Is torque also an issue???  (its a question do not flame me)

Hi daveo, horsepower is torque multiplied by rpm. So the amount of torque is not really an issue, more where abouts in the power band it is. The problem with a 260 rwkw RB20 (more than enough to run 120 mph in an R32 GTST) is to do with how high in the rpm range the max torque is developed and for how long the max is available. This makes them very difficult to get off the line and hard to keep in power during the necessary gearchanges.

Hope that helps:cheers:

MattR's car when owned by Japanese Motorsport ran a 11.3 with a RB25, TDO6 20G, Subzero plenum, stock internals in a GTS4 shell with GTR rear diff and obviously in 2wd. Made 301rwkw on tilbrooks dyno.

It wasnt a 20G, and from what i have been told the thing was running on jungle juice and slicks to get that time:)

Not saying anything wrong with that or trying to take away from the car/owner, just making sure its put in the right context:thumbsup:

    • 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.
    • 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.
