yeah. unless you are running 12 inch slicks and have spent ALOT of money on a propper suspension setup a limmit of 280-310rwkw is the limmit. unless you are ari vartanen :)

honestly i think your better off aiming at the lower end of that. get used to how it behaves then turn the wick up. so yeah a twin lowmount setup is best. they dont come onto full boost as violently.

LOL... I'm on a Skyline forum so I have got into the habit of not mentioning that I have a.... VL Wagon (said very quietly out of the corner of his mouth while looking furtively over his left shoulder!!!!)

And Ari Vartanen has nothing on me!!! One of my favorite drivers of all time, they even say that his balls are that big he has to carry them in a wheelbarrow....!!

I have owened two cars in the past capable of putting 500+hp on the road. A stove hot SBC in a LX Torana that was a huge amount of fun and a HX ute with a BBC that had less traction than you can ever imagine...

This time round I want to try a turbo combo with similar power in a better prepared car...

I must admit, having spent the last couple of months on a bunch of Skyline forums researching this combo, that I have thought about putting a milder (read cheaper) combo into the VL and finding a GTR/GTS-4 for this sort of power. R32 GTRs can no longer be registered here so they are worth parts value only, around 10k for a nice one. My boy and I have owned two R32 GTS-Ts in the last three years and they are a superb little package... He's moving back home from Sydney at the end of the year so I'll continue with my plans till then...

I still feel that this power level is ok in a capable 2wd...

I think it was Peter Brock who said "Always bite off more than you can chew, and then chew like crazy..."

Cheers

with the previous power the setup i have was perfect it was quick in and out of corners and stuck to the ground, your saying to aim for lower power but 300kw aint much less then what im chasing, im running 10inch slick on 18s so traction isnt a problem( well it wasnt, it will be once new motor is in) i dont have loads of money but im not going half arse and skipping corners, if it takes another 6months to spend the money and get a better suspension setup ill do it, but i dont really wanna go soft on the motor just cause my setup wont handle it or i might not, ill have to learn quick, but in saying that ive done are fair few track days ls2 days open days etc and a couple of super sprints so i do have a bit of no-how!

thanks TO4GTR thats the kind of ball park im looking at achieving and cheers guys for the feed back.

      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
