Dion, if u read this. Was just looking at the engine u brought, you do know u have to pay aus customs, quarantine, agent fee's, docking fee's, storage fee's on that engine when it arrives here? roughly another 800-1k on top of the buy it price which streeter has quoted u.
ouch.... i hope he did realise this, he seemed to think it was a fair cheap engine :)

Yeah, I did know this, and Im still in front of buying locally because I'm not just getting an engine..

Hmmm. Well in the process of my alarm installation we've found my car used to have a boost controller, turbo timer and some sort of temp gauge. Also my standard boost restrictor has been removed.

Now with that removed and a catback exhaust my installer seems to think I'd be running atleast 14psi and he says I'm risking detonation because my timing or something might not be right and that I should hook up a boost gauge to know exactly how much psi I'm running and he can make it so I don't run the risk of detonation.

Is he talking shit or should I be concerned?

Well I took the R out for a drive after work. No detonation what so ever and on the STD boost gauge it makes it all the way up to the second to last line. So I don't think that is 14psi. I think I still might chuck it on the dyno just to check my AFR settings.

I want a boost gauge.. But where the standard GTR cluster is. Anyone know of any? Or where others have mounted their boost gauges?

nismo 1 looks the goods but it reads boost in kg/cm2

I had the original aftermarket boost gauge bolted to the left hand side of the dash cluster which was not very regency friendly, and dog ugly.

Mounted this one and an oil pressure gauge where the clock used to be.

I want to try to keep it as STD or original as possible. Might try and get one of those Nismo clusters.. Don't really see much else out there

Edit: Yeh Dave.. Exactly what I'm looking for! How much that set you back? PM if need be.

Yeah I hate that too Dan. No point having two boost gauges! Just replace the standard with one that runs at PSI or BAR and is more accurate

Easier said than done, all 3 gauges in the centre are electronic based gauges which use the same circuitboard. It could be possible to replace the fascia with a psi or bar version however I've never seen one available for purchase. Most of the time people replace that 3 gauge cluster with either defi electric gauge 3 pack or 3x 52mm individual mechanical gauges

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.

      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.
