hey guys

last week i realised i was running 2 bov's, one is standard and 1 is a hks. who ever installed it before i got the car didnt block the stock one. can this damage the turbo at all?

sometimes i find the car will stall (once every few days) and i hear alot of talk about atmo bov's are useless. i wasnt sure if running 2 can do that

Nothing to worry about. It won't damage anything.

Either block of the stocker or take out the HKS unit though as they will more than likely be opening at different pressures and doing funny things. Easiest is to just make a blanking plate for the stocker that sits underneth the bov. That way it looks stock if you ever get pulled over for an inspection.

You can run two if you want. Works great if you have a atmo BOV, help with the stalling issue. What I used to do was place a small blanking plate over the stock BOV position bit drill a little hole in it. About 2cm in diameter. And wallah. Your stock BOV will take care of the low boost and stalling issues and your aftermarket BOV will take car of th majority of the boost release.

      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.
