Think carefully about why you want to change to a FFP before you do. I can tell you now, they don't make working on the car easier. They make it a hell of a lot harder. Spark plugs are one thing, getting in and around the engine bay is another, and oil filter changes are a right pain in the ass.

That said, I love my Plazmaman. Just recommend thinking about it, if you're doing it to make life easier then I don't recommend it.

Yeah what Hanald said...i almost put me on my car till I realized how shitty it was going to make working under it...theres a starter motor oil filter and a lot of pipes under there and luckily none of them usually go wrong ...but if they do you are in for a world of hurt

Main thing that sparked the idea was the damage to my current one. If I replace with another second hand one of the same age its only a matter of time before something similar happens so thought I might as well replace with something brand new and neat looking. The only work I really do on the car engine wise is the service.

what is the damage?

The top rad hose connection has rusted away and isnt clamping properly. I have also searched a simple fix for this problem, asked questions in similar topic threads and come up with nothing.

Even if it has to come off for repair, may aswell replace with something completely new.

this for sure, underneath is a nightmare

If you want to use a front facing plenum but are worried about oil filter changes being difficult maybe think about using a relocation kit for the oil filter? I didn't find changing the oil filter hard at all with my Greddy plenum. Aswell as installing my oil cooler n relo kit on the ground.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
