Hey all I have a real prob here and I am wondering if any of u guys have a solution or fix. I serviced my car over the weekend by myself, "Yeah Baby!" , quite proud of myself as I am not a car guy at all thank you skylines australia. Now heres the prob with tht nothings leaking everything went back on the right place but when i start her up and have here idle i can hear a chirping noise and it wasnt there b4 my self service plus its only there on idle and to about 1500 rpm. The oil i used was castrol syntec blend 10w 30 par synthetic and i put 4 quarts back in the car. I bought 5 quatrs but only put 4 back in. Now when i pull the dipstick to check the oil ,this is now many runs later, the oil is right above the L mark now b4 you guys say well u need more oil let me explain the dipstick has L then some scratch marks then the H mark and then the dipstick groove, now the oil is by the L but also when i look further up by the groove oil is there also but none by the H. Do I need more oil or is it another prob also I went to check and see if the speedlimitter wire was cut on my r33 gts-t and I found the wierdest thing. I knew I had a radar detector in the car before it was shipped but after i picked it up from the dock thieves had cut the wires to the detector and removed the adapter for the cigarette lighter ne way i had no idea where the wires ran so i left them alone. Now as I was going to check out my speedlimiter wire i noticed the strangest thing one of the wires were spliced to the cut wire from the radar detector splice via crimp cap now the speedlimiter wire wasnt cut just spliced with it does ne1 now for wht reason and how does this affect my car? Thanks.

First off, you need to wipe the dipstick before you actually read the oil level, ie, pull it out, wipe the oil off, replace it, and pull it out and read.

The oil higher up the dipstick is probably from splash, that's why you need to wipe first. Also, before you measure the level, make sure all the oil has drained back to the sump - leave the engine off for a few minutes to ensure all the oil drains back.

about the wires being spliced, were any other wires spliced? it may be that it has either had a speedcut defender on it (gets rid of the speed limiter), or if other wires have been spliced then it may have had a piggy back ecu on it.

Hey thanks 4 the reply and there were no other wires spliced just the 53 wire and it was spliced to wht looks like a radar detector will see if i can take a pic and post it.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
