:D First off I live in America...California to be exact, and when graduated in '05 I set off on my mission to get my old VG30 taken out of my Z for the infamous RB26. Well, a year and a few months later my dream had become true but unsuccessful. True because I got the swap done but about an hr. and a half after picking up my car from (Garage Works Ltd.) the business in Palmdale Ca. that did the swap for me I blew a head gasket due to overboosting (detonation). Well, worst part about it is that the money I used to do it was my college money and I figured I would have a running car so I could just work 2 pay for my classes...Yup, I am working, and going to school ...but no car. Basically I am asking for N E 1's help, whoever is willing. This swap was a dream come true 2 me that ended up turning into a nightmare...my parents don't even want me putting anymore money into the car but I think about it EVERYDAY!! (since '06)...it's '08. If there is N E thing N E one could do to help me it would be greatly appreciated, more than ever will be known. Even an idea of how to get it worked on, I just really hate having to look at my car sitting on the side of my dad's house. If someone does decide to try and help me my e-mail is ([email protected]) and I do have pics of my car how it is now if someone wanted to see proof before helping, and I do know what is wrong and needed.

Thanx Very Much

Mike

Hoping your not asking for cash, everyone works just as hard for their money as you do, and nothing in life is free.

But anyway as was already said why dont you take the head off and check whats wrong? Your not using the car anyway so it's not going to hurt if you start taking parts off.

Or even easier, sell the car and buy a sh!tter.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      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?
