With the idle thing - I don't think your tune should change. Changing the idle only involves increasing the standing rpm of the engine, so you should be fine ;) (Check the thread about Cleaning the AAC valve for RB25's under the DIY/FAQ section). Although, this may be overriden by the ECU?

On the stock ECU there is a small screw on the bottom to fine tune the idle. Be very delicate, it is easy to turn and has a max limit of 250rpm at max, change it manually -> just see the thread, don't take my word for it. :P

Good luck.

The dash lights could have an earthing problem if they are all dim, I had a few issues with the parkers that was an earthing problem.

That thread for shimming the diff explains it well.

Microtechs have a problem with cold running and aircon, I have decided mine sucks but I solved the low idle by using the adjustable part of the throttle cable to raise it, when I set it back after being told to, the lt12 or the ecu adjusted for it and now it idles high but doesnt stall at least. Check the thread for idle problems there are a few items that effect it.

1. Maybe the rheostat to adjust the brightness has been turned right down.

2. Can't help you.

3. Adjusting the idle will not affect the rest of the tune. If you are concerned about the richness, take it to someone who knows Microtechs and get them to tune it properly.

      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
