Hi guys,

I'm at the point where I'm starting to realise why don't I give it a go since I don't like paying someone else to do it.

I thought its about time I did something to the car on my own, besides washing the thing.

I have a link here, have been trying to figure out if there are more parts to do or is this it?

Sounds simple enough if you have a spare day available.

If I were to follow this, I can't go wrong right? Hopefully not.

I wanted to see what you guys think.

Cheers,

Bernard

Use WD40/CRC on the nuts and bolts before you try to undo them, its easy as long as you have a fairly good tool kit. Some nuts and bolts are bl00dy hard to get to and/or get a decent swing on, be patient, take your time. When reassembling use nickel or coppercote on all the nuts and bolts etc.

Yea I thought I would need a lot of WD40.

I'll get started today... the good old long weekend.

Hopefully my old man's tools are good enough. If not then I guess I've gotta scab the tools off a friend of mine.

One thing though your right about is those really tight spaces... I remember doing my dumpipe... gave up because one, I broke a spanner and two I couldn't reach the bolt. (Didn't have much tools that day) hehehe.

its an easy job

took me and my oldman under 30mins to remove the stock turbo (i've done it a few times now)

i found a few things made my job easy

removing the dump pipe from the front pipe (so its still connected to the turbo when i take it out) <-- of course you cant do this if you have a front and dump in 1

take your time, because i didnt reuse my lines the last time i took my trubo off. i just remove all the from the turbo and then remove the turbo and took off the lines after the turbo was out of the car!

its good fun :angry: ohh and remember to get new copper washers as i didnt and well i had abit of problem with oil leaking hehehe

    • 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.
