I had to wait till my 40's before I got my dream GT-R.

Be proud of the GTST - its a great car and deserves to be recognised as such. We all start somewhere.

Have fun with it and heed the advice - "Don't buy a GT-R unless you can afford two"*

Cheers

You have a rwd that has the potential for high power, its not an easy car to drive fast, the gtr on the other hand is alot easier to handle in my opinion, i drove a std gtr flat to the floor on a track and thought it was sasy as, i cant drive my gtst flat to the floor without my full attention...

Dont just be proud of your gtst but know that its an entirely different car with its own abilities and attributes.

High powered rwd is the animal that bites back hard, it takes real skill to handle them

I think it's ok if it makes you happy.

But don't do what I've seen a few years ago some guy badged a white gtst a gtr trying to sell it as a real gtr even when the Vin plate said gtst.

He put a rb26 in it but keep the RWD system

so if you ever try selling you could re-badge gtst or advise the new owner to be, of what you have done.

Just some courtesy :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
