All,

Iv bought the V Spec2, R34 Pedal set and I am having trouble installing the clutch and brake pedals. Given the originals are rubber they are easily "rolled" onto the pedal assembly however given the new pedals are aluminium they are not as easy to install. Any Tips?

Secondly,

Is anyone aware of the Part No. required for the bushes required to fit V Spec 2 R34 Pedals onto V Spec Model?

Thanks :)

I installed mine a week or 2 ago, it was absolutely pain in the ass to install the brake and clutch pedals.

It took me about an hour to get them both fitted.... lol

At the end, I just used a heat gun to heat up the rubber on the back, to make it a bit softer, then quickly try and stretch it around the pedals. Might take a few goes but it will work.

As for the bushes, I have a bush from the accelerator pedal that I don't need for my GTT.

Ha Ha! Thought I might of been doing something wrong! Lost skin on my finger tips trying to get these on! I'll try the heat gun!

Mate if thats the only part required can you please PM me a price incl postage to 4122.

Is the Accelerator pedal hard to install? it doesn't look hard just from looking at the pedal, but looks can be deceiving, what would i need to take off in order to install the accelerator pedal?

Thanks :)

^ If you have a GTT, you need to trim off some of the pedal (after you remove the old plastic cover of course). I took about 10mm off the top left edge and files it down, painted it and then the GTR pedal cover went on nicely. There must be a difference between BNR and ER 34 accell pedal's.

hmmm I cant remember specifically installing the footrest but I do know that the accellerator was the hardest part for me, thats in a r33gtst...

I would of thought 34gtr would be easy considering its made for that car...

It's a poofter of a job doing the clutch and brake pedals...

I sweated and huffed and puffed and cursed and cried a little inside before mine were on.

My fingers felt like I'd smacked them with a hammer for 5 minutes straight after it.

A good looking simple upgrade though!

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.

      don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.

      Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.

      yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
