Well, I blew the rear wheel on my turbo over the weekend.

I have a replacement coming to get the car running again, but now I'm considering upgrading it.

Atm I'm thinking HKS GT-RS.

Just wondering what you guys think??

I have all the supporting mods, bar Z32 and injectors (they will be on the list if I go down this path)

Hey Man, so sorry to see that happen!

Was waiting for this post though :lol:

I think you should go for it, but it isn't coming out of my pocket.

It is such a clean car man and if the flutter comming off has been your biggest problem, you are doing pretty well! :)

P.S. I just put a stock ECU in (was mines) and it is a completly different car... I am loving it! Can't wait for more than 350kms from a tank! :down:

Yeah I was pretty cut lol, not in the fact that I didnt think it could happen, was just really looking forward to the drive home!!

What do you reckon 555cc or 740cc??

Thats awesome about the improvement of the ecu change over!! Do you reckon it was tuned for a bigger turbo??

that phat man is almost right... i think it was more so confused, pinging it's head off, tuned for higher octane fuel etc!

glad that is gone and I have been driving it like a softy in that time since it was running so poorly!

can't really help you on the injector size, Sam will be able to assist there... have you decided what you are going to do?

well what about looking into a hks 2530 or even 2535 they good turbo fast spool up on the rb25 they are an old style type of turbo but it depends what are you are gaining for in power out put, as for injector upgraid i would think to be on the safe side go for 720cc sards for that matter but do also if you have not allready done so upgrade the fuel pump and maybe also power fc never go a stray something to also think about

Thanks for the input Mich, know where you can get one of those kits?? and costs?

As part of the normal mod's before looking at the turbo upgrade I have fuel pump and powerfc. Was trying to get as much as I could out of the standard turbo, but since having lost the rear wheel out the exhaust, I have lost faith in their ability LOL

Sam's said the 555's will be more than enough for the power.

thought i mite give u my 2c on injector size, I have a standard RB25det, Z32 afm, pwr fc, Vg30 hi flo 040 fuel pump, and went for the 555cc injectors, runs 15lbs all day every day, has 250rwkw, this is not pushing the limits, 555cc handle the job nicely with more room to move if need be. was going to go bigger but not needed, what are u looking at kicking out power wise?

Well I have looked at the 2835 ProS Woolls, but I cant justify the extra cost for it, when I should be able to get that sort of power fron the GT-RS. Even if its a little less power I'm not going to be worried.

I dont intend to open the engine up and rebuild it, so I'm not going to get the most out of the 2835 (but I wasnt intending to upgrade the turbo either :D lol)

Im hoping that I can get some where around 250kw, but I really after a solid, responsive setup. We'll see what happens!

hey stryder, for what its worth imo for 250kws going all out on gt-rs would be delightful, if you have deep pockets :cool:

i however don't so a cheaper but still far capable option would be T517z's with 8cm rear housing to suit your quick spooling lust. also available in the 10cm rear too which is not a "laggy" turbo by any means.

if you were going to go nismo 555 you may find the price between them and sard 720 perilously close..just another something for you to consider i guess.

what is your car doing at the moment fuel pump wise.?

best of luck anyway dude :rofl:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
