If you want to just get it coated.. look up "electroplating" in the yellow pages.. but i doubt it would last because of what ppl were saying.. mild steel can rust. I've heard chromed piping can start to rust on the inside if you get it dipped - which can be a problem and probably not that noticeable until its too late. Otherwise u might be just be better getting all new stainless steel piping like Megs was saying.. which u can polish right up.

For the blue stuff, you just need those silicon sleeves, which you can probably get some made up.. i know HKS and crap supply them with their cooler kits, so you must be able to get them around.

I'm just thinking of that 200sx at MAS with the Gold chroming everywhere - that was awesome. Not sure about long life though :)

hehe lemme cmment bout this one trust me chrome does rust i got it on my cooler piping and my battery started to leak and i noticed it when my cooler piping started to rust... the hose you can get from purple pig rubber hose supplys :D its basically a rubber hose no matter what colour it is get the good stuff its about $1.50 1cm i think so yeah good luck u might as well polish mild steel then chrome it it cost cheaper bcz theyll both rust anyway itll be bout $150 all your pipes stainless steel is the way to go mate i made that mistake dont make it aswell as i always say you get what you pay for

i spoke to a local shop and they didnt wanna know me :D

like would an exhaust shop be cheaper than say ice performance and the likes ? as i'd prefer ice to do it coz i trust them etc but i mean its only piping, as long as its made without holes/weak spots etc it should be kool yer ?

      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
