Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

The evo guys love their turbos!

Pretty much all of the examples are from an evo

Well there are a few showing on RB's now and from the PM's i have been getting it looks like we will have plenty more results coming soon ;)

The turbo change made my car a different beast, i hope the others get the same positive results!

It is tempting. Ideally I would copy Mat's setup to a tee (apart from all that boring ass black! :laugh: ), but the funds are an issue :(

Haha stop picking on my black mr Bower Bird :O haha

It's all about having the flashiest tail feather my friend! :P

Good thing about the arms, make sure they do it properly this time! Pretty poor effort last time, hard to believe they thought that was good enough to give back to you.

They are actually well used on GTRs, and Porsches in twin turbo form too... a huge percentage of the 8s GTRs running around run these turbos :)

I get my spares shop to do it for me, the dude is probably about 70 and it comes out pretty good for $15 a side.

I'm quite shocked a big name place did a shet job..

I was thinking a decent shop would do a good job for me so paid to have it done... Kind of regret it now :/

Yeah but those GTR's are also big $$$ R35's if i am correct? :P

How can someone even f**k up a bush install like that? It's not like the press comes down quickly. You'd have to either completely not be paying attention or see that you've f**ked up, not care and keep going anyway :S

I would guess its the second one mate! Its certainly shit quality work!

I have no choice but to get them pressed in further and just run them as is, the main part of the bush will be fine its just shitty that it was done so poorly in the first place!

I have had pretty good dealings through most of the build except for the assclowns at Bl@cktrack, and now this!

I have not had time to update this thread and wont have time to do a proper update for a couple of weeks, but just so you know the suspension issue was sorted and the car was thrown back together... We test drove it down the street and found a nice spot for a couple of pics -

Not bad for a quick clean and random pic location!

I DID make the SAU NSW track day just in time, but i had some silly little gremlins... The car felt great when it was going and i can see it being a hell of a lot of fun once i fix some issues with it... The Cruiser towed it easily -

Passed Scrutineering no worries -

The day was good but i couldnt get more than a couple of laps in, by the time the tyres were warm enough the engine bay seemed to be the same and goodbye silicon hose... At first it blew the cooler pipes off which was no big deal but after that it upgraded to blowing the silicon hose open -

I ran down to Plazmaman and grabbed another one and tried again, same deal... No good!

Such a silly little issue to have but it basically called the day over and done with... In saying that i got to go out and have a great time with a great bunch of SAU members!

I will get proper alloy piping done (Which honestly should have been done from the start) and get back into it.... It has caused a Vac leak of some form which i now also have to find.

This is just a quick video of the passenger session with Carmen in the car -

      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

      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
