Hey when i bought my car it had a slight rattle sound coming from underneath.. The rattle sound would only come on if my foot wasnt on the gas it sounds like a rock hitting something or a bit of metal knocking against something. After a month of having my car I was nearrly involved in a acident which caused me mount a curb to miss this car. Lucky no cosmetic damage was done but it made a big Boom when i hit the curb..(I hit the front tyre and yer did a sorta bunny hop over it).. I pulled over to check if any damage and yer none as i said.. then i start driving and i notice after a few minutes that the rattle sound was gone.. I WAS LIKE WOOOPP WOOOP.. then just today ive hit a curb by being a fkn idiot having my seet all the way down and driving gangsta styles lol.. And now the rattle has come back to haunt me.. If anyone would be able to help me with this curb ball :P its doing my head in already .. makes me not want to drive my car :P and i love driving !!! HELP PLZZZ

Is it coming from the cat area? Sometimes the welds break inside the pipe and you get bits of metal caught in the cat that rattles like a mofo, better or worse depending on gas flow. The other option is to get it up on stands and just take a look.

Let us know how you go.

i mounted an island once because some old man with a stupid acubra hat didnt keep his lane,,,,, I used to get a grinding sound when i put the car in reverse or when i dropped the gear without accelterating, it sounded like stone grinding..... anyway lifted it up and it was a piece of mettal that got bent and was rubbing on the rear axle, i just bent it out of the way..... cant remeber if the metal was from one of the exhaust mounts or an axle guard...

anyway it would be something simple like that

      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
