I've had my r32 GTR for nearly a week now and i'm still getting to know the ins and outs of it. I've just managed to get the boost gauges working and have discovered that the car is running with 13 psi boost. The guy I bought it off said that it had standard turbo's running standard boost. I've searched all over the engine bay and I can't see any sign of a boost controller or bleed valve. I had a look at the turbo's and they have got Garrett on them. Am I right in thinking that standard turbo's are IHI jobbies?

The car has a full aftermarket exhaust system including hi flow cat and pod filters. Does this amount of boost sound right with these mods without the use of a controller/bleed valve? How many different model Garrett turbo's are there for the gtr?

Where's the restrictor and how can I tell if its been removed?

On the driver's side suspension tower, you'll see 2 small black hoses going into a silver cylindrical gadget.

On one of the hoses there may be yellow band, this is where the restrictor is placed. Whoever did the job may have just cut the restrictor out instead of kneading it out, so you may not have the yellow band.

In any event, this is where it goes.

Yeah I've seen this. If thats the case then the restrictor is still there.

Squeeze the band to see if there's a solid brass ring in it. The band may be there but the restictor may also have been removed.

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      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.

      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.
