Yes your ceramic turbo lost its wheels... :no:

Not his GT30 that he fitted 4 weeks ago... and he said before that theres no smoke... so i assume it can't be that severe.. well he hopes not anyways

I fitted my GT3076R 2 weeks ago next tuesday... im loving it.

Nice one matey, at least you worked it out. Bet when you saw that, you felt both relieved and really dumb at the same time :no:

Do your intercooler pipes have a lip on them? if not, you may want to get one made, otherwise, everytime you hit high boost, it'll pop the pipe off

lol i felt more then dumb and it wasnt hanging to far off, just pulled the bumper off, went down to bunnings to buy a hose clamp and fitted it and all fixed, man was it a relief took it for a drive down the beach and everything is good !!

Thank god we helped you sort that problem out....

lol @ boost no work in neutral

hahaha :no: golden

hey guys not long ago my clutch has been getting bad, and as i was driving it changing from 2nd - 3rd it felt like a a big slip ever since then my car cant seem to boost? i tried it before reving it in neautral and cant boost at all ? any ideas on whats happening ?

cheers sam

your car isnt like the ones in thse jap draag movies lol.

Cruise generally you'll find that a narrow clamp will bite into the hose more because it has less area of the hose to compress - trade off of hose life because given enough force it can cut the hose clean through if the clamp is narrow enough .

Same old song - have a read of Corky Bells Maximum boost , he shows how some race apps have tags welded to the plumbing and some flexible eg wire means of resisting the pipe spreading through internal boost forces . Doing things this way means the clamps workload is reduced to sealing the hose and pipe/duct , not stopping the pipes bolwing appart .

Cheers A .

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
