If I am reading this right, you know its not to good for the turbo to block off the BOV??

You may already know this, but just thought I would check...

The amount of stress it actually puts on your turbo is well over rated.

Why do VL's run fine with out the bov? Answer me that

they would run well for a while, but that doesnt mean it there is no long term effect.

VL engines are old technology. if bovs werent needed then they wouldnt have put them on new cars.

Exatly what I was thinking...

You can't say that it is all fine because VL's don't have them, cause if it was all fine they wouldn't of introduced them to new cars...

It won't make your turbo shit itself overnight, but it does increase the shaft play of the turbo... Think about it, the turbo is spinning one way, you clutch, air has nowhere to go but back through the turbo the oppisite way to its spinning...... that can't be good.

Anyways not here to argue about it, I am sure everyone has their own opinion on it, and I am no expert. Just letting you know if you hadn't thought of it, which obviously you had.... so I withdraw my 2 cents worth :rofl:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
