" speakers so i left them in there

[Therealsandybang]

Everything was looking great at this point.

Here is my engine bay:

I got all the fluids (clutch, diff, oil, coolant etc) all drained and replaced.

I soon realised that i needed to get my brakes done.

So i went from this:

To this:

And i always wanted a bit of woosh so i ordered this from nengun:

and just to keep it somewhat legalish i got this from hi octane motorsport:

Now in order to prepare my car for better flow I was on the hunt for a decent exhaust system. I ended up with a nismo turbo back exhaust (including genuine nismo hi flow cat) that i got for a bargain!!! Such a sweet note on the car when you open it up and none of that annoying drone. And it looks kind of stockish.. not really.

And to further improve my flow I purchased and installed a black series kkr intercooler from otomoto. Does not have the same flow as say a blitz or a hpi but i am quite impressed for $400 brand new with piping. And it didnt require much cutting at all

Finished product:

Also changed the parkers to smd leds:

I ended up buying 19" starcorps for some fat fitment. They started off being like this:

To this:

On the car they looked like this:

But i was never really happy with them. It was way too bumpy and the wheels felt heavy. I ended up going back to my trusty rozzas

[Therealsandybang]

I also decided to remove my old clutch and get a new custom exedy single plate organic clutch kit from western clutches:

old:

new:

It was a bit heavy for the first 700km but now is quite nice.

Got some new gauges. Not sure if too ricey?

I also painted these in my spare time:

Just a picture of how it is looking at the moment and a mate's car.

Just a few other shots:

[Therealsandybang]

Just got my hands on this for next to nothing. Just trying to figure out the best way to get it on and prevent that farting noise people complain about off boost

[timmy_89]

Nice thread. Car looks clean.

What do you plan to do mod wise in the future?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah keen to see future mods? We love GTTs

[Therealsandybang]

First I went and bought some supplies :

The rb26 bov has a larger pipe so instead of using an adapter I used the original factory pipe inside the new radiator pipe as a collar. I sealed the space between them with gasket sealer.

I was originally going to use a rubber gasket glue to attach the rb26 bov. It appears that the gasket from factory is a much better option if it is in good condition.

There was a bit of dirt And grime on it so I sanded it lightly before:

After:

Here is a comparison. Left is the neo and right is the gtr

Before:

After:

I also replaced the heat shielding stuff.

And after all this I still get the fart noise.

Lol oh well

[KURTIS34]

gtt's are boss around these parts as mat said we love them

its coming along nicely , gauges arnt to ricey.

its just a shame your missing some doors

[Therealsandybang]

I do like preformance mods but I also like driviability. I'm looking at nistune, hi flowed injectors, hi flowed turbo. A gear knob ha!

[Therealsandybang]

Doors?

[Therealsandybang]

Haha 4 door fan. I see

[KURTIS34]

need that knob

yeah fan of the 4 door.

depends what your overall goal is power wise , but as stated nistune, injectors , high flow turbz see you nicely in to the 200+ rwkw area

[Therealsandybang]

Yeap. I'm just looking at coilpacks, fuel pump and maybe a short shift kit too. Just reading on the forums at the moment for some more information and recommendations.

[Therealsandybang]

I've just gotten my drainage sill things painted under the hood and in the boot. You can tell in my previous pod box image that the sills were faded and slightly rusting.

.

Same story in the boot.

I've got a nice clip on rear camera kit from carbon car systems. It's a factory looking fit.

I also hardwired a dash cam and hid the wires.

This is a pic of my universal washer bottle and pump fitment. I got it in the factory position. Yeah!!

Repainted the rozzas a grey carbon with gold flecks

And some door protectors. I know it's granny spec but it protects my doors lol

There was a cleaner factory option in s2 33s which icouldnt find for a 34
