Hey all I just put a new front\dump on my r33 and when i put her back on the ground the engine aint turning over.

When i turn the key i can hear what i beleive to be the starter motor goin click click click (really fast) Now she has never had any problem starting so has shown no signs of a weak starter...

The dump pipe install took me say 3-4 hours in which time the radio was on.. could it be not enough power in the battery to engage the starter motor properally? I would have thought that if there was not enough juice it would just crank to motor real lazy or something.?

Its got me f&*'d cause all i touched was the dump pipe...

Any ideas?

could just be your battery terminals, take of the terminals just get a steel brush and run it over the neg and pos terminals on the battery to clean them. then put them back on, tighten them, make sure there is no movement and try start it, sounds as if its not making contact properly. if it was flat it would click slowly.

if you decide to go through the hassle of removing the battery from the boot...

it might pay to check that there is enough water inside to cover the electrodes by taking the caps of and shinning a torch down there. if they need topping up, go and buy some distilled water because normal water will stuff it.

      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
