DON't go to TTF Dandy..... I can guarantee at the very least they'll snap your wheel studs off... (Nissan wheel studs snap easily, especially with a heavy-handed rattle gun that they will use no matter what you tell them). They are shocking - scratching rims, not knowing how to balance tyres.

My mate bought rims & tyres from them unknowingly, ended up with around 85 grams worth of weights just on one corner... Still wasn't right, took it somewhere else and that tyre ended up with a single 10g weight on it to make it perfect.....

yeah dun go ttf

im stupid and went there to change my rear tyres

after they fitted it the rear right wheel was making a clicking sound when i was cornering hard

had to take it back to them

and i was also stupid enough to go to them for wheel alignment

biggest waste of 65 bucks ever

i told them to check and fix the camber on the rear wheels

they didnt even align the rear wheels, they told me they cant do it cos its 4ws after the alignment

and they didnt even do a good job, the alignment is prolli worser now, my steering wheel i in worse position than before

man and they dun have guarantee on their alignments

gay!

never going there to get anything put on

ill jus buy their tyres and take it somewhere else to put on

and yeah inasnt the beaurepaires there near ttf

are they good? will they fix my camber?

you will be surprised of how many doggy tire places there are out their......When I had my old car I had just finsihed getting 4 new wheels with balance as well. The very next morning I was due to get Gas put in my car. The guy that was fitting the gas needed to take my rear tire off to put a gas pipe in and he couldnt get the nuts loose....Fu...ing air guns the tire place used isnt quite user friendly.

If you look at them from their point of view, the air guns they use make life alot easier for them. Now every time I get new wheels or a balance, I dont get in done unless I am allowed to be in the workshop watching....

(health and safety my ass) I keep a safe distance so I can see whats realy going on.

(Goodyear tire and Auto Service) Is where I got mine done last, Are they still around???

I won't let any asshole near my car with a rattle gun!

I would rather use a jack and wheelbrace in the carpark! and roll the tyres in and say you scratch it i'll have your nuts!!! :rolleyes:

SERIOUSLY!!!

    • 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...
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
