To me they go crazy, full boost is as 4k rpm, they are running just past 17psi. Engine isn't built but does have cams - it also helps that Racepace has been servicing it since it was imported (2008).

Well today was first time I took it to red line, safe to say legs were shaking for hours later because of the adrenalin haha.

One thing im trying to figure out is the space between the window seal (think thats where the window deflector goes?) there is a gap is that normal and safe if its raining? Been trying to search the forums with no luck

Yea when i picked up the car from Racepace it has potential to do a lot more, just needs a tune. But think this is plenty for many months to come haha

I see and yes cams do help.

First time red line is always a good experience Haha!

Got a photo of the space between the window? I'd say it's normal like what Hadouken said... As long as the window goes all the way up.

Yeah Racepace will do you well, they know the Power FC really well and should re-tune it up nicely for you.

When I get home ill take a photo for you to have a look. The window seals are fine and window goes up. This is where the window seal connects to the roof of the car (think thats where the window deflector should come in)

With 356kw at all fours thats plenty for a while to come, don't think she will be needing anything more haha

Yeah nice one.

Ok sure, will wait for the photo and have a look.

I remember seeing a thread about this but after hours of searching I can't find it. I'm presuming its safe as any water that comes through will run down by the doors? But still not sure - any tips would help out.

Car is going great, I guess Ill start a thread and keep people updated with the small things I do. But first things first

For it's age, it can happen... I'd say the seal has just bubbled up due to the heat / sun.

Worst case, just re-order the rubber strip and replace it.

Nice custom plates, I'd assume M = Milan and BR34 = BNR34.

Ah ok, would you have any idea what that part is called?

Spot on on the plates haha

So the part is called the "Weather Strip Retainer".

I believe this is the part, however there are two and I'm not sure if it just the metal bracket, or do you get the metal bracket and the black seal on top:

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan-oem-right-side-weather-strip-retainer-r34-2dr.html

The biggest problem I have is that I can't see what actually comes with that item.

Does anybody have a company where they can order their oem parts from?

Thanks Odium,

Im trying to fix her up slowly bit by bit. Just need to make sure that this is the correct part as that came up at AUD434 which is quite pricey. Also I think that is just the front retainer - there is also the rear.

Any chance somebody knows what the actual rubber piece number is?

'll take some more photos so people understand what I'm talking about.

Wonder if there are any Nissan Dealerships which can order the parts for you? hmm

Just a quick note I've searched everywhere on the forums and there is no mention of the part for the 34Gtr, just the 32 as they have a clip on. Where as the 34 has screws that hold the bracket up together with the plasic.

First link is for the Left Hand Side.

Second link is for the Right Hand Side.

You could order it for Nissan AUS or just ask Racepace as they can easily source parts.

Thanks mate,

Will be posting things I do to this car bit by bit. She is in good shape, just needs that little bit of extra bits and pieces but its only cosmetics no rush I guess.

Will be sure to pop down the next SAU meet

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...

Just to give an update on the current status of the GTR.

I have to admit its probably one of the best decision I've ever made in my life. Its very fun to drive but what is especially interesting is when people are giving you the look "cmon man.......punch it please".

Car is very healthy so no real modifications were done since I got it. Ill post some pictures so you can see the before and after.

Fixed/Replaced:

- MDF Screen (had to do a lot of precise peeling but came out like new - thanks to whoever made the tutorial on here)

- Installed an Aus stereo and made the wiring nice and neat behind the dash

- Removed the nismo tie rods and camber arms as they arent adjustable, replaced with cusco so car goes 100% straight (was pulling very slightly to the left)

- Have a friend who does detailing who polished off the headlights, really good job. Will be detailing the rest of the car in a few weeks

Apart from that its very enjoyable to ride things I need to get are:

- Side skirts and rear pods, have a really good deal which are made up for fibreglass will be buying them on wednesday as its so hard to find oem

- Detail the car

- Perhaps swap over my bronze 19" te37 with a pair of 18"

- Swap exhaust for something a little bit quieter as this is very loud as its a 3.5" straight through, kinda needed for the 360atw tune (its a kakimoto)

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
