Hi all.

Figured I would piece together a bit of a build thread , and include whatever info I have posted in other threads already.

Little history in the car.

Basically to be used as a semi sensible daily, with trips to the drags ass often as ss possible (which is not often at all in adelaide.)

Initially running a gt3071 on the rb25 I for some reason decided to pull out the perfectly good bottom end and whack in a stock rb30. Reasons being the obvious off boost drive ability and also to increase the amount of stall on the converter. Trans had a mv shift kit and second gear servo as pretty much the first thing.

ALL work is done by me, including tuning (aside from the auto trans, that's the one thing I leave alone!)

Running nistune, got some ls coil packs for nothing so whacked them on. Made brackets to sit above exhaust cam cover and even managed to use the original ls coil leads (although a couple are like 12mm too short)

A 3076r turbo popped up cheap so grabbed it. Also dropped in some type b poncams I got cheap and retuned.

Car picked up power and made power to the limiter, it was falling off big time with the 3071 after 5500 rpm.

Never actually had a chance to run the car at the drags with the 3076, with the 3071 it went 12.5 on hi fly tyres.

Skip to now and a gt35 xr6 spec popped up as a bargain so I grabbed it.

Over the last couple of days managed to fit it all, along with a hks lowmount manifold and turbosmart gate ( retapped manifold to suit.)

Going away next week so dyno will be the week after, then I'm entered into the street meet for the 19th (which has been cancelled 3 times!)

Here's a pic of how it looks. Im not I to the show side of things at all. And I suck at remembering to take pictures!

Future plans involve the obvious built trans, will likely be going full manual, a not sure on mv or keas just yet and a bigger converter, e85 is on the cards but not for a while.

Having a one yr old daughter certainly changes priorities, and the car is meant to just be a budget hack.

Hopefully a low 12 is going to happen. Which will keep me happy for a few months :)

I'm sure I have forgotten things.

I'm also running an aquamist water injection setup, running water only.

And above photo was before heat shielding.

Running a pod under the stock top of airbox and snorkel because I couldn't be bothered makimg the inlet pipe to suit the stock box, and the stock box does. It fit as nicely due to the higher height of the 30 block changing how the intercooler pipes run.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      HKS stroker kit step 0/1 or HKS GTIII 2530

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
