So I had a nasty clunk, bottoming out and rattle from my front left of the car.

Took it down to pedders and got a 28 point inspection, they said it was the glange nut and tightened it with a metal bar (free) this fixed it but it'll probably come lose again (want $140 to take it out and tighten it). Now I've got a track day coming up in about 3 weeks and there was a few other things that were busted.

He reckons my ball joints are worn, however I took the wheels off and went crazy trying to move them around and couldn't get them to budge, so I'm a bit hesitant.

The radius bushes are worn and the rear sway bar link rubbers are worn (clunk a little). How major is this stuff (def getting the nut fixed up), he seemed to reckon fairly so but of course its his obligation to say so. Recommendations?

Pricing they wanted for everything.

Tighten glange nut $140

ball joints x2 $80-120

rear sway bar rubbers $50-60

bump stops (front were mangled and missing) $87

radius bushes $40-90

what on earth is a glange nut?

anyway....looks like they're asking 450 to replace about 1/3 of your bushes with standard rubber stuff.

If you are interested in track work I reckon you should bit the bullet, spend twice as much and do everything in noltec or whiteline bushes. handling will be out of sight better.

I can't see anything dangerous on that list

Cause its not tight, apparently you cant get to it without taking it out, so they just smacked it with a metal bar or something, I dont really know what Im talking about thats just what they said,

Who would you recommend going to then.

      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)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
