Most useless invention EVAR!!!!  

Get a trolley jack... Probably wouldn't cost too much more than what Nissan wants for the missing handle...

wouldnt it be a bit of a inconvienience carrying a trolley jack every where u go.. ??

That's what NRMA Roadside Assistance is for... I'm paying it, might as well make use of it.

so if you have a flat tyre you're gonna call the NRMA to come fix it? you'll look like one of those guys who knows nothing about cars, who's parents bought them a sports car for their 18th birthday.

you do carry a spare with you right?

Do you really care that much what random passing-by drivers think of you? Are you that dependant on other people's opinion of you? I couldn't give a stuff.

I pay for NRMA Roadside Assistance, and I'm bloody well going to use it. They don't usually take more than half an hour to come, and if they say they will take longer, and I have a jack in the car, I might do it myself.

I change all four tyres and all brake pads to track rims and pads in about 40-45 minutes, so yes, I realise that I can probably change that flat in about 10 minutes flat, BUT........ I know how dirty I get doing it... My hands get FILTHY, and I need to use Solvol to get it off...

If I'm in a suit or about to go out, why should I do that to myself if I'm paying someone to do it?

It's like paying for insurance, but then panel beating your car yourself if you smash it. :D

OK so next time I have to wait an hour for the NRMA to come I know who to blame for the wait. Thanx Merli.

      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
