i'm considering upgrading turbo to something larger and have found a gt35r with internal wastegate, its t3 flange, and i am wondering if there is enough room for it to fit on my stock manifold in the low mount position, any help would be appreciated

thanks

Will need a spacer plate to clear the manifold.

But yep, can be low mounted.

I'm pretty sure this applied to RB20/25 manifolds if I am correct, because I know this is how it works on an RB30 manifold..

But someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Basically because of the size of the turbo, front cover/housing, it will either touch the manifold or just not even get close, which means the flange on the turbo cant sit all the way up to the manifold..

A spacer plates sits between the turbo and the manifold flange to allow the turbo to sit a little lower down from the manifold, allowing clearance for the front cover to have space between it and the manifold it self.

Hope that makes some sense, if it doesn't I will have to bust out bad ass Microsoft Paint! And you don't want that shit!

if your talking about the garrett GT3582R-IW

then yes they fit fine.i was running mine low mounted for nearly a year, and have only recently changed to a high mount manifold due to my stainless low mount cracking. (as they do)

if your interested i have the spacer and custom stainless dump pipe you will require for installing it.

and i also have a stainless oil feed, and return to suit.

And then have it crack and have to remove/fix the setup half a dozen times... ye no.

Too much of a pain

im using a 250 dollar manifold.. ill make sure ill let you know WHEN and IF mine cracks :)

i know of a couple of people using them.. and they have not cracked in a couple of years of VERY hard driving..

willing to show me different ash?

well then speak to leigh at extreme turbo manifolds to weld you up one..

and

yes you can use it on a stock one.. you will needa punch a hole in it for the gate where it all merges (near where you bolt the turbo on) and you will need a space for clearence..

And then have it crack and have to remove/fix the setup half a dozen times... ye no.

GKTECH make a stainless manifold that has been personally tested by Greg on one of his track cars.

Took a good thrashing with a decent sized GARRETT turbo, constant abuse on the track with no issues.

He also does a lot of stainless manifolds for RB30 which have been running on some high power engines for a fair period of time.

I agree, some stainless manifolds are poorly made and are prone to crack, but some are good quality and do last.

Cast would still be the safest bet by far though.

    • 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
