I did a search, I found most people like run first 3000kms with no boost and limit rpm. but i told to a few tuner. they told me no matter how hard you drive it. only thing need careful is the engine oil, just don't use full syn oil in 1500kms. and a said if the engine builder is good enough the engine may only need a run in time on dyno.

I have no idea how to run in it prepely. some suggestion??

last owner done 2500kms after engine rebuild. I didn't know how did he drive, but i think he must done some hard driving on mountain. I also push very hard as well about 200kms. maybe change full syn oil after another 300kms?

but my gtr is run really good. good power, every thing is good.anyway I will get it on dyno next week check every thing.

if the engine push hard(not very hard, just normal drive,a few mountain and some 8000rpm gear change) in run in period will it get any damage??? or just take a bit long to finish run in?

2500km is around 1500km too much if you're doing the usual street driven run-in. the idea is to bed the rings in pretty much around the first 300km of driving.

what i do is not to do ANY highway driving, just do normal driving while accelerating from each set of lights going from a 30-40% higher than usual take-off speed then driving as per usual thereafter till you come to a stop again.

its also important that your AFR's arent rich during run-in as not to get bore wash which also causes your rings not to bed in properly.

personally i only do the full 1000km run-in because my mechanic says so - i dont want to give them any reason to void my warranty. any good tuner that actually gives a crap about your car can run your car in on the dyno. its always good to get a few k's (around 500km) of street driving just to sort things out before the final tune but 2500-3000km is over doing it. if the motor is going to fail because of wrong bearing clearances then it will fail well within the first 200km of driving, or on the dyno when its being run in.

      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
