Hey guys,

i was drivin home last nite. as i was turning a corner i heard a strange noise. sounded a lot like miss-fire, i could feel a vibration coming from the engine bay. I figured my coilpacks had finally gone. I was only a few mins from home and had to go to work so i figured ill drive it slowly home. the noise would go and come back, the car had no power at all. then as i turned into my street the noise when and then all of a sudden there was a loud winding noise, the higher the revs the louder it is. sounds like turbo wheel is scrapping against something. and its def comin from the turbo side... and im only getting vac no boost!!

anyone had this happen...???

good thing i was looking into getting a high-flowed turbo anyways lol

i've got the basic mods:

fmic

turbo back stainless 3' with no cat

pod filter

safc

was making 190rwkws at 12psi

and thats all i really wanted for street use.

can u guys help me choose a new turbo, since im upgrading it would b nice to have round 220rwkws on a safe tune, i was looking at the

GT3076

or getting mine highflowed by Hypergear - around $800 and comes with 12mnths warranty

i dont want anything big and laggy and so i have to spend another 3k changing injectors, ecu...etc

im happy to spend around 1k.

any advise would help.

Thanks guys

Adam

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
