Hey guys, finally introducing myself to the forum. My name is Stefano, 23 and I'm from Melbourne.

Currently an apprentice mechanic (i know 23 and an apprentice? i started late!) and aiming to qualify as soon as possible. I've always loved cars, mostly Japanese imports. but my hearts always been with skylines! (i wish i could own a 32-35 !)

Started off with a v-tec 3rd gen prelude when i was on my P's but as soon as i hit 21, i had my r34 GTT sedan waiting for me. It was all i could afford in the 34 range and i loved it ! but in the back of my mind the 4 doors kinda bugged me (each to there own i guess)

Finally i saved up just enough and bought my r34 gtt coupe and i cant get enough of it !

it has your basic mods:

Hks turbo back exhaust

Fmic

Ecu and tune

Enkei NT03 rims

its been dyno'd at 198kw's and I do have big plans for this car (just need deeper pockets !) which is why i've come here. SAU has been my go-to guide for anything with skylines , and always love seeing the members cars and what they've done to them

Here are some photos of my previous and current skyline.

Thanks guys

welcome.

some nice looking cars.

if youre looking for some good responsive power, find mat's (34GeeTeeTee) build thread.

thing is a weapon, and now pretty reliable.

he generally comes in here, so might post a link if he sees this.

also, get your trade, and get out.

80% of us end up hating the trade.

good luck with your build.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
