hi there,

im from NZ and happened to come across your site and find it really interesting that you all know this much stuff. Now im a noob at this but im looking at dropping my 98 R34 with King lows and putting a set of 19" Eurohart C Form from Racing Hart on it. they are 9 on the back with 275x35.19" tyres and 8 on the front with 235x35.19".....you guys know ur stuff so do u think this would be ok? any problems that i may find, im in the process of doing it up now it has a C West wing at the mo and when i get the wheels and springs i think i will then look later on at maybe a bomex body kit.

What do you think?

btw: you guys have harsh rules but man your rides are phat :)

are you sure 19" could fit? over the weekend i had to do a suspension check since petrolium jelly started to ooze out of the front right suspension arm joint..eek :rofl: however since the wheel was off ithought i might try and see if the old supra 20" rims would fit, stud pattern is the same however the wheel would of never have fit with the nissan suspension strut coming out and over the wheel with only about an inch clearence with the old stock 17" wheel. I beleived that 18" was as high as you could go......am i wrong?

It doesn't like going over 1 bar because the stock turbo should not be boosting anywhere near that level. It is absolutely at its maximum efficiency at 12psi. You should lower the boost to 12psi and you will find you will make the same power, smoother and no more boost/fuel cuts.

Hey RyanN yeah, they seemed aiight to me, i had them on this morning but not lowered and it seemed to be ok, the guy at the mag shop hasn't said it wouldn't work with that set up, he was the one that suggested it so i hope it will be fine :rant: else i will have to look at some 18's if i must cause i want it lower...but couldn't i just take that plastic stuff thats inside the wheels arches out aswell or is it best left on?

as for your advice on boost NJR thanx man, it seems to like it at 12 so i think ill leave it there, with my new wheels on anyway i doubt im gonna want to burn much rubber hahaha

i got a pic with them on for u 2 look at and give me an opinion if you like on what you reckon....the 3rd pic is sumthing i put on to see if bling was the thing, so let me know if u like them

      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
