Hey matt, the pistons did have to machined to clear the oil squirters.... which should have already been done. Took extra time having to be machined and re-balanced. Know that they are in all my worries have gone. There is absolutely no piston slap when cold, my catch can has almost no oil since the first start-up and now I`ve travelled 2200km's. I did a compression test and found dead even across the lot. Only slight hick up was a oil leak which turned out to be coming from the half moon seal at the rear of the valve cover.

I removed the pistons with the block still in the car. Very easy for anyone wondering.

9krpm - not sure about getting special prices on other OS pistons, but Matt got the pistons from a guy we found on Ebay. He'd bought them (they were still brand new in box) and then no longer needed to use them so sold them off.

Might just pay to check out a few of the performance part websites and see what prices everyone has to offer - we did that and they do vary a fair bit ;)

9k, Yes the main reason I went for the OS pistons was from what I have learnt regarding piston expansion under temp. The pistons I bought were of the low silicon type (OS sell both types). I can't remember the exact number of grade. They were $2700 compared to $1800 for the lower grade. I can confirm they indeed have absolutely no piston slap when cold. As I said to Matt(whatshisname) they had to be modifed and then rebalanced to allow clearance for the oil squirters, glad I didn't pay full price.

Been down to Unique Autosports. They have seen 330rwkw with the standard injectors and an Adjustable Fuel reg. Funny how people do things totally different from state to state. In SA I was told not to bother as anything over 260rwkw is not achievable with a fuel reg. Hopefully it will be tuned for Uniques next track day =) Yip Yar

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
