I have blown 2, one was the driver's side clamp had gradually become looser and the pipe came out, once i got it back in & tightened them they were fine. The 2nd was last week, but this was the one from the turbo that was a real bastard to get back in. Got it back in and since then the car has decided it wants to boost up to 14 or 15psi*, changing the mbc has no effect either so I'm wondering what the hell is going on. My car is at the workshop all day tomorrow for some finsihing off work & heatproofing, and one of the things is the boost control function of the wolf so hopefully everything will sort itself!

* While this sounds good, if I held it, maybe it will go higher than that, but my engine is standard & the bulk power from the turbo would make it go "pop". 13psi is in my sig, but I run 12 to make sure everything stays alive.

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
