i spoke to Al the otehr day about this, after i start my car and the engine fires i hear this crunching noise for a couple seconds, he told me its the stater motor getting dirty or something, if this is what it is should i worry and get it fixed asap or jut get it lookedat next service ? and what's required, is it easy enough to do myself ? worth just cleaning or should i replace the whole hog ?

cheers

Starter motors are expensive. The only issue I've had with a starter motor in the past was sometimes it would crunch/grind instead of kick over (this was on a Mini). Eventually started doing it more and more until I couldn't get it to kick over at all.

When I pulled it out, it was full of scungy grease. I cleaned it all out and it put it back in and it was then fine. Might want to just pull it out and give it a clean, see if that helps. I'm not sure if your symptoms are the same as mine though.

its the drive on ur starter motor , it doesnt retract as soon as u let the key go , cleaning and grease may fix it .

it maybe worn bush though ( the little bush at the end near the drive , change that and it should fix the prob .

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.

      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.
