Hey Guys,

Got a bad issue... on the way to work today I noticed a really bad knock sound coming from my car, I could even feel it thru the floor.

Over about 40km/h, it gets faster with speed, not revs.

e.g. in 2nd at 2500rpm it is louder than it is at 4000rpm in 1st.

Its auto, stuck it in neutral, revs dropped to idle and the sound continued, so atleast *hopefully* sure its not the engine.

So a knocking sound somewhere between back of the gbox to the diff.

Could it be not enough oil in the diff? or something else?

well dont i feel like a d!ckhead, front right wheel, 1 nut missing, two i could undo with my fingers and the other two were pretty loose... scary.

atleast wasnt as bad as my bro a few years back, put 2 nuts on a wheel of his gemini, forgot to tighten them up, nd the wheel came off on a corner.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
