Hey,

This may be nothing but just wondering... My brother bought a R33 skyline yesterday and it drives really well! The only thing that was a bit annoying was the POD filter. Was so loud! Alot louder than any POD filters that i have had.

So we took the K&N air pod off today and put on a 3a Racing POD. The sound now is super loud! Even from behind the car I can only hear the airpod and not the exhaust! lol, cant believe how loud the POD is. Was just wondering if there is a reason for this, or if its just normal?

Also his stock boost gauge is nearly hitting the 7+, which is 14psi! lol, the guy said it was set to 7psi but he doesnt have a aftermarket boost gauge. The boost controller is a GFB controller i think. Are the stock gauges normally out by this much?

Thanks :)

hey they not sure about you pod noise problem,

however the stock boost gauge is in BAR and its actually 0.7 which is about 10 PSI, perfectly safe for stock turbo

your pod noise could just be a high flowed turbo and the type of dump pipe on the car, i know my spool noise got a hell of a lot louder when i put on the X-Force dump pipe and then louder again with the pod... just guessing thou :)

I thought the stock gauge is in kg/cm2 isnt it? I think 7 was stock.. but I cant remember. Thats cool that the pod is so loud might be aftermarket turbo?

A box to make it legal will minimise noise, an apexi pod will also quiet it down.

I always thought the stock gauge reads in mmhg?

Becasue 7 mmhg = 14psi.

And if your on Stock boost, the guage should read around 3.5, which is 7psi

Can anyone confirm this please?

Cheers :)

Cheers Guys! :D

Yeah looks like the boost is running hell high! Unless the stock gauge is out by heaps! Gonna hook up a aftermarket boost gauge 2moro and check it out.

Still not sure why the POD is super LOUD! lol, but it doesnt seem to be a problem so wont worry about it for now...

      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
