I have pulled my motor out to install some 6Boost Manifolds. I have found some issue's, most expected.

-OEM water and boost hard pipes that run beside the rocker cover don't fit

-OEM twin turbo pipe doesn't fit. I have a hard pipe kit here and will update you all if it works

-Manifolds aren't even. 4mm out. If I hold one up and then tighten I can get it down to 2mm. Not to bad but I hope my Front pipe fits ok

-Both manifolds just foul on the head. I will have to grind the head tabs down as I also need the clearance for heat wrap

There is no doubt these will make more power with better spool over my stainless items. I will be on the dyno to confirm

Diameter wise - whats the internal of the pipe?

Just thinking if it's actually larger, will it hinder perhaps due to lower velocity etc?

The runners are certainly longer ye?

Be interesting to see results. Certainly a pain RE: OEM piping/lines, but given the length of the runners that would be unavoidable regardless

The OD is ~42.5 same as my stainless mani's

The also are ~1.7times longer

Any gain will be amplified at my power levels so we should be able to see and get a accurate % for others to make a eductated decision if the install hastle and cost is worth the effort

Indeed, will be good to see.

1.7x longer is interesting.

Dyno might not show difference when loaded up in terms of response, you'll have to get some seat of pants action going :D

Pics of old manifold by chance?

Wow didn't even know these existed. Can I ask:

1) Any dummy fitment done to see how these clear the strut towers etc?

2) the collector pipe - does it not fit by a little or is it just a completely different thing? ie is the hard pipe setup roughly similar in configuration to the OEM stuff, just some minor changes, or totally different? Just wondering if it's achievable for the DIYer (most of my inlet is now custom).

3) sorry if it's mentioned elsewhere, but what are the turbos?

4) is it intended that the mounting position of the turbos would enable the OEM y-pipe to connect up to the dumps? Or is completely different setup required?

1. clearance to the strut towers not an issue

2. No chance of fitting the twin turbo pipe. The hard pipe kit I have routes differently to the OEM..away from the rocker cover

3. GTRS

4. Front pipe is meant to be a direct fitment

You will need to modify your aftermarket 'twin turbo' pipe. The rear will foul the front manifold.

Front pipe will bolt in, no dramas there.

I had an issue with the stock rear o2 sensor fouling. That may have been due to the aftermarket dump pipes though.

Cheers,

Johno

how do you get 4mm out? if so your front pipe will be 4mm out to... in wghat dimention are they 4mm differant?

The turbo flange level (height) when mounted is 4mm different. One is higher than the other.

Update

I have ground about 2mm off my head tabs, now has enough clearance for the manifolds with heat wrap.

The manifold flanges are also threaded, why I don't know. They will have to drilled out to allow the turbo studs to poke through.

I have ordered some black braided stainless line and AN fittings for the water lines. I have also found a -6AN To 3/8 barb to join at the back of the Plenum. I will post up my order list soon.

      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
