Hi all,

Just wondering what the differnce is between a JJR fmic and say a greddy with prices around $350 and $700 respectively?? Are the performances similar? and why should i buy a greddy over the jjr??

Cheers

ease of fitment. quality of workmanship.

That's true... and as with and car mod/upgrade/whatever, you get what you pay for. The jjr one might be good for a VERY mild street car but when you start doing upgrades to your car and start putting more boost through it, you'll start noticing problems with leakages through crappy welds, etc. Do things right the first time with mods and you'll save yourself a fortune :)

And if you live in New Zealand then the JJR one almost equates to the cost of a Blitz LM with the rediculous shipping costs you Aussies throw at us :P Plus exchange rate pwnage.

And again of course ++ Respect

Gotta take into account the application.

For a 250rwkw car or something similar, a JJR is the way to go cost vs gain.

Although if your chasing serious power on a serious setup, the you might be better off using something better suits (ie, more costly)

The new spec LS Greddy cores are 30% lighter over the old ones, are tube and fin over bar and plate, are fairly cheap at around $650 off the shelf for the kit and fit perfectly, not to mention look great. Probably one of the best buy intercoolers on the market IMO.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
