hi all

i just have a couple of quick silly questions as im still a fresh noob, all questions relate to my R33 GTS-T

1. I have a switch on my console that says Power, A/T, Snow...what exactly does the snow one do, i would imagine it would stop sudden bursts of boost...others have told me it could mean it turns the turbo's off...(would be good if you were next to cops lol)

2. what engine oil would you recommend to put into these babies, i kno thin oil like 5w or 10w but what brand and what ratio?

Thank you in advance people

Jay

Hey dude,

-the power switch holds gears for a bit longer before changing; try it from a standstill and you will know what i mean.

-The normal mode changes nice and smoothly but you can always give a little more pedal to make the car hold the gear.

-The snow mode starts the car off in second gear which is a safer in slippery conditions but technically you wouldnt use it in aus. There is no way to turn off the turbos

for oil i would use 5w40 or 10w40. Full synthetics are definitely the best like from mobil1 or castrol and motul make a very nice oil called turbolight which is very good for the price at about 50bux.

If your insane and paranoid like me you can use motul chrono 300v at like 150bux

Welcome to forums by the way, im sure your car will give you plenty of joy....or pain

Please post some pics of your car when you get the chance.

just a bit of something i've learnt driving my car around. you can make it go into power if you hit the accelerator fast. say if you were at a standstill and you suddenly mash the pedal. or if you are cruising, quickly lift off and mash. it happens even if you are trying to take off slow, and hit the accelerator fast but lightly. in essence it depends on how quickly you get on the pedal not really how far you push it down

    • 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
