So what forum was that all posted on?

I've never seen such threads here stating such things.

Everyone knows 10-12psi MAX for long turbo life. Run more boost, expect it to die due to the ceramic rear wheel.

Compressor wheel makes no difference, simple as that really. Would have just been cheaper to produce. Wasn't a performance decision.

I ran 14psi on my stock turbo, but that's because I didn't intend on owning it for long. Upgraded the turbo after about 3 months. Never had an issue, but I wouldn't run that much boost and expect it to last for ever.

Ive seen it on a few threads from overseas. But apparently not true. So just out of curiosity why would u swap a 33 turbo onto a 20 when factory wastegate is set at 10 and they happily run at 11-12 ? Not having a dig just asking.

Paul is right, i own a S1 33 and its alloy, Also i agree with the above comment about it being cost effecient to make the S2 nylon. Also i agree with Hanaldo, 10psi through two different turbos is not the same, one will flow better then the other to some extent, more psi does not mean more power.

    • 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.
    • 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.
