G'day All!!!

I am a new member and a soon to be proud skyline owner. I have read many threads on the site but I have not come across something I wish to know.

Can you visibly tell if a turbo has been hi-flowed.

If I can buy a car with this done already it would be great but I would also have peace of mind if I could make sure it has been.

My knowledge of the performance of skylines is limited to the fact that they go hard fast and sound and look even better!!

My thirst for this knowledge knows no boundarys so wet my palate please.

ok first of all i love yah picture has a lot of style , and too your question about features of a hi-flowed turbo ........ LAGGY AS F*#K!, hehe well from past experience they tend to be laggier than the bigger ones , but visual looks ok from the out side you usually tend too see a manufacturers name on the commpressor side of the turbo EG= XTR.

ok other than that its all internals ok you will find that the compressor side of the turbo ( or the induction side ) the mouth of this side will be very thin like about 2 mill think not thick at all .... std there round about 4 mill thick ok you will visually see the machine marks along the throught of the compressor side , this will be the only way too tell if its been hi flowed , well if you wanna take the turbo off and check out the exaust side well there will be a faair bit of the out let taken out too and maby even a bigger actuator valve and shutter. anyway if u want more info just ring up GCG turbo chargers they will give you the run down on what differences there are but ive given u most of them .......

      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
