When swapping the actuator off my R33 yesterday, I popped off the c clip that hold the actuator arm in place and I bloody lost it!! I know I'm a d!ck..... Is this an issue/do I need it? When I put the other actuator on and bolted it in place, it didn't seem like the actuator arm could come off by itself anyway. Any advice/info?

Cheers,

Don't stress too much mate - worst case scenario for the meantime until you replace it is that the actuator arm comes off the wastegate arm (since no clip to hold it there) and your wastegate just freely opens causing you to pretty well not make any boost. Absolutely no chance of doing any damage to anything in this case.

The wastegate arm is on a 45 o angle on the LHS which is as far as it goes. I've tried pulling up the actuator arm but it's not budging more than 2 or 3mm anyway so I don't think the whole arm would come off just by itself in day to day traffic.

Will put on the replacement clips when they arrive but thanks to all for the info. :)

      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
