After putting on new belts and installing my new tripoint AST, I was ready to work on the Profec B. Reading through a few threads had me wondering how I should install the controller. According to this picture: the Greddy manual says to use version 1. Others on the forum have used version 2 and swear by it. Hi all, said i'd throw up a quick guide on how to install the Greddy Profec B Spec 2 to the rev 3 3sgte as i couldn't find a decent guide anywhere on line for the mr2. PLEASE NOTE: I accept no responsibility for any damage caused by installing an EBC on your car. This is merely a suggested way to do it and is not Gospel!

That’s a pretty long time to hold on to a car. Every time I jump in my R34 however there is always that feel of excitement, just like when I drove it for the first time back in 1999. Every time I park it I still can’t resist a quick glance as I walk away. I don’t quite know why, but the san-yon seems to have bewitched me; it’s the only car I ever wanted and the only car I would ever want to keep. It may have been well and truly surpassed in every way, but no matter how many fast and capable modern day sports cars and supercars I drive, once I get back in my GT-R I can’t help but smile.

I’ve gotten to a point that I know the car inside out, I know exactly what it will do in pretty much every instance, I have developed a man-machine bond that can only happen when the car truly captivates its driver. Compared to most “R” owners I may have barely scratched the surface of the seemingly limitless tuning potential these cars have, but no matter how basic the modifications I have carried out so far may be, I have gotten a great deal of satisfaction from them. I will never understand people that drop off their cars at tuning shops and have big complete rebuilds because for me, feeling every little upgrade is what perfecting one’s own car is all about. From this month you will be seeing a lot more of my GT-R as we begin to roll out our Project Car stories, documenting our journeys with our own rides, the best part of all – getting feedback from you guys. But before I get stuck in with fitting the exciting new parts that I have been stocking up over the last year I thought it would be a good time to take you through a short journey of how my car has changed over the last decade or so.

For close to two years I did pretty much nothing with it. I was smitten enough with its performance that I enjoyed it as it was, limiting myself to little things like a Nismo dial cluster and Nismo clear front and side repeaters, a much needed first upgrade to any zenki R34 that came with those horrible orange ones! Thanks to a friend of mine who was also a san-yon owner I got the chance to visit for the first time and get a hands-on experience of what a 600 HP GT-R felt like. That’s pretty much the moment I decided my attempt to keep the car stock and its warranty intact for the first 3 years of its life, rather futile. A second trip to Mine’s was booked and this time the car received some goodies in the form of their stainless steel front pipes, a sports catalyst and the VX stainless steel exhaust system. The exhaust was also joined by an HKS EVC boost controller and a Mine’s VX-Rom, their reflashed ROM chip that they soldered into the factory Hitachi ECU. After a few hours of work the car came out of the workshop literally transformed, now boasting around 400 PS and an impressively responsive tune.

I ended up taking the car out to Twin Ring Motegi for a quick few laps, this was when the track was brand new, just opened a few months prior. Power wise it felt spot on out through the twisty corners of the superb circuit, but with the soft stock suspension I ended up spinning the car and ending up literally inches from the barriers. A heart attack to say the least! It’s when I realized that I couldn’t hold off any more, suspension – and a lot more practice – were needed presto! Robert T Paynter Pdf To Jpg. So I headed down to Nismo Omori Factory in Tokyo and had them install their S-tune suspension kit, a street oriented set up that would tighten up the handling and bring the off-road-like ride height to a more sensible level.

The handling and whole dynamics of the san-yon were altered, I could now really use the newfound performance, carry more speed into the corners and get on the power earlier, much earlier in fact, taking full advantage of the catapult effect that GT-Rs are so known for. Plus the car looked so much better sitting lower to the ground, even if it was still sitting on the stock rims with their less than aggressive offset. Next up on the mods list was the cooling. A friend of mine was replacing his Trust intercooler with a twin entry ARC unit following a ton of work at Top Secret so I picked this barely used item up at a decent price. I spent about a day polishing it back to its former shine before it was hidden behind the bumper! The design of Trust intercoolers have always been commended for their good flow characteristics and I was happy with the obvious cooling benefits this brought when driving hard, something that was easily noticeable via the intake temperature display on the MFD. However what I also did notice was a little bit more heat soak when sitting in traffic for example but that was kind of expected.

