The car is a completely standard 1990 GTR 32, standard boost, standard airbox and exhaust as well.

It was ok when I left home this morning. When I was on the way back home on freeway, suddenly a strange sound came out from engine bay, then the engine lost power and felt like a NA engine.

I tried to push it hard, the REV went up slowly and didn't feel the turbo power, the boost guage never went past zero, a winding sound came out from engine bay and the sound became stronger when the REV was higher.

When I got home, the car was idling as normal, no smoke came out from the exhaust, but still no turbo power.

Can anyone tell me are the turbos gone or is the engine problem? I didn't feel either of turbos is working. Is that expensive to fix? I hope it is not a serious problem.............................

Any help will be appreciated in deep.

The turbo is most liekly blown. When the turbo blows, it doens't have to blow smoke. I have one here without a rear wheel that didn't leak a drop of smoke.

Could be expensive if the ceramic dust went back up into your engine taking the engine with it.

If not, you're up for a set of turbos, plus the labour

What where you doing when the noise " suddenly " started ( fullboost or just crusing ).

Sounds something like what happened to me, when i left home one day the car was running fine and the further i got the less boost i had till i had none at all and same as you i thought i'd blowin a turbo but the day i drove the car and it had boost again and again the longer i drove it the less boost i had til it was all gone, turns out it was the compiance cat that came with the car had stuffed up changed it and had no more probs. :P

So how do I know the turbo is blown or not? I don't feel the turbo power at all, I thought if one of them is blown, the other one is still working.........can anyone give me the answer?

And what is the reason why the boost guage never goes past zero?

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
