guys as I am sure most of you are aware I got an FMIC and have been fitting it over the past couple of days. Everything’s all good with it however the new piping doesn’t come with that little nipple thing (this is the n00b part).

On the stock IC piping I have a bit of rubber piping running to my bleed valve to determine how much air to bleed out etc however the new piping doesn’t have the little nipple thing to attach it too. Can I just take this piping to any metal/exhaust place and get them to make it up also as an alternative I am sure that me and dad could weld one onto it but were do I actually get the nippily thing.

PS: I am aware I have said nipple alot don’t get to aroused people. :boobs:

Leech i had the same issue a week or 2 ago. Just buy a brass nipple from autopro and either bolt it or weld it into the IC return pipe.

have a look at mine as i am sure it doesnt have one either but i have a bleed valve.  Come to trivia

ahhhh what time you going to be out their as you must have somewhere a line that runs to your bleed valve from the ic piping otherwise how does it know how much PSI is going through. i have shit to do tonight but i might be able to pop out for like 30 minutes to have a squiz

Yeah you definately need it, it runs (via your bleed valve) to the boost control solenoid/wastegate actuator...mine does anyway.

yea thats exactly what i thought without that wont it just majorly overboost ??? as it will have no idea how much boost it will be running.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