The intercooler was fitted along with GReddy aluminum piping which replaced the nasty black rubber hoses. An HKS oil cooler followed too, fitted to the passenger side of the bumper along with an aluminium housing/baffling to direct the air from the intake towards the core. This is probably one of the best mods I carried out, after this the oil temperature has always been rock solid and when driving hard does a great job of keeping it all at optimum temperature, even during Japan’s hot summers. At one point I even got rid of the stock airbox, believing that a pair of HKS SPF filters would be a worthwhile addition.

These probably stayed on about 3,000 km, as I just didn’t like them. Aside from the dubious filtering capabilities of a pair of thin oily sponges, it was also the poorly sealed edges of the pods that concerned me. Add to this the absolutely horrible induction sound they made, and I got rid of them very quickly. What was left behind was a complete mess of sludge in the intakes, oil mixed with dust and worryingly large pieces of debris that had been “filtered” (and no, not all of it was from recirculated blow-by). So on went the stock airbox once again, along with a K&N/Nismo panel filter and what I found was a better low-rpm response and a well balanced induction raw.

On the braking side of things I fitted some Ferodo DS2500 pads, Nismo braided lines and the must have Cusco master cylinder stopper, which all contributed to give a slightly firmer middle pedal and better braking performance. It wasn’t all great however, a few up and down sessions on the touge and brake fade was very much unavoidable as were smoking brake pads! I continued to enjoy the car and driving it like was meant to be driven, taking it up in the mountains around Hitachi and Takahagi and at times finding empty countryside roads to practice the odd launch trying to see how high I could get that torque split meter to go! Not surprisingly, it wasn’t long before the stock clutch had had it so after much research I decided to go with what then was, and I’m talking of about ten years ago now, a very innovative clutch upgrade.

To fit it I went down to my then local shop in Ibaraki,, which like many tuners in Japan had initially started with drag racing and had moved to drifting, building and looking after Tanaka’s S15 in D1. The Getrag along with the transfer box was dropped revealing the well used clutch plate and flywheel. It was all removed and replaced with a twin-plate carbon clutch along with a lightweight flywheel. What made me go for it were the countless positive reviews of how easy it was to live with and how less harsh it was on the driveline thanks to the unique friction characteristics of the carbon plates. All seemed to be true, it was – and still is as believe it or not after 25,000 km, I am still running it – almost as easy to use as the stock one but with an obvious better feel through fast gear changes. Drag-style launches became even more fun! Some more time went by and the next upgrade I carried out were the wheels.

Much like everything for the GT-R, there is so much choice out there that it takes a normal person ages to choose what brand or product to go for, even more so if you are anally retentive like myself. So, aside from the fact that I would never fit non-forged wheels to a performance car, I narrowed it down to either 18-inch Volk Racing TE37s or the then new 19-inch CE28Ns.

Seeing these would be my “street” wheels it wasn’t hard to go for the 19s as after seeing them fitted to another R34 at an event they filled the wheel arches fantastically well. So that’s what I went for, along with a set of Yokohama AVS Sports in 275/30. Here is a quick size comparison with the stock BBS items. The 19-inch CE28s were actually quite a bit lighter than the stock rims, except that weight benefit quickly disappeared once the tyres were fitted. Anyway, to say I was happy with the result would have been an understatement. I still have these rims of course, I’m in the process of sort of restoring them after years of use and protecting/coating them. I’ve done two already thanks to the help of my who’s GT-R you have seen on here before.

Two more to go and a fresh set of Volk Racing spoke-stickers thanks the awesome guys at and they will be good as new. I am not one to go wild on the aesthetics of a car but there have been some minor changes to the appearance of the R34 over the years, things like the Mine’s M3-look-a-like carbon mirrors and a painted middle front spoiler right above the diffuser. Oh and the oldschool GT-R badge!

