Hello all, I have been on the site for a while now but this is my first post really. I currently drive an R34 GTT and live in the UK and I am looking at doing a top mount turbo conversion on my GTT. I have got most of the parts but I still need to find a few final bits and I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help.

My main problem is Forged Pistons, Over here in the UK company’s don’t list any pistons for the R34GTT and the ones that do say they are the same as the R33 GTST but I have also been told by other R34 owners who have put in R33 pistons not to bother because they are different and if I do my engine will last about 6 months before it goes pop. The only other option I have is to get a set fabricated here in the UK which will cost £1000 + VAT which is a lot of money for pistons so does anyone know of any company in Australia or anywhere for that matter that can source R34GTT forged pistons and would be willing to ship them to the UK?

Also having problems sourcing Nismo 740CC top feed injectors it seems in the UK we can only get 540cc for the R34GTT

Thanks in advance also apology’s if I have posted this in the wrong section

In regards to the injectors

Unless Nismo are making 540cc for the 2007 Nismo range, last time I checked Nismo only made 480cc for the ER34.

The other ones are only available for the R33 series RB25, ie non neo.

Im not sure which highmount your going for, but if its going to be high mounted it will most likely be a large turbo which will make a fair bit of power.

You COULD get away with the 480s but just to be safe I opted for the Sard 650cc which are a straight fit.

As far as i know R34 rb25det pistons are not the same as R33. Neo piston have smaller dome + valve reliefs.

Agreed, but ive never pulled a stock NEO apart. The combustion chambers in the head are much smaller, so the pistons must have a smaller dome to maintain the same compression.

Thanks everyone for the replys some usful information here I will start looking in to them asap. Seems this piston question will go one for ever some say they are the same as the R33 some say they are different. I just dont want to spend 4K on an engine put R33 pistons in and it only lasts 6 months because they are the wrong ones for the car.

Thanks again

I heard this is part of emission thingy... what people usually do is chuck in R33 forgies and increase gasket thickness to 15mm I think...otherwise there'll be high knock

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
