Hey, well im new here.

My name is Sam, 20 yrs and counting.

Bought myself a skyline R31 GX 3.0L, completely stock and thought I had better join the skyline club as I am interested in modifying this little beauty of a car. Havent really done much with it yet, just have to sort out a few bugs with it (ticking exhaust and wheel alignment). Will have pics up asap, just let me get home and to a decent camera.

Anyway, Looking forward to seeing what I can do to this car, and what others have done to theirs.

-Sam

OK forgot to add, it has the RB30E engine, and the exhaust is getting fixed by a mate who used to work for nissan. Getting a muffler for it, and it lowered within the next 2 weeks. Going to just go to 17" rims as I honestly cbf with the paper work involved in 19".

I would however like to know what people recommend I do to improve the engine, if I can turbo it w/e. I honestly dont know what I can do to it at this stage, so any input is helpful. Ive been reading around and asking around as much as I can.

Thanks in advance,

-Sam

wooo Sam's rock!

welcome to the forum. What state are you in? how old/what licence do you hold?

What you can and can't do.. legally.. depends on those questions :P

Otherwise check out the N/A section and the RB30 section as im sure there would be a lot of info there on what you can look at doing to your car.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      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.

      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.
