Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

It is interesting, the dynamic currently. I think with the camera/database and automated method of checking number plates, they already know what kind of driver you are (speeding fines, previous

Well I received my EPA in the mail, doesn't mention anything about the modifications he found but other than the exhaust it has all been put back to stock, gonna go down to an exhaust shop tomorrow to see what they can do but its 3" turbo back and 3.5" after the cat so it's pretty loud and I'm thinking stock catback with POSSIBLY the metal plate as R31Nismoid mentioned above added in is the only way it'll pass, any suggestions?

Cheers.

Yeah just spoke to an exhaust guy and he said it'll pass with stock cat back which is good, now I need to find someone who will lend it to me for a week in exchange for a slab or something..

Do they care that my N/A airbox doesn't fit properly with stock turbo piping and is only bolted down with one bolt? surely they wouldnt..

Well I'm not really sure thats the thing, the TMU officer pointed out manual boost controller, pod+intercooler and loud exhaust, now gone back to stock with the controller cos it was useless anyway, airbox is on (N/A one doesnt even fit :/ ) and the exhaust I suppose has to be under 90dB. It doesn't specifically state any modifications on the form but it says "Emission Control Systems And Noise" as the title :( $80.70 to get it tested it says.

Yea that's a full EPA. Car must be completely stock or legal (1 intake mod)

So I can leave the intercooler on? Cos theres a hole cut for that nor do I have the original cooler.

Leave the cooler on and have your stock airbox on. If your car isn't heavily moded you'll be fine

I know :( Previous owner has it for 6 years with the mods doesn't even get pulled over, I get stuck in a booze bus 2 weeks after purchase and I get done for his mods :( At least theres no massive mods, exhaust is all I have to worry about now.

Is there a difference between an N/A and GTS-T airbox or have I just set it up all wrong cos it hardly fits :P

I've had 1 full EPA with current mods and think there may be another one on it's way. But for me I have to change: turbo, injectors, afm, exhaust, boost controller and ECU. So yours will be fine

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.

      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.
