Hey Skyline brethren! Here's another little video DIY tutorial put together by the boo and I. This one's for changing the power steering fluid. It's not a full system flush but just something which can be done as maintenance.

We're moving up in the world and now have a backyard production company doing the vids - Small Fry Productions. Those who have seen our previous vid would know our Site Manager. She's hooked us up with her film company - Roaring Dog Films.

Enjoy!

I've just heard the opinion that removing the power steering fluid as described in my DIY is harmful to the power steering pump because the pump is lubricated with the power steering fluid and that by running the car to remove the fluid will damage the pump. What are other people's thoughts on this?

tsk tsk..:nyaanyaa:. You cant run a power steering pump dry as it will damage the steering rack.

You need to remove the oil return line and drain the oil whilst at the same time topping up with new fluid. This allows for the pump to never be dry.

      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)

      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.