I am actually thinking of getting rid of the mirrors and re-fitting the foldable stock ones so your opinion on this would be great. I even ended up changing the old Nissan badge for the fancier new one but I think I may just get rid of both this and the GT-R one in the future for a cleaner look. Again, thoughts? A few more additions were made under the bonnet too, the most important of which were the “Nismo inlet pipes” those shiny aluminum bits that replace the stock pipe with the “Twin Turbo” logo on it. These are very similar to what the Gr.A BNR32s used and transformed the throttle response and boost pick up of the engine thanks to a more flow-friendly design. In fact I had to get the HKS EVC boost controller reprogrammed as I was overboosting badly after fitting them! I also fitted Augment hood dampers and got rid of the stock pole used to prop open the hood, a simple but nice touch I always thought.

Here is a shot of the car back about eight or nine years ago at Daikoku PA with a couple of my friend’s cars that had been heavily modified at Top Secret. The final two upgrades I did to the aesthetics were the Nismo Z-tune front bumper which I literally fell in love the moment I saw the Z-tune unveil all those years ago and the Nismo GT LED tail lights almost identical to the ones that were used in Super GT R34s before they got replaced by the Z33s. It may sound strange but I have never really taken many pictures of my car, neither have I done proper shoots on it, as I’m always waiting for it to be that little bit more complete. It is quite a vicious circle to say the least! Upgrades in the interior have also been rather subtle.

The cheap plastic center console has been replaced with a carbon fiber item from Robson Leather, while I’ve gotten rid of the stock steering wheel for a Sparco/Prodrive suede item which is great when wearing racing gloves but a bit slippery when not. For those with a keen eye you will also notice some kouki pedals, the same pedal set-up that Nissan recycled on half of their lineup from 2001 and onwards.

More hooning around. This video was taken in 2008 when I had an R35 for a week to test and shoot. How about this for some contrasting colors.

I had that pink AE86 on loan from for a week or so, and after driving and shooting it, it was sold to a certain Allen Lorenzo from Tomei Powered. Thankfully Allen has since removed the matching pink GT-wing! One day back in 2008 Option Magazine even spotted my car on the street as I was driving on Kuramaebashi-dori in Tokyo. Option regularly does “car spotting” features where they spend a day on a busy road and document the modified cars that drive. Apparently they liked my car for it’s sporty look. The car stayed pretty much as you see it above for a couple of years, the only thing that I added were that got the front and rear subframes nicely aligned and introduced a newfound precision into the steering and how the suspension reacted to road imperfections.

Fast forward a few more years and back in 2011 I donated the R34 to so that their exhaust wizard could. Here is Yamamoto-san of Tomei grabbing a few catalogue shots for the underside of the car with the exhaust fitted. I forgot how good 18-inch TE37s look against a blue R34!

I’ve temporarily swapped these rims with a friend for a set of RE30s which you can see fitted here. This is the car at in Yokohama being transformed to RWD prior to an ECU tuning sessions. That’s because if you recall back last year I had the pleasure of injecting thanks to an advanced Platinum Pro ECU, a plug and play computer which helps bring the old girl into the new millennium. This has quickly become my favorite upgrade as it unleashes a ton of potential, which I honestly haven’t even begun to tap into yet. But more on that to come this year! Scott from Haltech and Ito-san of Do-Luck spent a few hours getting the best out of the computer until the next set of modifications which will require a complete retune.

Maybe then I can turn on the “soft” anti-lag setting! With work taking up most of my free time as well as weekends, it has become harder and harder to find time to hit the track. But in summer last year Ito-san and invited me along to test out the, a digital G-sensor replacement for the archaic stock electro-mechanical item. It was yet another awesome upgrade in my quest to modernize the car and set up in a way that it changed not only the reaction times of the Attesa AWD system, but the amount of torque that is delivered to the front wheels.

The car feels so different now, almost like an Evo in the way that it juggles drive front/rear, allowing for an even more aggressive driving style out on track. So this is where the car is at right now. I look forward to sharing all the upgrades and even the time I spend with the “R” with you all from now on, and will be looking at your comments carefully as I value all your feedback.

