Hi,

Got a quick question which I need help with...

Okay well I just upgraded my Brake Booster to a R34 GT-T Version as I have upgraded my brakes to R34 Fronts. Now the problem I have is with the booster removal and installation. I removed the Brake Master Cylinder, BMC and vacuum hose from the engine side and then removed the four retaining bolts on the inside. The problem is I found it really hard to get the Booster to come out eventually with wiggling and tugging it came out.

I then fitted the new booster but found it difficult to get it to go into the mounting hole. Eventually with lots of wiggling and pushing its what I would call '95% in' but it still feels like it is not seating right (feels like its sitting slightly out on the LHS). Is there a trick to removing and fitting these that I have missed?? Just feels like it needs to go back a couple of mm on one side any idea how to get it to seat 100%.

Also I would like to upgrade the BMC from the stock R33 NON ABS unit but wondering what car I can get a upgrade from or what Part # replacement would be a straight fit but have a bigger cylinder?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for replies

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

      Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
