Glad to hear.

Killabeez, check your pm. Yes S13 rear is available.

Musky, the choice for upgrading the rear or not is totally up to you. I had front slotted on my old R33 Gtst and std rear as well. No problems.

Could I please get a quote for Front slotted + Rear slotted rotors and Green EBC pads all round for a R34 GTT? Ship to Adelaide. Thanks.

gday mate

um ive got an r34 gtt

wondering how much all up to get Grooved Dimpled on the front and standard slotted on the back both with pads will be sent to adelaide, 5108

if you go to My Controls, upper RH corner, then on the left sidebar go to Board Settings, make sure the "Disable Personal Messenger" section is set to No.

Setting it to Yes will disable your personal messenger.

if still doesn't work, email me: rsoputro at hotmail dot com

(replace the obvious words above with the proper symbols, you know the drill - spam prevention)

i'll send you a quote soon.

Hey bud, after current pricing on front slotted; and for both plain and slotted for rear rotors. To suit R33 GTS-t. Delivery to 4108.

Cheers

Hi, is there anyone online who can tell me in the next 5 minutes how the hell to get the rear rotors off an R34GTT? Otherwise I am taking to it with a slegehammer. I assume the handbrake assembly is inside the top hat and I somehow have to undo that? Please help ASAP. I have the car in 1,000,000 pieces right now and want to get it back together.

release handbrake. handbrake drums might be pressing the inner drum of the rotors, making it too tight to remove.

it can get sticky, from all those age old rust and dirt and grime get stuck in between. use rubber mallet. sledgehammer is a bit extreme... :-)

Yeah I released the handbrake. So there are definitely no other nuts/bolts to remove once the brake caliper is off? Just bash the bit of the disk you can see? Trouble is with the shield around it there is not much room to swing or hit.

Damn - might jack it up as high as it will go and get some leverage on the mallet. Thanks! It doesn't seem to have much movement at all - I take it it will gradually loosen up and come off?

Well I have just finished putting it all back together.

In the end I gave up on the getting the rear rotors off - making the necessary noise at 11pm seems like a bad idea in my neighbourhood.

So, today I did:

- Fitted front RDA slotted/passivated rotors

- Fitted front QFM HPX pads

- Fitted front and rear ADR compliant braided brake lines

- Flushed entire brake system with Motul Dot5 and refilled/bled

- Painted all calipers gold

Phew - 9.5 hours all up.

The result is below

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
