Well, pretty much I'm done screwing around with my v-spec ii r-tune.

I've only a few more niggles. You can see the missing center caps for one.

I need a new battery.

I'd like some coilovers that are up to Ohlins standards but are quiet.

Any recommendations?

Damn, how long have you been hiding this R1..?

I never knew...

Nismo R-Tune R1 + HKS V-CAM, the car must really go hard.

What suspension you got in atm?

I have Cusco's atm but I must say are quite hard, but I felt Tein's are quite good.

2530s so I think it is 375 kw at 24psi but I have all the original bits so can return

to stock some time.

driving around like a granny it is smooth and quiet which makes the violence when it

boosts even more freaky.

ohlins flag-r and they feel great, not hard or bone jarring, despite having 10lb springs.

but .. they rattle on the mounts @ the rear, and I'm told that is just the way it is. Not

audible when pushing it, just when dawdling around. It bugs me.

they were installed replacing s-tune, and two different places said I'd have to live with it, Croydon was one of them.

but on another forum someone said they cut out rubber from a mat and used that in the mounts

somehow! (not flag-r but other Ohlins). Would be a shame to give them up if its just one fix away

from being done.

^^ Nice!

Built / Imported from Nismo Factory yeah..?

Have you got the rear coil overs checked out to see what the rattling noise is?

All the Nismo S1 and R1 engine builds come right out from the Omori Factory and a special build plate can be seen on the right strut tower.

I'm so jealous Justin, I've never seen an R1 engine before but plenty of S1's. I'll pm you about meetup soon and talk about my coilovers I use.

Yeah I knew that, what I was trying to ask was did Moneypit import it directly from the Nismo Omori Factory or was it bought from an Import place.

I should have explained myself ;):down:

it is a zele car, the original owner had omori do the R1 conversion in 2003. I think if I was in Japan with a mint R34 I'd do the same. For the price you can screw up in far greater style by going to some tuning shop or another. And the car is very much still as tractable as it was stock.

I'm going to take it to tunehouse in a couple of weeks, and see what they recommend.

To get a 2nd opinion yeah..?

Ohlins are nice and IMO, no suspension should just rattle and have to live with it.

Yeah you put up with the bumpy / hard ride but noise wise, gota be checked out.

      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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      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
