Ow, yesterday my plugs were running a bit crap after my mate had borrowed the GTR, so I took it for a run up Mt beachmont, set the boost to limit at 1.2 bar as usual, and part way up the hill

*BANG* the loudest what i thought was a backfire went off, but came from the front, the car was still runnning good, but as soon as i slowed down enough to use the 3-4rpm range it started running very rough so i assumed my plugs were just fowled a little more, anyway got home and discovered the pipe that takes air from the turbos and feeds it to the intercool had blown itself open! about a 270 degress split around it, the material reenforcement the only then that stopped it seperating further, anyway check the boost controller after and the highest i got it too was 1.19 bar, i have been up to 1.28 before.

crazy stuff, fortuantally the boys at nizzpro had one lying around i could swap it with, then some petrol and a toothbrush to attack the plugs it like new again...

The day i tuned the car to 30psi i did not give a bit untill that night, first time i floored it i heard this massive bang sounded like it came from the front and the back and under the car, then the car started running like crap.

It blew 2 intercooler hoses off (one off the turbo and one on the other side of the car near the intercooler) and broke 2 hose clamps.

Scared the shit out of me. i seriously thought i blew the engine up lol

I've done that on 14 pounds lol. About a week after my FMIC went on, those cheap shitty hose clamps snapped and blew the alloy pipe out of the silcon joiner. Scared the shit outa me, thought i cracked the block or head or something haha.

haha who did you lend it to?

I'll give him the bash next time your over or i'm over

andrew del was driving it

i always lend my GTR out, while i have no license it keeps it being used

yeah i have had tons of pipes blow off, the stock clamps are crap, i replaced them with some huge non worm style ones, about $5 ea but worth it, if you do them up too tight they crush the thin metal tho

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      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.
