Ok so here is what im working with

r33 Gts-t

full exhaust

EBC

Now is the time for a FMIC and I was wondering if this option could give me less lag as the piping will be shorter

as you can see (dealer dosent have a pic for the r33 model) ... the piping is almost identical as stock

any feed back would be great !!

Sure less piping but the air at the end of the tank hits the flat end tank then has to perform a harsh 180degree turn to head back through the fmic = quite a large pressure drop. But it will work.

As for whats better. This setup or a pipe that does a 180degree bend and then travels back I'm not sure.

Unless you go back to back you probably won't notice.

Maybe you might be able to record some sort of pressure drop when running high boost applications.... but i run 12psi with a Blitz Lm Return pipe and there no pressure drop..

there IS a slight lag as the much larger cooler is filled compared to the stocko item but this is the same with a straight through fmic. I think at the 200kw kinda world where most people with pretty stock cars are sitting... you wont notice the difference. With a 300kw rb25... well that could be a different story.

Im running a fairly crappy setup.

A 450x300 with small 2" piping.

My piping does a full 180degree bend in to the fmic on the drivers side running up underneat the fmic; so not quite as nice as the Blitz setup which has the end tank designed to accommodate the 180degree bend some what from memory?

Mines making 268rwkw on 15psi and doesn't appear to be having any issues at the moment but its definitely not optimal. :S

      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
