Ever come across some car on the net that made you uncontrollably giggle like a little school girl...?

I had that experience tonight at work. Was surfing along, quiet as at work... then BAM!w00t.gif

Rocky Auto S30 with dry carbon panels, a RB30D (yep, 3 litre, with a RB26 head, and 3 duel throat CARBS!)

Now, I've seen Rocky auto stuff featured before, but it hasn't done much for me in the past. Anyways, the car is currently FOR SALE for about 13 million JPY. So if any of you buggers picked up the new years lottery... buy this...NOW!thumbsup.gif

I mean, having to wait for one or two sets of lights.

Blows my commute out from 40 mins to 50 mins. Total bollocks.

Thats completely unreasonable. Id be writing letters if I were you.

1000km run-in service & dynotune on Friday.

Forged bottom end, ported head with Tomei cams, gt3076 highflow, S15 450cc injectors, chipped ecu + tuneable piggyback ---- what boost should I have it tuned to?

I believe the ATS Gt3076iw BB turbo losses efficiency around 21psi.

I'm thinking 18psi should be fine, allowing spikes to 20psi (if that happens).

Don't want to stress the engine tooooo much; might just settle for between 1.25-1.33bar I guess.

Ideally the tuner will just keep ramping it up until there is no return for the extra boost and then set it at the figure thats still giving benefit. Hope you get to keep the car although to be honest they are not cheap to run - I am spending $100 - $120 a week on petrol alone!

True. To keep costs down im thinking tho im best to say X-psi tune thanks. Yeh stuff it, I'll tell them tune between 1.25 & 1.3bar thanks very much, and go from there.

Most likely keeping it, biggest (only) worry is "suspicion of defect" by an over zealous Officer in which case id be reamed big time as I have stuff all stock parts & can't deal with the hassle of inspections while at Uni, associated costs, etc. Only been pulled over once in my ownership for a RBT but admittedly its on my mind a fair bit..... Just the What-If factor.

Dunno what system you have in your state but in NZ there is a Low Volume Vehicle Certificate with an inspection carried out by licensed inspectors (not the police). I just have to get driveshaft loops and then an inspection which costs $400 -$600 and then a certificate stating that all my mods are safe i.e. that the braking and suspension are suitable for (more than) the doubling of stock power, that the seats are properly secured in short that all non oem stuff is fit for the pupose. You also get a plate to go on the bulkhead and then just have to point out the plate and if necessary pull out the certificate if you ever get stopped by the cops.

Yep, we dont have anything like that. If the police pull you over they can send you to be inspected for suspicion of having modified the vehicle even if they know nothing. Read countless stories on SAU about guys having cops point out "Turbo timers" in their engine bays which are actually alarms, etc etc.

      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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      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
