Hello everyone i'm finally back from my long holiday closedeyes.gif

So here is a bit of an update on my build thread.

Over the last couple of months I have bought.

Tomei Type B valve springs and retainers

Garrett 2860-5's turbine housing both ceramic coated

Nitto H-Beam Rods

Turbo Braided Oil and Water Lines

Radiator Hoses.

1.1mm oil restrictor

Tomei Extreme Dumps

HKS Front Pipes

All my engine covers and exhaust manifolds back from Craved Coatings (Thanks Chris Awesome work!!!!! thumbsup.gif)

Twin turbo pipe also has splitter in it too.

As for the block and head it is still currently getting machined and serviced

I still have a few more things that need to be purchased still and I'm hoping my car is back on the road around march??

The covers are not purple just appear in the photos like that lol.

Here are some photos of the gear.

Hey Nick :)

Reusing his HKS cams, 264deg 8.8mm lift. Told him a higher lift would help torque but that would be more $$$ again...

They do sound like the tomei 260deg poncams I had in my 32GTR at idle though :D

Just picked up the block and crank from the machinist.

Building will start soon!!

First pic is the block on the honing machine, the torque plate is still attatched to the top of the block.

The ports got a bit of a clean up, removing steps in the radius etc, and that was about it. I didn't remove the 'humps' in the exhaust ports, just my choice :D .

Just to prove I ain't ripping off web pics, my ugly mug lol. Putting grubscrews into crank, loctited in to be sure.

Crank getting fitted and measured up for bearing clearances 0.0015"-0.002" from memory, thrust 0.011". Girdle torqued up, and you can just see the 3 long studs that have been shortened to clear sump and driveshaft tube. 55FT-LB.

Pistons and rods getting some attention. Piston rings clocked as per service manual.

Fitting the piston and rod into the bore. Rod bolts, I tightened them using a bolt stretch gauge on the 3rd cycle. 0.0055" stretch.

Today piston to deck height will be measured and if all good it'll all be put together permanently.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
