^^^^^ what he said only time you replace a turbo is if it broken or you want more power if you want the cheapest way to make a little more power and want the stock look i would get it hiflowed if you want to do that option speak to stao at hypergear but keep in mind you do this you WILL need aftermarket ecu and possibly larger injectors for the ecu i recommend a nistune if your on a budget

if you dont want any more power just leave it as is and keep going

no need to replace what isnt dead

ive got the stock turbo on my gtst

i got it with 58,000 on the clock and its now got 236,000

its had 12psi since around 89,000 and still hooks up well

so they are reliable if treated well and serviced

Sorry viewing from an iPhone and just assumed Gtr

fair enough lol

if i rebuild id get more performance and i guess the turbo would be in better condition..or maybe recondition, i just scared tht it mite blow if i dont do something now

There isnt really a point to rebuilding the stock turbo, there is no direct replacement Steel turbine wheel avaliable for them.

So in effect high flowing is all you can do...someone might be able to do it cheap, using a GT28 rear wheel and leaving your standard compressor wheel.

I doubt it will blow if you look after it. Keep boost under 10psi and keep up regular oil changes and all should be sweet.

      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