Let the fun begin! -Dino Dalle Carbonare. Dino, As much as I love reading about the balls to the wall, ground up super builds that are pushing the boundaries, it is a refreshing change of pace to watch a car slowly develop. You find a shortcoming in the car, and you explain the thought process and solution behind the fix.

That is much easier for the average person to emulate and relate to. I really enjoyed following along in this iterative process.I hope you continue this trend for the parts you've accumulated over the year and don't just throw a handful of parts at the car at once.

Very tastefully done thus far and I look forward to seeing you continue to develop the car. In my opinion, mirrors gotta go.

Far too streamlined for a car so angular and 'tight.' Badges I'm indifferent to, nothing wrong with being proud of the Nissan heritage!

8000000 TIMES THIS for me, having a relationship with my car, and knowing how things would affect it, was always wayy more important than having a fast car or a car that looked nice because of that i'm not going to suggest anything for you car, 1 because it's already at the point where i'd be happy with it and would stop, and also 2 because i don't know what your car wants or how it acts, so i have no position to actually tell you anything. If you want any tips on what to do to an '85 mazda 626 then i'm who you talk to though (better gear ratios and much smoother induction).

Hey Dino, Awesome car its beautiful one of the cleanest more badass Skyline GTRs ive ever seen! About the mirrors get rid of em, not really the style of the car imo. I would remove the badge from the back only (the Nissan symbol) since it would give you a cleaner rear end as you wanted the one at the front is perfect now that you have it to one side. PLEASE get back those Black TE37 are perfect fit for that car much better than the ones you have now.

Of course just an opinion hehe. Nice work keep up!! Hey Dino, Awesome car its beautiful one of the cleanest more badass Skyline GTRs ive ever seen!

Nice work keep up!! Great to read and see a write up on your 34 Dino. I like to read your articles as you always seem to get other 34s in I am only in my infancy in owning a 34 (2yrs) compared to your 14yrs and yours looks like it could have rolled out the factory last week. I like the touchs you have done to it, prefer your te37s to your other choices but I am biased as I have the Rota version on mine. The oil cooler baffling is a neat idea and is something I might look into when I fit one to mine. For me if I was in your shoes I'd keep the Mines mirrors and possibly add the Mines taller spoiler legs and the rear boot lip spoiler they do. Agree with your fans suggestion of some sideskirts but then again the Mines and MCR 34s dont have them.

Look forward to your follow up articles and would like to see some more videos as I bet your Titanium exhaust sounds beautiful! Great to read and see a write up on your 34 Dino.

The Z-tune bumper, off set front badge, led brake lights all look great. I would go for the black TE37s or the bronze CE28s. It looks a bit like the Fast and Furious R34 (minus the hood) with the silver RE30s.

Mirrors: stock. Looks fresh that way. I would remove the rear nissan badge and keep the 'GT-R' and 'V-spec' logos.

Sideskirts: dunno. Looks odd that the front, middle and rear sides don't line up. Just too much air under the cabin. I'm sure it runs and sounds great too with that Expreme Ti exhaust.

Your car, your choices. And that's my opinion. Keep up the good work. The Z-tune bumper, off set front badge, led brake lights all look great.

Keep up the good work. Absolutely fantastic feature on your very own R34 GT-R, Dino. Personally, I am not a fan of any of those rims. I have always loved Work Meister S1's on GT-R's. However, that is personal taste. As for the mirrors, I say stay with the stock items.

And the GT-R badge, stick with the stock item aswell! All of the above aside, it's great to see how your GT-R has changed over the years. I have always wanted to buy one, however in West Australia they still fetch $55-$60,000 for a low-km accident-free V-Spec II.

Thanks for the great feature Dino. These are my opinions on what you should do with it: In my opinion the CE28's looked the best on it so far (but I guess you want to back track, back to those). I definitely agree with you on going back to the stock mirrors. As far as the badges I'd lose all but the rear OEM GT-R one.

That Z-tune bumper looks AMAZING! Never get rid of it!

