hey guys,

sorry if this in the wrong section please move if so.

But i was wondering if i could turbo my NA R33 ? I was thinking of buying an RB25det taking the turbo manifold off and bolting it onto mine or just do a full engine swap. i'm on my red Ps' in QLD and wanted to ask this question befoer going out and paying for a exemption application.

thanks

Sell car and buy turbo version. Cheaper, smarter, better but if you really want to turbo your na you can or put an ls1 in it. I'm sure others will come along to give u some good advice.

thanks for the quick reply, i don't really wanna sell my first car that i bought but i wouldn't mind a turbo either, my friends told me buying an RB25det second hand and using the motor as a spare isn't a bad idea but neither is spending a lot of money.

Svn,

Honestly, these threads get created often and the answer to the question is to just sell your NA and buy a GTST.

You will save loads of time and money, they can be had for very cheap these days.

Lots of the time the people asking the question still think its a good idea just to pull the engine out and put a RB25DET in it.

But then you have to think about other parts on your car which do not suit the turbo or are not up to spec eg. Brakes.

Just learn to drive right now, there is a reason why you aren't allowed to drive a turbo car.

Once you get off your P plates, go spend the money on a nice GTST, GTR or GTT

      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.
