Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!  With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at For

Clean and up in the air. Final bits of work required to hit the track in November.

Wow. Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread. It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovation

Car looks tops Russ and good work on the shakedowns :thumbsup:

Man that wing is high! I look forward to seeing it in person and good luck with the whole WTA thing.

Thanks Ant.

Well shakedown 2 didn't go too well. Only got 2 sessions in at PI on saturday.

After first session we noticed that the turbo to manifold gasket is leaking.

After session 2 I had to stop as coolant was pouring out from the front of the head. We suspect it will be a welsh plug. Blew coolant through the bay and over the windscreen while going round hayshed! ;)

On the upside it is good to find these things now rather than at Superlap. Bit more work to do.

On the list is.

1. fix above problems

2. New greddy intercooler so we can have more power

3. New rear subframe as the one in it now is cracking around the mounting points :O

4. New hardrace camber arms front and rear and traction arms.

5. AO50's and alignment at traction tyres.

6. Screamer pipe.

so yeah.. Bit to do in the next few weeks!

Wow how did the subframe crack?

Give us a yell if ya need a hand getting it ready :thumbsup:

Running semi's for 5 years on a subframe that had crap welds. Looks like it had been repaired poorly in the past. It actually cracked right next to the weld.

It's been repaired by Mat but a whole new subframe would be a good idea.

very nice build cant wait to see this thing in action at WTA

Thanks mate.

stick a s14 or 15 subframe one in as tey fixed the rear roll center :) (with offset solid bushes)

I haven't heard of that? Please elaborate... Is it a straight bolt in? Diff, hicas, arms?

they dont fix the rear sub frame they dial out the anti squat which r32 and s13s have to much of. some of the circuit r32s have done it down here with measurable gains. aprox 1 sec a lap on a 60sec track.

you could also use a r33-r34 subframe. its not just a bolt in between them thoe. the diff mounting is the biggest problem. hicas and all arms are the same the only difference being the lower control arm mounts to the subframe differently.

if you have a look in the last few pages of my build thread i think there is some good info on it. if not i have a ton of pics of the differences between the differnt subframes that will show you what i mean.

Cool. I'll stick with what I know for now but might be something to look at in the future.

You know Newton runs an R34 rear sub-frame in Big Red right Russ?

Yeah I did hear that. I'll have to ask him details about it. Won't be doing anything like that yet. That means new diff etc...

Thanks guys.

We did some work at the workshop today. 12 solid hours.

Found the problem welsh plug that came out. What are the chances! Random thing to happen! So we replaced a heap of others to be safe.

Found the exhaust leak. Pretty damn obvious! manifold will be getting machined so it doesn't happen again.

Other things... Front camber arms have gone in. They are Hardrace via just jap. Seem to be good things.

      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)

      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.