As for rubber I'd slap some Potenza RE-11's on. But first get some skirts on her!

Stop making her go around in her underwear! Haha but seriously it could use some skirts.

I'm not sure what I'd do about livening up the sides a bit but it needs it (A vinyl maybe?). I really have NO idea what to do about performance. That's up to you. Well those are my thoughts. I appreciate that you took the time to read them.

Car is looking great Dino! Aki has also been a great help to me since I imported my R33 GT-R Vspec.really knows his stuff! The R34 is looking great.as for improvements, all I can suggest is to get back to the stock mirrors, I find the carbon 'M3 style' to stick out a bit too much with it's colour but perhaps painting would make it look more subtle. The styling is great on them and painted with a folding option would be perfect!

Really love the car though, I'll be following a similar mod-route when it comes to my engine and cooling. The 19's suit the car very well and i've been considering a set of the same CE28N's but in silver. Along with the Project Car stories, it would be cool if you had a Reader Rides post. I'd really love to showcase my car with the Speedhunters community.anything to get R33 GTR's some more attention! Looking forward to the updates.Cheers,Kunal. Car is looking great Dino!

Also going to get some nice suspension parts for making it stick to the road better and putting the power down like HKS HiperMax III Coilovers, Carbing solid one-piece aluminum front and rear strut bars, some lightweight forged wheels and sticky tires to go with them (still haven't desided here yet), also going to get an aftermarket LSD (OS Giken Super Lock), upgraded clutch (OS Giken Twin or Triple Plate), and a nice shifter for the Getrag 6spd (C's short throw shifter). Eventually will look into Cams and an aftermarket full standalone ECU also, for going all-out full BPU+, but that will be after all the other stuff gets done.

All in all, it should make for a pretty beastly and balanced daily driver/racer. It should have no problems at all catching and giving a run for their money (even beating) some of those pesky Skyline GT-R's, Om-Nom-Nom, lol. A never ending JDM battle. Thanks for the attention Dino, would be glad if you have some time to check out the stuff I wrote (sorry for the wall of text, lol) and give a honest opinion, thanks! @speedhunters_dino For starters I'll keep it fairly stock engine-wise as you did in the begging, would probably do only Basic Upgrade Package or BPU for short, as how it's known. Going to get a cold air intake (Blitz SUS Power Air Cleaner) with aluminum piping all around to replace the rubber ones, downpipe (custom made with a restrictor ring to not overboost the stock JDM turbos), full decat exhaust system (Blitz Nur Spec Type R), boost controller (Greddy Profec B Spec 2), boost cut controller (Greddy BCC), uprated fuel pump (Bosch 044) and injectors (Sard 650 or 800cc), better spark plugs (NGK Iridium) along with an ignition amplifier (HKS Twin Power DLI).

Boosted at 1.2 bar (17-18PSI), alongside with the VVTi 2JZ-GTE it should make for around a good ~450HP, give or take, with a very nice and fat torque curve for both daily driving and racing it.

I was a little confused why you were switching the car to RWD for the Haltech / Do-Luck tuning, but I reread the old article (Do-Luck only had a 2WD Dyno), which helped explain a lot. The mirrors are fine. They are distinctive enough to recognize your car in a group, but not glaring like a massive wing (not a shot at the time attack people at all). You should get those CE28N's back though, as they are perfectly balanced with that car.

As to impact, the best thing I can take away from your article is that you inspire people to take the time to make the changes clean, and not rushed. I find whenever I've made big changes to my car, I can't tell what change had the biggest impact, where you clearly notice every step along the way. Well done, and if I were to change anything, it would be the peacock blue lug nuts. I know other people probably like them, but I would rather match the brake calipers (gold - bronze might not work with the CE28N's, but it would with the TE37's) or the body colour. That's it though. I wouldn't airbag the suspension, or bloat the turbo. I would fully exploit the Tarzan G-Box before doing the next upgrade.

