Hi, it is a slow process but it looks like it going to cost me about $12,000+ for this motor rebuild + extras.

I had a look at the no.1 piston when they got the motor apart and had cracked ring landing. Scored the bore, hopefully machinable to 20 thou, cause from old motor, or maybe over boosting it without tuning. (My bad). Either way it was needing a rebuild in time to come.

I found I had a nismo single spring button clutch in the car, so just going to reco that. - $800+

The type of pistons that I'm going to use are called Arie's/Aeries something like that. (Forged Pistons)

The turbos I'm going to use are called 2830 -5 twins I think. Can anyone tell me anything about them?

And the P.F.C I was thinking about using is called WOLF. Does anyone know of these computers?

Thankyou

Hi,

I had a rebuild on my R32 at Racepace, where are getting it rebuilt? I also used Arias Forged pistons. Arias are a very well respected brand, but more important is your rebuilder is experienced with the piston and not have too much clearance. Ben knows exactly how much is too much and used the tightest setting and I had absolutely no rattle on start up and near zero engine roughness.

I dont know what the 2830's are (are they HKS?) but I know a popular turbo is the HKS GT2530's. I opted for the HKS GT-SS which are slightly smaller, but are a little more responsive. Had 90% peak power buy 4000rpm till redline so it made driving it very easy. Dyno gave 313rwkw, with GT2530 prob would have been around 330+rwkw.

As for ECU, I PFC refers to the A'Pexi Power FC. Its an excellent option cos its plug and tune, whereas other standalones may need new sensors and rarely have a base map so install costs are much more. I was thrilled with mine but it doesnt matter what you use, its who tunes it that matters.

All I can say is you're going through an expensive exercise so dont skimp on costs, get the best parts and builder you can afford. Better to pay more once than pay less twice. I spent about $20k all up (which is on the expensive side) but I never had a problem and the car drove beautifully. Even my friend mentioned it drove smoother than his stock rex.

      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
