I personally believe that Boostworx's sweet spot is with the RB25. I believe there are other (most likely more expensive) workshops that have more experience with the RB26. I'm having my engine rebuild done by Manta Racing but won't recommend them until the job is complete and I have the car back. Go to the different workshops yourself and speak to the people there to form you own opinion. The usual places mentioned are Boostworx, Graham West, Manta, Tilbrook, Blackwood Dynotune etc. If you do a search you'll see this topic gets covered quite regularly.

As for tuning power fc etc I know shaun is good at boostworx, but I cannot speak highly enough of John Keen at Southern Hi tech.

One of the most switched on poeple i and my family have had experience with lately is Steve Bell at Bell's Auto's on main north road. His experience is varied but his undestanding of the workings of the internal combustion engine and every aspect that affects its function is amazing. I believe Martin has had experience with Steve also.

Thanks Martin. I have no complaints about Steve or Manta except their hourly rate of $91.30... and that the car still isn't ready (although that's not actually Steve's fault). The engine blew on May 12 and was at Willall within a week. Five months later and I'm still waiting. And the cost... OMG!!!

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      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
