Hey guys, I'm wondering if someone can hook me up with a cheap ebc for a 95 r33 gtst. I don't want to do the boost earth mod, just after a controller to run 9psi on stock turbo. Thanks Chris.

Nah, you pull out the boost solenoid, replace the old actuator with the RB20 actuator, block the hose going to the BOV return pipe and drive away with 10psi.

Yes. Leave the RB25 Actuator and boost Solenoid in and Earth the solenoid for 7psi or do my Trick and run 2 solenoids in parallel and get 9-10psi.

It's in the Boost Mod Thread... But why don't you want to do the Boost Mod? It's good, safe and it works all for Free.

Great u know yr stuff, if I choose to earth out the solenoid is this reversible and if I choose to eventually get a ebc will I encounter problems because I have cut the wire?

Wires can be reconnected. That particular wire will not affect anything else in any way, shape or form. ;)

Just do it.

I have done the solenoid Earth, 2 solenoids Earthed and the Actuator. Each was better than the previous.

Also RB20 actuators on mates cars. It's easy as. But the Earthing is Free. Have a crack at it.

You will not regret it.

other than, it will give you a hunger for more of that "untapped power potential"...

Please let us know how it turns out.

Don't forget, you don't have to "Cut" the wire, just strip back some of the plastic insulation and tap a wire into it there, then Earth it.

Do it to the Solenoid not the loom.

Simples. :D

Hi mate, completed the mod, went for a drive and wow, 1st has wheel spin now and 2nd feels more punch down low. Great little mod. I think I need some new coil packs as I have more hesitation in the higher revs now but works a treat. Or I need to regap the plugs as they are 1.1, boost is fun :]

Excellent, Gap them to 0.8mm and see how it goes. (Yes Boost IS Fun. :woot:)

Hey rob, i'm still curious as to what difference there is with earthing the solenoid compared to bypassing it completely.?

Earthing it is 7psi all the time, Bypassing it you will get Actuator pressure only.

(5psi stock) or as you (and I) have done, 10psi.

If for some silly reason you had the R32 actuator and the solenoid earthed and connected, you would get 12psi and it would be crap because of the ECU freaking out due to Too Much Boost / Air.

If either of you bought an SAFC and had that tuned, you would be amazed how much more power you get. :whistling:

(even though in the scheme of things it's not very much compared to the big boys 20psi+ etc.)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
