Bleed Valves? Which One Do U Use?


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

rs73 electronics could stuff up more quickly then some mechanical ways...eg heat from enigine, u know how electronics are sometimes unpredicatble and can fail etc etc...do u have a boost gauge or anything..i know some people set thiers up on a dyno and let it be...but its not always the best way to make sure everything is running good..

I have no money (cash strap) to justify spending like $200 at that time. And as the bleed valve has been dynoed 3 times and did not spike, I was led to believe that it would never spiked.

Now it has spiked, the law of physic has defeat the valve, and detonates my engine :)

I've learn the hard way. Do not let the same thing that happens to me, happens to you too. So please don't judge me now, I've got enough headache with the problem and $$$ to try to fix this by:

- replacing the bleed valve with EBC

- getting my engine checked out thoroughly

- getting a more reliable boost gauge

At least i'm lucky the car is still running and turbo is still boosting (set to std boost 7psi now)...

yeah, no use whinging now...

Just get it replaced... my target is i wanna see a CONSISTENT 160rwkw minimum out of my car before the end of 2003.

If that target is fulfilled, next year I will aim for 180rwkw, then 200rwkw before end of 2004.

I have the GFB Atomic. Its pretty good; very little spiking. I recommend it. However boost tapers off about 1 psi up at the top end (past 6krm). But i think thats a charateristic of most bleeders and only a EBC can fix.. Btw Im running the stock cooler so that could be the problem...

    • 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
