yer i found a leak...

The bracket for the heat sheild makes the contact between the dump and turbo realy uneaven...

I have exhaust wrap over the dump. My question is can i go without the heatsheild? does it realy block that much heat? I can just mount the wires up a bit higher near the abs, will they melt or anything?

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

do you know a way of mounting the heat shield without using the bracket that goes between the dump and turbo... Cuz it doesnt do up any tighter and there is still a gap cuz its uneven.. I just put it togethor then without the shield and i was just going to put exhaust wrap over the connection and wires that come from the top of the dump... But if it makes a big difference i would like to put the shield back on....I dont know how to mount it tho.... + i polished it last night :D

If I read you correctly, you've stuck the heat shield bracket BETWEEN the turbo and the dump. Right?

It goes OUTSIDE the flange ie dump mounts up to turbo, and bracket sits on dump, then put bolts thru bracket and dump into turbo.

The wire / connection is the O2 sensor.

Nope. The knock sensors are on the inlet side of the block underneath the inlet manifold.

The sensor in the top of your dump pipe is the O2 sensor...

Can't help with the mounting sorry :D

in the attached image.. the green ones are the bolts that i have done up tight.. the 2 red ones i cant do up cuz there is no room to tighten them cus the spanner or whatever else i use hits the dump and cant be turned... how could i tighten these up? I cant feel any air or hear any leak from it...

ok image didnt upload... I have the four outside ones done.. The other 2 are impossible to get to.

I havent realy tested it out yet.. i have only gone to .4bar.. Should i turn boost down or anything like that first... i only have a bleed running .8 atm... this was before the pipe/cat was put on... Should i be listing to anything while i am testing it?

thanks

      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.
