  • 2 months later...

Nearly there now - maybe a week to go. ! yay

Engine is completely rebuilt - fully dowled - and back in the car

Injectors are in

Fuel pump is in

Turbo manifold and pipe work is currently being manufactured

I'm getting excited again !

Ha ha - Yeah , Yeah - that quote was before I decided to go the whole hog with the engine rebuild. (ie just the go fast bits bolted on)

I'm used to it ! Good work takes time !

My cars seem to like workshops :) :) ;)

Not long to go now !

Adrian - where's the best place to get the Auto tricked ? It's a Jatco ! Same as the 300ZX box - Will go for manualised auto with 3000 RPM stally -

Do you reckon I should go a transbrake as well ???? :)

Ordinarily I'd say Steve Butchard from BMS as he makes fully manualised, normal (forward) pattern, NO ELECTRONICS modifications to JATCO's. He makes a transbraked valvebody for them that is the shiznit.

I don't know how seriously you're going to want to drag race the car so unless you plan on putting slicks on it and turning into a rotary drag nut, I wouldn't bother with the transbrake.

You should make a call to MV Automatics in S.A. and speak to him about the manual valvebody he does for the JATCO's. If it's the 300ZX box, it's an RE403A. Exactly the same valvebody as a Skyline RE401A and in fact, most of the parts are interchangeable. (403 will handle more torque than a Skyline/WRX 401A but the larger components absorb more power. A reasonable trade-off in the circumstances.)

If Mike at MV can build you a box that is:

A/ Completely manualised

B/ Fitted out with tough steels, bands, clutches, etc

C/ Refurbished and re-bearinged (is that even a word?)

D/ Equipped with a converter of his manufacture

...then I'd say go with him for the box. He certainly knows his shit when it comes to JATCO's and although there isn't a transbrake option with his modified valvebody (i don't believe anyway) and the over drive (4th) gear will be a function of an electronic switch (possibly like it is now) it is almost certainly the best way to go about strengthening your box to handle what you're about to feed it.

Cheers,

Adrian

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
