Photos aren't helpful. Is there a tag in the core? It has an eBay vibe about it

Better not be a ebay, or I swear to god.

At this point this car is just driving my head in

Looks like an older Garret unit to me. Is it also written the AR on the compressor housing? (Ex: .070ar) If so, you should find the word garret on the turbine housing somewhere.

Your manifold looks like an ebay special though...

Hopefully its a garret even if its old. But yeah I bought the car for its low kms but not realising how badly it was

Core will have a plate, post up ALL the info on that plate here.

If there's no plate, potential an eBay turbo and/or a Hypergear turbo as well. The latter isn't so bad, they're decent, however I've rarely seen Tao use those rear housings.

Also that turbo is clocked way too much, I suspect you might have a bit of smoke on boost - even looking at the limited photos supplied you can see oil mist all over the power steering reservoir and surround areas.

How could I go about winding it down?

Undo the bolts on the turbine housing and compressor housing that hold the core in place and rotate it.  Then your oil drain will be pressing against the exhaust manifold, so will have to sort that out.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
