also ever since iv painted my cooler black you cant even see its there so thats one less thing for cops to spot when they first see you. all they would see no is a short currie dude driving a stock looking R34 with exhaust and lowered slightly lol.

well hope i dont get pulled over and get done bad (so far just got a warning for the pod only. didnt say anything about cooler). im always over at my mates house around the corner from you luke so ye just gotta be careful now.

touch wood lol.

but ye let me know how you go with it all. and also bee keen to know if the hole is allowed to be patched up???

also what if the hole was there but no cooler pipe going through it??? they woudlnt really notice the hole in that case...would they???

Doesn't this still require cutting to the reo - which you could get defected for?

Yes, but at this point of time the police are aiming for and defecting cars with the hole through the engine bay. A reo is also a lot more easy and cheaper to replace than fixing/engineering the hole.

Point is that with the return pipe you do not cut any more holes into the car and you use the factory pipes in the engine bay, so it looks more stockish too.

They cant do anything if your not in the car.
Don't know where you got that info mate.

They can send you a letter in the mail stating that you are to take the car to your local police station, for a routine inspection, due to the suspicion that the car is illegally modified. They give you a week to take the car to the police station, otherwise the registration will be canceled.

Consider yourself lucky they didn't do that to you. :laugh:

7 friggin days!

I mean come on, i'm going to have to go through so many procedures to get it fixed in time. I thought the officer would have been slightly more lenient.

I'm still unsure what to do.

I need a VASS certificate (A requirement on the defect notice) which i cannot get because as others have pointed out, an engineer won't sign off on it.

Do i fix it and get it road worthied first then get a VASS certificate? Why would i need a VASS certificate if the problem has been resolved?

I'm screwed.

Ashneel, do you drive the white r34 exactly like mine? You usually park outside my house.

also what if the hole was there but no cooler pipe going through it??? they woudlnt really notice the hole in that case...would they???

Pettet knew exactly what to look for. Within 2 seconds of approaching my window: "Pop the bonnet". Takes the flashlight out and goes straight for the hole without checking whether or not the car had an FMIC.

oh!...wonderful!!...thankyou!

I wonder if we can fit something like that.....very nice.

I'll return it to stock. Who knows, i'll install one of these and Pettet would defect me for having a shiny intercooler that is distracting to other drivers. Can't win.

Priority is getting it stock.

Lukey..I know you know that I feel your pain right now....and you have a good crew of friends here already assisting you with advice....and as scary as some of it is, it's not insurmountable.

I'll help you get through this, and so will your friends here too bro. (whether we sell or fix the car!!)

I know you feel pretty down right now, it's a gorgeous machine, and as long as you still love it, we'll fix it.

Have you rang Tony yet?

Has the Silvia been fixed yet, (you may need it for a few days, or you can borrow my Festiva).

Keep us all informed anyway it'll be interesting if there's any engineers out there (surely there's one?) who would sign off on it. Maybe with a cash adjustment their way too :laugh:

My brother 'superspit' is picking up my car from work in an hour or two to take to an engineer to see if it can be done.

We'll see what happens. Somehow i think it's not gonna happen

Cool, i couldn't believe it the first time i saw it. I thought someone had moved my car into the court!

Sounds like a nice machine, wouldn't mind a closer look at it if you're in the area one of these days :-)

      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.

      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.

      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
