i dont think anyone would want to be a member of prelude australia :P

how much would he have had to spend to get 145kw from a honda, considering he went with forgies n that. and his running 11psi too lol

Well the answer is always gonna be -- For the cred

People often spend shitloads on slower cars so that they have something 'different'. It's common sense, that if you want a faster car, you start with a faster platform.

This guy obviously wanted a prelude specifically, that goes faster than most others :P

It must have taken him sh*tloads of heart-ache to get where he is, he probably deserves a bit of credit, even if it isnt a tyre frying monster! .... well, it probably IS a front tyre frying monster, but you get what i mean! :D

power to the bloke for doing something original.. but he would've gotten more out of putting an type r motor into his car and starting from there.

the only reason i did this was to give him a taste of his own medicine.. he put a poll up at once stage asking how UGLY another members car is.

WTF - I didn't bother signing up, but he's clearly doing something seriously wrong. One of my mates have a forged H22A and large turbo on his Prelude and did a run on 6psi (only tuned for engine run in) and managed a very wheelspinny 13.2 @ 186kph. With 11psi and a built motor (built motor is an advantage as on NA the tune is usually just to keep it alive) an H22A should be making some pretty decent power.

They are at least comparable to an RB25DE in NA form, so the same would suit for when a turbo is attached to a built RB25DET.

I think some people just have too much money on their hand or they just want to be different (credit to them for their creativity though) .Turbo charging a H22a can give you a pretty quick car if done properly, there are endless examples in the states due to cheap parts. But like the other says you will need to have a pretty deep wallet and comes with plenty of heartaches as well along the way. A stock 5th gen vtir is pretty quick for a na car (cause I have one) and I can tell you it beats a stock na 33 easy.

Haha my bad havent read the topic in PA just going on what the previous post said. The 89 ludes are very light plus turbo should be pretty quick on the quater.

My bad - sorry for putting you wrong on that :P

I had assumed that the only Prelude that anyone would bother turbo'ing would be one with an H22A in it. B20As are pretty poos.

I've got a couple of mates with stock engine'd Hondas (one a 1.8VTEC Integra, the other a 1.6VTEC Civic) both running 8.7psi (.6bar is a nice safeish boost level for a stock VTEC motor) and both do mid/low 13s quite happily and reliably.

Most cars beat NA R33s...then again Nissan relies on turbos for performance cars.

      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
