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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
