How exactly you go through DFT? Somebody stuffed up installing a strut on my car - they cross threaded the bolt, so the strut sat at an angle, and has now damaged the strut top... they reckon a bearing failed under the strut, and the thread's strippin from the bottom... either way, if turns out to be their fault.. i aint sure how to go about makin 'em pay for the mistake.

1) You can ask a local solicitor to send them a warning, which can lead to a quicker result!

Thanks for that. I've had another mechanic look at the problem:

the gronks installed the strut tops upside down, so they were sitting at an angle and fu(king up...

And now they wanna tell me bout how it shoulda been brought to them to be looked at... after i'd taken it there and they tried to tell me it was a bearing failure, they'd need it back to pull it apart... which was bullshit, so i took it elsewhere to get looked at.... and now discovered this... am pissed off to say the least.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      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.
