Hi all, i've recently notice on late model R34GTR, they all have this little vent seem to sit on top of the turbos. Nissan has never had vents on their cars before havn't they?

Anyone know what's the purpose of this? It doesn't look like an air escape vent neither intake vent!!!

Also anyone has a close up pic, under the bonnet pic?

I can assure its not an aftermarket item its a stock Nissan item that all series 2 V-specs have . Try another dealer , one that deals with imports .

Alright, i've been on the phone with some of Nissan dealers for the last 2 hours :lol: , friday thing, dont' feel like working lol. Anyway, no one was able to find the article for the vent EVEN THOUGH it shown on their pdf sheet that there is a square HOLE on the bonnet!!!!

To be able to dig in further, i'll need a chassic number of an R34GTR. Well its' not that important, i'm just curious thats all. Garry Roger Nissan has been very helpfull, Also found part number for R32GTR Thermal switch (2159573L05) and cost $115+gst still they don't know what temp range it will activate the fan.

managed to get it working and yep its a trap for the shit that falls through the hole....Factory bonnets are painted and the quality is quite poo...you can still see the woven mesh throught the paint...they tape up the vent hole before painting them thats why it looks like a separate part.....Do you want one of these vents?I could hack one out of an old panel if you like

no.....its on the carbon bonnets only and its moulded into the bonnet......not a seprate parts

It is only on the c/f factory fitted bonnets ( all V-SpecII's have them ) but i'm fairly sure it comes off . Its not even painted the same colour as the bonnet .

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
