So so so so so tough. I saw thatg car down in maroochydore a while ago and my draw literally dropped.

Wills a good friend of mine, and I think charles will be selling that laurel of his - but getting a new one.

Today I got the new turbo on - had some small problems but also found out it has a steel wheel. had to grind out some banjo bolt fitting things and find bolts suitable for an r32 turbo (the bolts on the stock one were smaller)

Finally got it running, blew a bit of smoke and was making me worried, but started to calm down after I left it running for a few minutes. So I decided that it was previously dumped oil from the last rooted turbo int he exhaust etc burning off. Left it idling for about 20 minutes and when I came back all the smoke was gone. :(

Took it for first drive - first impressions - springs a little hard, turbo sounds insane - like a jet or something! gave it a bootful out of my street, went beautifully. played around with the blitz dsbc for a while, tryed again and ran too much boost - blew the intercooler hose off.

Anyway I decided not to play aropund with the thing untill I udnerstand how it work first.

Went to pick up the girlfriend later on and decided nows the time to check see if it has an LSD. medium speed in, boot it in 3rd, car smoothly and quickly steps out and slides the corner beautifully, I hold about 2.5 fishies up the road after that in 3rd. Thats something you cant do in an ae86 easily.

Anway, just from todays impressions, I love love love it. Such a nice car. I can not believe how loud the turbo is. Is it safe to have the turbo fluittering when I let off? It does it quite loudly! I fear it may be forcing the pressure back ont he turbo and making it wear quicker.

Tomorrow I am going to change the oil, got some mobil semi synth to put in for about a tank of fuel, flush, and then going to full synthetic. Gettin coolant flushed next week along with rwc and rego. Getting boost gauge soon. Car has weird vibration on the back left side, and I noticed the wheel has more negative camebr than any other one - so either a bent arm or really bad alignment but I'll figure it out. I cannot believe how nice the car is - rapes an ae86 anyday.

Heres a dodgy ass pic.

Very excited.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
