Question as per title pretty much. Car will be running -7's or something similar. Maybe Tomei 260 / 9.15 cams (then again - maybe not) - tuning via power fc of course.

Have heard that there is some magic to be achive by changing the shape of the combustion chambers? or am I just another casualty of hearsay....

Search SAU for "squish zone"

Off the top of my head, Its there to increase low speed charge turbulance, that promotes a more complete burn. The disadvantge is, that feature can lower the boundry of detonation when running high air flow rates (power).

JUN and others remove the area on some of their motors.

Searching should reveal more.

Based on what I have seen, the squish zone argument is more RPM than power related. The argument goes that if you are running 10,000 rpm or so, the squish zone are limited in their effect do to the time it takes for the air to move up the zone and the turbulance thus created. Keeping in mind the effect compression ratio and hence the piston crown shape has on the squish zones. I don't know the change over point, rpm wise, for removing the squish zones, certainly at 8,000 rpm we haven't found it necessary.

Keeping the above in mind, I would simply match the combustion chamber volumes and polish out any excessive roughness than can lead to hot spots and detonation. Porting of course is essential.

Only know enough to get me into trouble it seems :P

I would have the combution chambers modded proffesionally (someone who specialises in GTR engines) But curious if it is worth the time and money.

do you know what your doing?

if not theres your answer right there :D

      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.

      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
