I disconnected the yellow tube going to the boost control solenoid. The boost was raised and the car goes like a madman now. I wish to hook a boost guage to it but not sure where to connect it. Should i use one of the lines going to the soleniod? thanks

So this is on the car your selling?

Would suggest that the only thing preventing your engine/turbos from dying is the wastegate spring are probably lifting off.

Have you checked the A/F's , do you know what boost it was running after you took the hose off but before you caned it down the road, have you any idea what your doing.....

* shakes head in wonderment...*

Cheers

PS , put the hose back on, take the little restrictor out of the line ( the lump that will be at the little yellow band ) and reconnect the hose.

Put a Tee in the line going to the electronic boost solenoid which is the little black box at the rear rh side of the engine bay next to the brake booster. There is a vacuum line underneath it which will give a fairly accurate reading.

There are numerous articles in zoom and hpi regarding getting more horses out of a nissan gtr. Both magazines have detailed articles regarding this simple mod and the boys at croyden have discovered that this will safely raise boost to max of 15psi. So give me a break i do know what i am doing...

If the hose is disconnected as you've stated above, then you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. If, on the other hand, you've taken out the tiny boost restrictor and reattached the hose, then you're running about 1 bar but could possibly be more.

Do as Ken has said, you'll get a good reading from there.

      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
