Hey everyone,

Some of those or an actual replacement dash with white gauges? Because that's all i can find for R34's, the Nismo white face dash, but i'm not keen to spend $1000 on a dash and then not have the kms matching the car. I just want the white gauges lol

Have seen them before on an R34...trying to remember who's it was though... :)

It depends what you buy...if its just the plastic face of the gauge, you just take the speedo/tacho/etc needles off, new face on, needles back on and recalibrate it...if you swap the entire cluster, the odometer is an independent unit that can be swapped into the new cluster, or there easy ways or changing the odometer reading itself.

Ok so turns out i'm still on the hunt, the guy said he was unable to replicate them successfully because of the shape of the dials. Makes sense as to why none exist for 34's as of yet... Damn Nissan and their making the dials complicated :D

Haven't tried, why's that?

i want to make it look like this, either spraying it silver or making a insert for it. i know it wont be the exact same as the gtrs one if i spray it but it will look nicer i think

if you do open up your cluster can you tell me if its easy or not.

i was thinking about this the other day when i was staring at my cluster in traffic..

pretty sure its too hard to do because of the concave shape of the dial face :blink: its a no go, just go for some white led's, i have some blue leds in mine at the moment but there are some spots that are slightly brighter than others.. annoys me

anyone know of white dash leds that have a consistent level of illumination across the whole cluster?

Yeh that's why the guy couldn't replicate them. Bloody Nissan.

Awel, i might just go for the silver surround... Would look better with the white dials but what can you do. I've also got blue LED lights, white won't work because the dials have a blue coat on them that turns the white light into a pale blue. Did you get the lights off Dan (666Dan) on here? His kits are quite good

could be the crappy positioning of bulb holes at the back of the cluster seems like there needs to be at least 2-3 more holes to give more light. ive done a few colours on different cars and always same result.

Wouldnt mind new faces for the 2 clusters also, triple gauges on 34's are pretty old/boring looking. but instead of white i would prefer black maybe glossy but then could reflect too much light?

      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.

      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
