Congratulaions on your purchase.  

Let me know when you get your zorst fitted. Interested in cost and performance increase.  

Hey rich, where abouts northside you live? I'm up near Morayfield area. Would be good to see another sedan.

My drive is a 2001 R34GTX-T Sedan.

Hi Mate,

Only just got the email about replies to this thread...

I'm @ Chermside West and the GTT should be put on the ship sometime this week.

Aiming to have it on the road in April.

Looks like theres a few GTT's in Brisbane now. Hope we don't become as common as the 33's.

Bob Jones thats why I only said that I have *heard* good things about Bliss and Drift King, guess I might avoid them now all the same and stick with Beddhams. Anyway, the only personal experience has been with Beedhams and it was a good one.

About inductions sounds... I only had a K&N panel filter in stock box and also used to get a good induction sound in the GTST although my GTR had pods and it was definately more noticeable.

Managed to get some good tyres for compliance this time too, learnt from last time when they put Falken ZE326's on - a loathsome tyre esp in wet. Got some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's for $225 a corner. Looking foward to seeing how the GTT corners, apparently better than the GTST's.

Go the sedan action!

I can vouch for the definate handling increase with new tyres and Upgraded suspension. I went down the path of Bilstein shocks and Whiteline springs. Also mixed in with some other Whiteline suspension bits. All I can say is it feels like it's on rails now.

I'm sure as hell keen for it, maybe we can organise something for next saturday? Meet up and have dinner somewhere, then make the trip to BWCP to show off some uniformed R34 action :) If enough of you are keen I'd be happy to lay down some details, feel free to PM interest/suggestions.

On another note, mythr33 and I compared notes between his R33 GTST and my R34 GTT tonight, the 34 certainly has a big advantage in the handling, lots less body roll, better suspension etc etc, felt as though his boost came on a bit stronger then mine though, mostly likely due to him having a much more adequete exhaust :P I'm certainly going to have to look into doing some work soon!

Metropol would be perfect for me and the upper carpark should have sufficient room.

I agree that it should not be R34's exclusively but we should co-ordinate once there for some cool photo opportunities.

I'm in for BWCP next week at this stage

Yeah, mine has some generic brand one (it does the job) but make sure u don't get the "not for use on forced induction vehicles" one that sells for $40.

As for the installation, it should be pretty straight forward but you may want to look at the CAI boxes available on these forums.  For about $120, u get a nice enclosure for the pod that incorporates parts of the factory airbox.  These allow the advantages of the pod minus most of the hot engine bay air.

If only the previous owner didnt throw out my original airbox...

Also check the hoses that return to the airbox.  There are two small hoses (diameter wise) in my engine bay that have been blocked cos I think they used to go to the airbox so you may need to do some blocking yourself.

But a guarantee, you will hear the turbo spool up (from a distance too) and the factory recirc valve will sound loud.

umm what hoses have been blocked in ur engine bay?? there are no hoses going to the standard air-box,, not on mine there isn't.. mind taking a pic of it? could be hoses to your boost solenoid or the black fuel canister thingy at the front .. :confused:

Firefrog,, i have a HKS mushroom filter with the AFM adapter for sale,, just doesn't have the green foam ,,

I'm in for the meet up for sure,,, keen to get a group/cruise happening on a regular basis aye.,,,

who here has msn?? please add me

I think I need a little credit for helping you fit the gear here...... :wassup:

CREDIT, You deserve all the credit. You pretty much fitted the lot by yourself. I was just the stooge who handed you the tools.

I'm keen for the meet even though I am from Northside. Might even be able to convince jlnewton to come?? Need the exact address as I'm not from around there.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
