have a R34 GTR fitted with a complete exhaust including the "Y" or engine pipe but stock dump pipes. My question is do the aftermarket fabricated dumppipes (such as HKS etc)you can purchase replicate the factory cast dumps exactly? That is will they bolt straight in and attach to the exhaust I have without muffler shop mods to the engine pipe?? What is involved in fitting dumps to a GTR? Big job?? Should I wait and change the turbos at the same time?? Thanks in advance for your replies. regards Andrew

Will 17" rims fit over the brakes on an R34 GTR? I'm after a spare set of wheels to put on the car for wheel alignments etc or maybe with some race tyres fitted. I've just had the standard rims (18") repaired/repainted and don't want to knock them about. Can anyone recommend some cheap rims I could purchase to replace the stockers for wheel alignments etc? regards Andrew

Hello SA, My pads are Ferodo DS2500's. I actually fitted them to try and solve some squeal issues with the pads that were fitted when I bought the car - they made it worse not better! I've used the RB74's on my previous WRX and they were noisy when hot but more of a quiet grinding noise rather than an ear-piercing squeal - much easier to live with than the current situation. regards Andrew

Thanks for your reply Mark, Nice to know that I'm not alone with this problem. I keep an eye on the Subaru STI forums and the Ferodo DS2500 is the pad of choice for a lot of them it seems, but squeal problems like GTR's seeem to suffer from isn't common from what I can work out?? The GTR callipers are definitely different which must add to the problem. regards Andrew

I have an R34 fitted with the "gold" Brembo front calipers, slotted/drilled aftermarket (Japanese) front discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads. My problem is chronic brake squeal when the pads/rotors are warm and at low speeds/pedal pressures - it sounds like a bus!! Other than the noise the brakes are awesome. The car doesn't have any anti-squeal shims fitted to the front calipers/pads but I have tried some tar based adhesive tape on the backs of the pads and also anti-squeal paste with no change in the noise. I have also gone over the front discs with emery paper with no change. After talking through my problem with Howard from Race Brakes his thoughts are that it is due to the performance nature of the caliper design and the pads. Is this the case with anyone else with the R33 and R34 GTR's (they are the same pad and I assume similar callipers) fitted with Brembos and performance pads? Would anyone have a spare set of anti-squeal shims for the front Brembo callipers I could aquire? Failing that a description of what they look like and picture would assist me in making some - they aren't available as a spare part from Nissan and I have no idea what they look like. Any thoughts about the next step in fixing my problem? It's the only real downer in a great car. I didn't really want to replace the discs, particularly if it doesn't fix the problem. Any assistance greatly appreciated. regards Andrew

Front view showing bumper extension: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/at...achmentid=10563 Somehow I have managed to stuff up attaching this one. regards Andrew

Attached picture may help in describing what I am looking for as far as the brake duct (I need the RH one though):

Glass or carbon would both be fine. Let me know how much when you have done them and we can do business. regards Andrew

Thanks for your post YLWGTR2, I will take a picture and post if I can. My car has one of these ducts fitted to the left hand side where it seems to be missing on the right (its a non-V spec R34 GTR). It covers the back of the vent in the bumper extension and actually directs the air through it in two directions - one at the brakes and one at the actual tyre. On the right hand side you can see daylight though the vent so I assume the duct behind it is missing. I can see the bolt holes in the bumper extension where it would bolt on the RH side also. Does you know if a V-Spec undertray will fit on the non-V-spec front bar? Thanks for your help. regards Andrew

I'd be interested in one for an R34 GTR if you can get them as well. regards Andrew

I'm after a right hand front brake duct (black plastic which fits behind lower ducts in front spoiler), lower front spoiler lip and a V-spec undertray to suit an R34 GTR. I'm also after a set or even odd R34 GTR wheels. Would anyone have these lying about or recommend where I might pick them up? Post, PM me or email: [email protected] thanks Andrew
