After 3 engine failures I am finally back on the street with a Skyline - at last.

The R33 GTR is going again, with it's 3rd (& hopefully final engine build)

After the last fiasco just before the last 4,6&rotor nats in Feb (when we made 480rwkw then cracked the block on the friday before the meeting) the street GTR is up & running again.

This time the R33 has a brand new N1 block, new aries forged pistions, smaller 272 HKS cams (the 288 step pro cams from the race GTR are going into a 3 litre that Mark from Rhemac Motors is building for his GTR) & a conservative run in tune

at 1 bar. Tim has tuned the motec at Tilbrooks (who did an excellent job of getting the car ready) & the GTR currently has 375 rwkw (500hp).

The only other change is the gearbox, which is now an OS Giken Sequential 6 speed. This box has bigger dogs then the Holinger & should take the pounding of street use better than the finely tuned Holinger box(which is staying in the race GTR)

I have only started running in the GTR over the last week & hopefully will have it sorted ready for the skyline cruise later this month.

Hey my Dad used to be the engine builder at Rhemac Motors :D.. he retired about 12 months ago after 20+ years there :D.

The OS engine is still in the race GTR (which will hopefully be ready before the 4,6&rotor Nats/ & Drag Combat). Yes I did try a PPG box for a little while.

I am testing out the OS 6 speed because I like the sequential changes (& the extra gear)

It sometimes does'nt grab the next gear if not shifted firmly enough - will have to keep practicing.

The power curve is OK for now - is still pretty conservative(I want to get some use out of this engine - not blow it sky high like the previous setup.)

I thought I'd seen the beast tucked away at work a few times lately John. It inspired me to bring mine out for the daily commute a bit more mate! Congrats on being back on the road. Feels good doesn't it?

Tim is a damn fine tuner and I have no doubt that this motor will hold together over the long term. A little less power is much better than another failure! And more money/time.

I'm toying with the idea of going for a bigger turbo on my thing... not sure exactly what yet but 'nicely' into the 300+rwkw region would be the aim. See what happens I guess.

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
