This is how it goes.. When you say tacho you mean engine revs yes? then you mention speed.

Engine Revs is correct on the power FC compared to the stock tacho meter

SPEEDO can be correct on the indash display and not on the PFC or vice versa OR they could be both wrong.

Get someone in a late model car do some tests with you on speed one check at 40 then 60 then 80 then 100 etc etc

Then you will know which one is correct.

My PFC speedo used to be correct then i got a different ratio diff and now the indash speedo is correct.

Yah, I agree with Troy, engine revs would comes from same source, and feed both FC and dash gauge.

The dash speedo though would be from a cable connected to gear box. As evident when heavy breaking and accelerating, there can be huge hysteresis in the needle.

PFC would however take the speed from the hall effect sensors on each wheel for your ABS system. Me think the requirement for the ABS to have a good idea of vehicle speed, would automatically mean its more accurate then the dash speedo.

I think speedos are all calibrated to overread by a small amount eg 2%. All cars do it.

I would trust the PowerFC especially with the RPM - after all, its the PowerFC that should know it better than a dumb analogue needle because it controls the darn motor!

    • 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.
