Hey guys, I’ve been a long term lurker on this site and finally bought a black V-spec R32 GTR, with the only mods being a cat back and headunit. 
I plan to modify the car to increase performance but with mods that can be taken back to factory if I like. 
A lot of questions are likely to be about part choices at the moment so any help with that stuff would be very much appreciated. 6D9E72FC-358C-4FA4-9ED4-03C34BAF5337.thumb.jpeg.cf697b0a2119bddca550eb3c7016e705.jpeg1BCE05BB-0D3F-46A2-A8E4-4655BD8693C6.thumb.jpeg.4e139ab4f5ff9bb0391041370207c580.jpeg

Beautiful ride bro. I have a 93 model and did the same thing with -9’s. At 490 hp with cams, gears on a haltech pnp. Enjoy bro performance is amazing from RB26’s

That’s pretty much the exact combo I plan to do.

What did you end up going with?

Focus on what you want. These forums are great and many lads give great advice. All I’d say is don’t have any regrets in what you do. Do it once and do it right.  I’ve seen to many throw money away by continually upgrading. I’m 43 years old and my 490 hp at the wheels is ample trust me. I wanted something streetable and it will never see a track. Smokes most things in my neighbourhood 🦾

What he said ^. Do what you want. Mine just went downhil very very quickly, its in my profile if you want to read through.

If I could do it all over again, I'd stick with a built 26 with around 4-450awkw.

After speaking with the guy doing the work and the guy tuning it. I’ve decided to go with a 8374. It’s way more than what I thought I would want but it seems a really good option and I can always turn down the boost I guess.

Nice choice!  The best responding RB26 I've ever been in was a stock bottom end one running an EFR8374 - though it DID have V-Cam as well.  Head and shoulders above any other RB26 I've experienced in terms of torque/response, and was also making ~460awkw.   Great option for having a nice road setup with plenty of headroom.

Who is doing the build?

I saw some really good reviews on set ups like that. Hopefully the lack of vcam won’t affect it too much. 
mum almost through reading the EFR v2 thread. There is a lot of info in there. The internal vs external gate is interesting. Internal seems easier and cheaper and some of the people seem to swear by them, but the tuners I’m using think external is better so that’s what I will go for. I’m trying to get my head around the twin or single wastegate for the twin scroll manifold. I can see how in theory twins mean you retain a true twin scroll set up but as far as I can see, as soon as the gate opens then the twin scroll disappears and isn’t needed anyway. The tuners I’m using have said to use one wastegate. 
 

The engine, fitting and custom fabrication is being done by Hi-power and the tuning will be done by NDT developments. Both in Auckland. They were companies recommended to me.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By Duncan · Posted

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
