would recommend Autoworx or Xspeed, people who do this quite alot

or how good are you with your hands? If you've got all the bits you could do it yourself.

Did mine myself, not too shabby, a few f*ck ups but thats how we learn, haha

Yea... do it yourself and save heaps of money. Just take your time with it and be sure you got it all right. You have to cut one hole in the chasis for the piping to go through and might need to take a tiny bit out of the bumper, but hopefully not.

series 2 + greddy fmic... he will have to cut a hole and trim the bumper.

I say do it ur self... i did mine my self as well. But i installed a stealth FMIC, so no cutting required.

However, most work shops like xspeed, c red, tenagah can do it for u for few hundred.

Just to add, it did cost me a carton.

The intercooler I have was too thick for the metal support behind the bumper so I marked it out and took it a panel beater, he cut it perfectly and sprayed it for a carton of TED's. (tryed cutting it myself but it was too much for the little ozito anglegrinder lol).

plugs or coil packs

most probably coil packs . gap your plugs down to .8 or lower but it will probably only help temporarily . then buy some splitfires

it's a bit of a long shot, but check that when you fitted your return pipe you didn't knock the plug in your CAS .. i had a problem with a loose wire in mine once and it caused the same issue.

Checked the Cas plug.. feels firms and secure.. its the round thing in front of the engine where now the intercooler runs on top of it hey

U sure theres no leak with ur intercooler piping??

Everything sealed up?

Yeah found the problem br3ndan cheers buddy. i checked the intercooler piping like u said and i found that the hose connection that connects the pipe to the intercooler under the headlight wasnt covering fully and probably was leaking from there.

i feel like a fool now :P

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
