Hi Puppey,

thanks for your help.

Yes, actually I m doing a similar thing as you did.

But just I dont really like that chrome led tail light, so decide to reuse the original red plastic cover. (cover the chromy)

However it is pretty hard to pull the lense off, (both the led's cover and the stockies' cover)

I believe r32 and r33 should be more or less the same.

So how did you do that?

Hi Lovic,

Oohhhh i see what u mean now. sorry i misunderstood ur question b4. :) that i have no idea how to do so sorry :) ... dunno if that's possible with r32.

initially i thought i had to do that (for r32) before i took the whole tail light off the panel (pls someone correct me if i'm wrong), but apparently i didn't have to open the red plastic cover.

so all i had to do was simply taking the original tail light assembly off the cover, and replacing it with the led light assembly. put windscreen sealant (i used it since it doesn't harden) and screw the light (cover and assembly) back to the car again.

do you reckon i understand you correctly? ;) ...

Hi Puppey,

That's ok, thanks.

Hi 75coupe,

You reckon over method is ok? there is no silicone or something similar sticky stuff to be heated up.

There was white sticky stuff on mine and I used the oven to soften it up and then slowly worked the red lenses off...

      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.

      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
