Currently my R33 GTST is at the tuners again. They having trouble getting decent power out of the car. Curious to hear peoples thoughts.

Current modifications are;

Rebuilt motor & reco head 10,000kms ago

GTX3076R bolt on turbo, FMIC, intake.

Wolf 3D v4.

Full exhaust

044 fuel pump & nismo 740cc injectors

At 9 psi of boost it makes 190rwkw

At 16psi of boost its currently making 220rwkw and starts to detonate so they must modify the timing they said.

I thought it would be alot higher than this for that boost level?

Thanks.

what does full exhaust mean? those symptoms are bit like the exhaust is blocked, like a cat or a restrictor..

I think the 9psi to get 190kw is probably right, with 15psi i was getting 260kw so you should be around that..

what housing is it?

Now you mentioned that it reminded me of this -

Sounds like a similar thing.

Certainly sounds like just another case of butchered housings. If a GT series have issues with them, it's only going to be worse with a GTX given they are meant to make more power.

If it's not the housing

- Exhaust

- Timing belt is out a tooth possibly

Hey mate, have you got the detonation verified with headphones or is your tuner just running of the knock sensor?

Reason being, I used to get alot of noise which the knock sensor interpreted as detonation.

I'm also running a GTX3076r on my RB25 and make jsut a tad over 300rwkw on 21psi, so would expect yours to be around the 260rwkw mark like SIlverS2 said :)

Well if you runit on stock manifold as a bolt on turbo internally gated on that housing its not going to make lots of power. GTX3076 is ideal for external gate. Also I didn't see metail induction pipe in your mod list, you will need a 4inch metal induction pipe for that turbo.

Not sure of that turbodragon, I assume its with headhpones. Its a fairly reputable workshop and they do alot of RB25 work and work on VLs. I havent spoken with them today. Will ring them soon

Best to ask them and find out. Could save you a lotta time and cash if it was just phantom noises coming from the harmonic balancer or soemthing lol

Plenty run a 3" that just steps out to 4" @ the comp housing to get a hose around. In fact that's how most are done come to think of it given a Z32 isn't 4"

Yep, Z32s are only 3" so 3" intake pipe and a 3"-4" reducer at the comp housing inlet.

      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
