Yup, will be doing a fuel pump... but not a 2nd hand unit (the workshop talked me out of that, with good reasoning such as "if the GTR had it replaced, ask yourself why"). Probably grab a Bosch 040 or 044.

Oil cooler will definately happen, once I go to MV Autos for the 'shift kit' acctuator valve body. That'll happen soon enough....

The GTR had it replaced because they were going for more hp than it could handle. There's nothing wrong with second hand GTR pumps, particularly later model ones.

There's nothing wrong with the bosch pumps you mentioned either - just cost more.

Ive searched out prices for forum members of $230 for an 040 pump, or $300 for the 044 pump. Is that expensive for a new upgraded fuel pump? I would have thought a 2nd hand GTR pump would be close to the $200 mark......

Id be happier to pay $230 for a brand new Bosch 040 pump, that'll be fine for my projected 4wheel power output, and would be good for another 80000kms. But then again, if anyone here has a good R33 GTR series 2 fuel pump for sale, drop me a PM.

If heat is the cause of turbo failure, what will using E85 as a fuel enable the stock turbos to boost to?

E85 burns hundreds of degrees cooler which means surely the turbo would be running at a lower temperature, ie capable of higher boost levels.

Anyone tried this?

lol i love this topic

i got my r34 gtt 4door manual about 3 weeks ago and the first thing i did was go on ebay looking for a boost controller,

but one of my friends said in stead of booting your standard turbo first up maybe look at the big three. SUCK BANG BLOW, so instead of buying a boost controller and boosing it im going to get the air going into the motor cooler (fmic) the spark stronger (better coils and spark plug) and get her farting better (split 3" dump pipe and hi flo cat) after i do all that and by then ill be use to the normal 5/7psi then i might up the boost,

but thanks to this thread i might consider changeing the oil cooler as well cooler oil means cooler turbo means safer to run,

    • 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.
    • 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.
