wow wish i could quit mine!

do it!!!!

nothing like a little peer pressure, I've been getting it on my phone from a few influential people

don't do it unless you have somewhere else to work

have to say i'm getting the "am i doing the right thing?" feeling now

ah what size is it

I think something like a 3inch pipe with a 4-4.5inch tip. havent really mesured yet. all stainless to.

Hope i get it all done tomorrow, wouldnt mind hearing how it is in the tunnels hehe

Hey Pete its ceramic and after 5,000 rpm it sounds like a supercharger whistle so now I'm not boosting @ all and I've taken as much boost out of the manual controller as i can so its basically running factory boost to which i'm not using trying to drive on 0 or neg vacuum

Sounds like you've lost a little bit of the impellar which probably just shot out of the exhaust.

I wouldn't be doing too much driving if I were you because the blades can get fairly unbalanced and shatter now.

OK if the pieces shoot straight out your exhaust.......not OK if a piece gets caught between an exhaust valve and seat.

oh what happens then and when I'm on negative vacuum my understanding is the turbine isn't spinning?? :(

Wouldn't have thought it would stop spinning altogether but as long as your under boost I can't imagine the thing would fly apart.

You would think that the ceramic has gone but you never know, it could also be something else?!

My old 32 was doing this about a day before the rear tubine let go and lodged itself in my cat, as SLED said i really wouldn't wanna drive the car that much cause it sounds like the turbo's close to death

yeah I'm doing barest minimum with 0 or little boost

when mine blew i was in town and had to drive my car to woodcroft to my mates to fix it, was a f__ked drive with no boost trying to get up south road

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
