hey all, just picked up a new turbo today. was expecting to get a standard S2 RB25 turbo

upon closer inspection it seems that its got a GCG ID plate stamped onto it, which leads me to believe that its been rebuilt/high flowed.

Having never seen a standard turbo in person, i have nothing to compare to.

Can anyone confirm this?

Well lucky me then :):laugh:

this is really going to put a hole in my wallet now since im going to have to get all the supporting mods to really make use of it

i was onli going for a little bit more power which is why i was looking for a standard turbo

the guy i bought it off was using the engine to do a conversion and already had a turbo for it, he thought this one was standard, well that was until we pulled the manifold off and saw the ID plate

thanks for the input :(

It's definately a highflow but it has a 7 blade front wheel which I haven't seen in a GCG one before. I'm with R31nismoid, give GCG a call.

I ran an old GCG stage 2 highflow on my rb20, 14psi by about 4300, made 175rwkw at 12psi with a massive torque hole at the bottom end :happy:

That exhaust wheel certainly looks a hell of a lot larger than stock and I think that compressor wheel/inlet looks bigger than the standard 25 turbo I've got sitting at home.

It is a GCG trust me.. they even sprayed the actuator black as well.. exactly the same.

GCG have definately high flowed the exhaust side of the turbo - got the big arsed wheel in there for a nice n steady 19psi of boosting! Not sure about the front tho, cant tell by the photo. For all I know its a standard front wheel and a highflow to the rear?

Either or, a very tidy pickup for $450 mate. Set to 1bar there is no doubt that you'll be a happy chappy

      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
