i have done a turbo brake upgrade on my car :) see im usefull for some things, not a lot but some things.

umm i got R34 GTT 4 pot calipers on the front (you will need 310mm rotors for them to fit properly) and R33 GTST 2 pot calipers on the back (297mm rotors need - which is the stock size anyway).

very easy to do they fit straight on really! lol

my stock size front rotors where 296mm yet the rear is 297mm - -go figure considering most of the braking is done on the front :):)

The reason fo the rears being bigger is because of the parking brake. If you compare the front and rears there is actually more "disk" surface on the front.

Im not sure what the difference is the the X models,

Could be just a different Trim or something.

You're correct. The "X" is a trim level specific.

Main difference with the "X" from the plain GT(T), from memory are the xenon headlights, premium stereo, 16" alloys (for non-gtt)

Mechanically its the same as either the GTT or GT. That is why you have models such as the GT-XT and GT-X

Well i only have the pics of the car so i dont know yet. But its is totally standard. Has the gtt 17's though...?

Yes, the GT-T and GT-V have the same 17" alloys stock so they can accomodate the big brakes up front.

GT-Vs also have HICAS.

Basically the GT-V is identical to the GT-T except not having a turbo, 3 guages in the center and traction control. Interior is the same too.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
