Nah I won't be sticking with standard cams. Either gunna put in tomei ones or thinking about sending my head off to Lewis engines and getting the ultimate race head package.

Yeh I'm still undecided on what I'm gunna do yet so just got it installed anyways. The engine won't be getting installed for awhile. Still have to buy asr race sump, nitto oil pump, Ross balancer, 6boost highmount manifold, plazmaman plenum before I install it.

f**k looks like plans have changed again. Got f**ked over with the bloke building my engine so gunna start buying parts for a RB26/30. Will be buying a new rb26 head off justjap and nitto Pistons and rods this weekend. Just have to find a decent RB30 series 2 block.

Basically the engine I was buying/getting built the bloke talked abit if shit about some of the details on the internals nd I clicked on nd seen some evidence of scratches/marks on the Pistons but thought it was just the camera angle nd light but turns out they came from a engine that lost oil nd seized up bad so that explains the marks. Plus seen a ad on eBay from him with for a damaged rb25/30 so that tipped me over the edge to what he was doing. Trying to make his money back he lost on the original engine. No big loss only lost my deposit.

Gunna buy the rips complete rb30 forged bottom end now nd then get a rb26 head built by Lewis engines.

Just purchased a turbo from Hypergear there new ATR45 sat external gate. Have to send of my manifold to havoc fabrications to get modified for the external gate and screamer. I've decided to get this thing ready and on the track asap then I will concentrate on the 26/30 build. Sending the car off this week to get the sunroof hole fixed then will be sent of to get all the parts installed and tuned by Trent and chequered tuning.

Just picked up my new Hypergear turbo ss2 external gate with v band. Next step I will be sending this off this week along with stock manifold to havoc fabrications to get modified to run external gate and also get a screamer pipe, dump pipe and decat made up as well.

Dropped the car off at havoc fabrications tonight. Can't wait to pick it up once it's all done. Might be getting some extra work done while it's there. Door cards and maybe even getting a front splitter made up as well.

Yeh abe done so work on my daily and I was very pleased with his work quality. Stoked I've finally got someone to help me finish off the car to how I want it. I'm also keen to see what power it all make as well. Hopefully I can get close to the 350rwkw mark on e85. I'm ditching the power fc and upgrading to the Haltech platinum pro and getting Trent from chequered tuning to tune it.

    • 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.
