Just got the car a couple of weeks ago. At first it only seemed to make the sound when the car was cold, and as soon as i had reversed out the driveway it stopped. Now it seems to be making the sound whenever i push the clutch in and are changing between 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. Weirdest thing is that it doesn't make the sound all the time just sometimes. Theirs also a burning smell if you jump out the car after driving. As for describing the sound its like a dull squealing, not particularly loud or anything. Also sound stops when you engage a gear.

Anyway if you guys have any ideas at all or could just confirm that's it going to be something that's not too expensive to fix that would be awesome.

Sounds like your throwout bearing. Depends how bad the sound is, my old S13 used to have a noisy bearing but went away when it was warm . Take it to your mechanic, you may as well upgrade your clutch cos you would be looking at the same labour(just read Burning smell. is your clutch slipping)

I have the same sound too everytime my clutch is in, but the sound is worst especially on gear 2. I guess thats just the clutch burning a bit but anyways its good if you replace your clutch every year to ensure it wont burn aheheh

How long is a piece of string?

Noise will usually get worse and worse before the thing shits itself. If it's just a dull whine for now then you might be safe for a couple thousand km but realistically it can collapse anytime it pleases. Leave it too long and you might start damaging the hydraulic release.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
