Nah, no ones allowed into the workshop unless they are escorting you to show you something wrong with your car. Which, come to think of it, I spend most of my time in the workshop than sitting down chatting to Amanda :|

One good thing about Gavin's and his mechanics is they like to show you things so you are aware of problems or what things do. When my car had the power problem, he showed me the consult machine to show me what was going on. I kinda understood it, but not really. I learn lots of things when I go down there :D

Its going to be a good 350-400km round trip for me, mines up for a 100,000 service, however allot of the stuff is already done, like...

- Plat plugs

- Timing belt only

- Diff oil

- Trans oil

- Rad flush

- Brake fluid flush

- Fuel filter

- Engine oil & filter

I'll give them a call but can anyone give me a heads up on what else there is?

Do they do...

- Other belts?

- Injector clean?

- Compression test?

Ta for any info!

haha man thats crazy!!! Sounds like an awesome car. I was at Gavin's today im getting him to install my FMIC and tune my s-afc. He's heaps busy lately i have to wait 2 weeks as hes all booked out! I feel like such a tight ass when i go there because everyone else spends mega $$ on shit for their cars. He's still nice to me though even though he knows im poor :)

Dont feel like a tight arse. Every time that I go down there, I only get a service and I've been going there for nearly 2 years :rolleyes: I don't have the money at the moment to get anything done. Your lucky your getting a FMIC.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend less than spend more :) But that's just me!

Did he give you a price range as to what it costs to do the tuning and install of those two items?? How long does it take as well? A whole day?

Lucky man! I wish I had a pfc and an avcr :rolleyes:

      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.
