If its a streeter I would avoid shinny stuff, Ive painted my cam covers-IC pipes-filter enclosure and catch can with a matte black VHT crinkle type finish paint, looks good and almost stockish, also gave my front mount a coat of flat black for the :P effect.

If you go all shinny its more likely that it could get defected, to the police shinny usually means modified which equals defect.

^^^ hahaha.. yes officer.. these do come standard with a highmount manifold..

+1, use as much black spray can as you want but it wont hide a highmount haha

also i wouldnt spray paint the fins of a intercooler if you want the stealth black should buy one that is ceramic coated as the paint restricts it from dissipating heat and holds it in.

My high mount has had the OK from the RTA inspection stations on 3 occasions and the whole car will be enginnered when the new motor goes in, only thing that needs changing is the catch can vent which vents to atmosphere, also if you ceramic coat the I/C it will trap the heat inside and not act as a heat soak, a light coat of paint to the outside is far superior as it will still let the heat excape from the I/C (heat sink), this is also why you paint a plenum and not use a ceramic coating.

You are allowed to do lots of mods to your car as long as you follow the details given by the RTA for modifications and if it outside of the guidelines all you need to do is build it properly so you can get it legaly enginnered.

i went with a foward facing plenum boys should be her tomorrow or wednesday! the reason why i got it so quick is that my fuel rail wouldnt fit with the standard inlet manifold.

    • 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 😍.
    • 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
