Hi kinda new here but not new when it comes to skylines or nissan's

I though I share some info on above issue and contribute positively to the site.

Came across few R34 with above issue. Factory boost gauge droping out and not reading. sometimes come to life but only to die again.

I have pinpointed it to the Boost Sensor. The one bolted to strut tower in front of the brake booster.

Chased few days for replacement. Brand new cost u don't want to know. Wreck yards / Importers I contacted and had these items wanted $150 for it. bit expensive.

So decided to see what make it tick (kinda typical of me as i'm electronics design technician) as I suspected a intermittent problem with the sensor.

Luckily the R34 boost sensor can be dismantled revealing some what very shonky soldering job.

Had quite a few dry joints. Once reworked I've tested the sensor and no surprise to me it worked fine. 1 week and still not a glitch.

It is fine electronics so care needs to be taken and decent tools to be used if attempting to DIY..

So if anyone has an issue with these PM me ill help out. don't be silly paying $150 for second hand unit that will most probably crap itself.

if someone has a faulty one send it to me and I write up DIY repair and post it here with pics and u get one free repair.

      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.

      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
