Snapped the little adapter on my front turbo yesterday trying to bolt on a new twin turbo pipe. Ive glued it back together using epoxy but not sure if itll hold given the temps the compressor outlet might reach.

Anyone have a spare they want to offload or know where I can get a replacement (fleabay doesnt have), or anyone think the epoxy would hold? Im booked in for a retune next week but dont want any issues on the day :S

that's a whole lot of wrong going on up there....

The part would be available new or secondhand... new, try Kudos Motorsport... 2nd hand, try any import wrecker.

... funnily enough, gaskets are available too.

STOP USING FKN GASKET MAKER GOOP AND POXY FKN GLUE!!!

or sell your GTR cheap to someone who will appreciate it.

Cheers

the pics above only show the goo, I was however using it with the gasket (the stuff smudged everywhere when I was pulling off the pipe).

dont think silicone is heat resistant enough to withstand the temps the turbo outlet would experience

I hope that the silicone you used was oxygen sensor safe stuff.

The other thing is......a gasket on those surfaces would not likely need ANY sealant, and if I was to use sealant I wouldn't use silicone. There are many proper gasket selants out there, all of them 100x better than silicone.

Exactly, I hate using silicone sealant with gaskets so I use some different products that are much better and safe for oxygen sensors.

There is silicone products that is heat resistant up to almost 300 degrees which is plenty but in my opinion there are better sealants out there with much less mess.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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.

      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.
