It's not hard at all.. especially if you have a hoist to give you plenty of room to maneuver, and all the other professional tools that a workshop should have. I'm a complete amateur and I could do it in around 5 at the most.

did mine in 3 plus machining flywheel too

I actually do them in 2 hrs if the other guy I work with machines the flywheel while I clean the box up.

GTS4 and Series 1 32 GTR's take an extra 10 minutes because of the extra shaft to remove.

Series 2 and up are a little more tricky because of the pull type setup they have but it isn't much more difficult if you've done it before.

I'd say the workshop that did it didn't know it was a pull type and had major issues removing the box. Still, they are wankers for chargin you for their incompetence. If you had a GTIR pulsar I'd say they did you a favour by only charging 11 but a 33 GTR should be no more than 4.

I did my first R33 gts clutch on the floor of my garage with one jack and low car stands - it took less time than that and we struggled with bugger-all tools and took hours to get the top bolt off.

I would've asked the workshop where their hidden cameras were....Thats a joke. Please post here which workshop it was.

NOTICE: You're not defaming them - simply quoting what they said the bill was.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
