Congratulaions on your purchase.  

Let me know when you get your zorst fitted. Interested in cost and performance increase.  

Hey rich, where abouts northside you live? I'm up near Morayfield area. Would be good to see another sedan.

My drive is a 2001 R34GTX-T Sedan.

Hi Mate,

Only just got the email about replies to this thread...

I'm @ Chermside West and the GTT should be put on the ship sometime this week.

Aiming to have it on the road in April.

Looks like theres a few GTT's in Brisbane now. Hope we don't become as common as the 33's.

Bob Jones thats why I only said that I have *heard* good things about Bliss and Drift King, guess I might avoid them now all the same and stick with Beddhams. Anyway, the only personal experience has been with Beedhams and it was a good one.

About inductions sounds... I only had a K&N panel filter in stock box and also used to get a good induction sound in the GTST although my GTR had pods and it was definately more noticeable.

Managed to get some good tyres for compliance this time too, learnt from last time when they put Falken ZE326's on - a loathsome tyre esp in wet. Got some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's for $225 a corner. Looking foward to seeing how the GTT corners, apparently better than the GTST's.

Go the sedan action!

I can vouch for the definate handling increase with new tyres and Upgraded suspension. I went down the path of Bilstein shocks and Whiteline springs. Also mixed in with some other Whiteline suspension bits. All I can say is it feels like it's on rails now.

I'm sure as hell keen for it, maybe we can organise something for next saturday? Meet up and have dinner somewhere, then make the trip to BWCP to show off some uniformed R34 action :) If enough of you are keen I'd be happy to lay down some details, feel free to PM interest/suggestions.

On another note, mythr33 and I compared notes between his R33 GTST and my R34 GTT tonight, the 34 certainly has a big advantage in the handling, lots less body roll, better suspension etc etc, felt as though his boost came on a bit stronger then mine though, mostly likely due to him having a much more adequete exhaust :P I'm certainly going to have to look into doing some work soon!

Metropol would be perfect for me and the upper carpark should have sufficient room.

I agree that it should not be R34's exclusively but we should co-ordinate once there for some cool photo opportunities.

I'm in for BWCP next week at this stage

Yeah, mine has some generic brand one (it does the job) but make sure u don't get the "not for use on forced induction vehicles" one that sells for $40.

As for the installation, it should be pretty straight forward but you may want to look at the CAI boxes available on these forums.  For about $120, u get a nice enclosure for the pod that incorporates parts of the factory airbox.  These allow the advantages of the pod minus most of the hot engine bay air.

If only the previous owner didnt throw out my original airbox...

Also check the hoses that return to the airbox.  There are two small hoses (diameter wise) in my engine bay that have been blocked cos I think they used to go to the airbox so you may need to do some blocking yourself.

But a guarantee, you will hear the turbo spool up (from a distance too) and the factory recirc valve will sound loud.

umm what hoses have been blocked in ur engine bay?? there are no hoses going to the standard air-box,, not on mine there isn't.. mind taking a pic of it? could be hoses to your boost solenoid or the black fuel canister thingy at the front .. :confused:

Firefrog,, i have a HKS mushroom filter with the AFM adapter for sale,, just doesn't have the green foam ,,

I'm in for the meet up for sure,,, keen to get a group/cruise happening on a regular basis aye.,,,

who here has msn?? please add me

I think I need a little credit for helping you fit the gear here...... :wassup:

CREDIT, You deserve all the credit. You pretty much fitted the lot by yourself. I was just the stooge who handed you the tools.

I'm keen for the meet even though I am from Northside. Might even be able to convince jlnewton to come?? Need the exact address as I'm not from around there.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
