well i just installed my turbosmart boost controller thingy and an autometer gauge in my hilux surf. now runnina nice 13PSI ;)

now, i cant work out a good way to mount it without paying $60 for a pod holder thingy.. does anyone have any suggestions on a easy cheap way to mount it?

thanks dave.

p.s - look at the damn work involved. took ages pulling half the engine apart so i could drill into it and taper.

well i have found the up take alot smoother, almost as if the gears are a bit longer.. i have no idea why.

but what i noticed is i got my dad to take it for a fang and he floored it up the street and it looks alot faster.

at the moment its running a 3l head on it and i am told that once i have done a few more mods the fact that its got that head on it will make a big difference.

next up is a massive custom cold air intake (moving from left hand side of engine to right to stop the intake being taken over the engine before it reaches the turbo) and then a top mount intercooler using a standard r33 unit..

i will keep u posted on how it goes after that.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.
