yes you are missing the snorkel off that airbox...your engine is not going to blow up from not having it but, if you are running a standard airbox it is better to have it, unless your feeding in cold air from elsewhere.i think it would cause a smaal drop in power and fuel economy, but cant confir that. im sure nissan would have some reason for putting it on though :thumbsup:

Whoever attacked your engine bay with a spray can needs to be SHOT lol

But yea, if you have a standard airbox then your feeding your induction hot air instead of cold, get a snorkel :thumbsup:

Lol, same thing happened to me one day. Looked in someone elses engine bay, looked back at mine, fk missing piece.

They're damn cheap, I bought mine for $40 plus delivery.

Turbo and non turbo airboxes are different!!!! And they certainly aren't worth $230. The parts for sale forum on here usually has heaps of useful bits and pieces, and if there aren't any snorkels on there, there will be soon.

Sucks about the engine bay paint, hope the seller knocked some of the price off to apologise!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
