Well my son inspired me to be strong like his dinasaur and hammer down and get the job done. The son of a gun runs and doesn’t burn oil! Yet lol will see how it lasts. 12 hours straight wasn’t to bad.

Well im glad i brought the head to the machine shop as the seals were not the issue, ended up being a poorly sealed valve guide in between the head and the guide, could see it with air and soapy water

Be super careful with green scotchbrite like that, GM explicitly says to never use that anywhere near an engine because they've had a ton of engine failures from the scotchbrite ending up in the engin

Awesome job! You sure don't muck around! 

Glad she's back in action banging out at 100 smiles per hour!

Welll I had everything I needed to get the job done and my wife’s support yet again to dial in,focus, I think I did everything right it was a blur. missed a couple things I had to go back for. Head gasket sealed I dropped the oil and coolant and checked out well minus all the shit in the coolant from my shinanigans trying to get the block surface right again. Next time I would of just used a gasket remover a little dull, and some acetone.

the worst part now is trying not to drive it lol.......what a fun unit i feel 100 times more alive than ever haha. i kind of forgot about how stunning they sound and feel, smooth power right to 8500rpm.  i made sure i did the break in proper, by that i mean raped it at 20 psi for the day, seems about right. i got 160psi hot on the compression test, i though my tester was broken ive never seen an rb over 145 psi lol.

      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.

      Tomei gasket

      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.
