theres heaps of good second hand ones out there but you'd have to either trust the person your buying it from or know what your looking for when you look at it, not a hard thing for a mechanic to change over an hour 2 tops but thats a stretch

Hi mate, just wondering re pedders telling you that you need a new steering rack. Do you notice anything wrong with your car?

Such as heavy steering compared to other skylines?

my steering feels normal but i need 2 top up d power steering oil every week or so?

They most likely noticed one of the internal seals was leaking. Make sure the rack boots aren't broken and as long as its not pissing out dont bother replacing it just yet. You can get your one rebuilt. That would probably be the cheapest way. Just call around to p/s shops for a price. If you buy 2nd hand its most likely going to fail in the near future too. Not much point in replacing something old with something just as old. If it were me i would rebuild mine if infact its actually necessary. Keep in mind they are suspension people at pedders and will probably try to up-sell it to you.

      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
