Yeah maybe take it to a tuner and let them check the air to fuel ratios just to make sure.

My stock computer was running 13 psi and never blew a head gasket. Stock tune with stock or close to stock boost shouldn't cause an issue at all.

Wear and tear could be a factor maybe the the person before you gave the car a thrashing

Could have had a hard life like alot of skylines, but strangely enough my bottom end looked really good, and the fact that the head had never been taken off the car or touched before was also a good sign :)

Was thinking of picking up some shell helix hx7 to rum through the car before filling with motul, should be fine running cheaper stuff for that purpose yeah?

Its $20~ odd at super cheap ;) wonder if anybody actually runs that oil ...

I have done it before just to give it a good clean out. Run some shit oil for 100km or so and just don't thrash it at all. Dump that and top up with quality stuff

Right now I have been running penrite 10/30 or 15/30 for about $50 per 5L and the car likes it.

I just change it about every 3-4 thousand ks

Going in for a tune tomorrow, I've got -7s on it.

Still hearing some hissing, horrible noise is gone so was the timing belt. Oil is staying clean.

Just gotta find this vacuum leak. Any pointers or common leak areas?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      Tomei gasket

      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.
