Hey dudes,

Been in darwin for a few years now. Finally got myself a skyline 6 months ago. Haven't had many problems with her and am planning on a few more upgrades in about a month. Opinions on who would be best to tune up my car- HI-TECH, JSM or REV IT UP. Any other suggestions for places would be good too.

If anyone is going out cruising this weekend please post where and when, most likely i'll be cruising down to TC and TDZ. See you all down there.......

Welcome Ryu (Hadoken)

Alot of members have certain alliances with certain workshops but, my favourite would be Dave @ Hi Tech Tuning as he as worked on my last 2 Skylines and I've had no problems.

Dr Drift who is a well known tuner will be coming up here soon (check with RBNT for exact dates) to do some tuning at Hi Tech and JSM so, I would recommened you get your car tuned by him once the dates are finalised.

Cheers.

Dave has taken care of all my cars (about 15 of them), all turbo's, all imports. I am running around in an Autech wagon at the moment so technically not a Skyline but pretty close. Dave rebuilt the motor for me and its a sweet thing. Dave gets a big thumbs up from me. For your own peace of mind shop around and see what you can find.

Cheers,

Ken

Thanks everyone for your opinions and thoughts, will look into it a bit more. Have spoken to Dave quite a few times in the past and have confidence that he is switched on when it comes to imports. Am currently sourcing a new turbo, injectors, pump, coilpacks, clutch, apexi pfc and associated hardware. Will be doing most of it myself, with the help of my mates (mostly mechanics). One problem i have at the moment is deciding if i should go new turbo, manifold and external wastegate or get a larger bolt-on turbo with internal wastegate. I know external is better in the long run, but only want to spend about $5-6,000 on parts and tuning. Any info or opinons are greatly appreciated. Ryu.

really depends what your goals for the car are. the stock manifolds are pretty good and unless your chassing huge numbers your better of spending money elsewhere. the sliding proformance turbos are an awsome upgrade as well.

best bet would be just do some searching on here this site has to be one of the best resources there is when it comes to anything skyline.

I have been to HTT and theyre fine in my books. a friend of mine recently took his supra to REVITUP and he said they were good as well. Horses for courses man.

Probably be best if you stay away from TDZ. You'll instantly get branded a hoon if you get spotted by the boys in khaki.

      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.

      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