I've had one for a while and seems to be a lot better than the old ones. I do have one question though; you said at the start you don't get how people can drop off their cars at a shop and prefer to do the work yourself, yet you dropped off the car for work at numerous shops? I don't think there's really anything wrong with taking a car to a shop, even though I do all my own work, but if you paid someone to tune, install a clutch etc, I don't think you can take credit for that. There's a lot of guys quick to take credit for a build when they just paid the bills.

Any thoughts on the more recent has 3 layer mushroom filters? I've had one for a while and seems to be a lot better than the old ones.

I really like this, not because of hp, or that it's a GTR, but because I love seeing the time and thought that was put into this. It's such a huge difference from your typical magazine feature with as many bolt-ones from sponsors that in the end serve the sponsors and not the driver.

I hadn't had the opportunity to check into Speedhunters lately, but feverishly clicked on the link to your project. I had no idea you have had it since new (?)!!!! I remember drooling over the Tomei catalog shoot. I think it is awesome that you have progressively modified your car, and totally agree with that method.and wish I had followed that thought process with my Corrado VR6 build. Just a week ago I purchased a 2002 WRX and plan to follow the progressive means of 'tuning' more closely.I think the stock mirrors look best on the R34; the M3-look items angle up too high.

Finally an little love for your own pride and joy! I guess I'l throw in my 2 cents: - Keep the Hako badge up front exactly where its.

Its too cool! T's a homage thing and it's kind've your signature trademark too. - Ditch the Mine's mirrors and go back to stock. The Mines are a bit dated, but if your really like them I would color match them. - New R35 style badge at the rear, I think it's a great upgrade and the look so much better in person. - Keep the CE28's, they will go down as a Ray's classic. - I would get the matching Z-tune side skirts, I know they just bolt on to the stock skirts but they complete the overall aesthetics.

Keep the great shots comin'! First of all I must say that i love you're car! When it comes to future plans i think it would be sad to swap out the old school badge. I remember the first time i saw you're car on the site, I didn't like it but I have relay grown to like it. It makes you're car so unique and recognizable when seeing it on other sites. The mirrors, yes i think swapping back to the stock ones would make it look cleaner, or maybe get them painted to match.

I like the R34 wing less, but when there is a wing on the back i do like the stock one. But come to think of it I seam to have vague recollection of you drowning over a pair of carbon uprights for the stock wing (form Nismo I think). And if i remember correctly they was just a little bit higher than the stock ones. (You could of course go full carbon on the wing, but just the uprights would really make a nice and subtle detail).

And yes the car would look great if it was lower, but at the same time if it was my care I'm not sure if i would dare it. Anyways that just what I think, I'm just really glad that you are sharing all this with us. Keep up the great work. I don't know much about cars yet. But I'm looking forward to get a nice car (Nissan skyline R-34, Toyota supra, or some other 'street' car?) when I'm enough rich and old to get one.

But for the exterior, you should really paint the rims dark grey or full matte black maybe? And change the stock spoiler to the one which someone else has in the picture of the three skylines. The middle one. I like it and it would fit your car perfectly too.

Myself, I don't see the blue color as the best one, so the color could be changed too. Metallic orange, and dark rims would be perfect! But if you like the blue color, keep it. For the mirrors, if you are going to change the paint, you should keep the carbon ones, but the stock mirrors fit better in that blue color. Next doesn't belong to the subject; Although I'm only 14 now, but I'm in love with cars and tuning so how I should start gaining money and researching things to get a real car someday?

What is the best way to know about cars and what do you put into them? Great if you read this! It was pleasure to give my opinions and I do have some spelling mistakes since I'm finnish so sorry about them! Keep up the good work with the skyline! Hi Dino, just read this story and I must say the car looks amazing. The subtle visual mods such as the taillights and the indicators do so much for it, and I even like the front GT-R badge now that it isn't centered, those few centimeters make a huge difference in the overall look of the front. I would, however, go back to the stock folding mirrors, they fit the character and the overall look of the car much better than the m3 style ones in my opinion (Might be biased though as I consider those a boy-racer mod on any car except an m3:D) Btw, I love the way the car sits on the TE37RTs, didn't expect the color combo to work but somehow it does, quite well.
