Hi, just bought an R34 GTT and ive got about 3 months before i can legally drive it so first thing im gonna do while its off the road is have a good look around and replace some shiz.

I know its got a good service history in the past and it was last serviced about 10,000 ago.

I intend on doing the oil n oil filter (putting a 7.5w30 oil in) the engine bay and other fluids are very clean n no leaks but im wondering what else you guys think i should look for or replace? I'm gonna check the spark plugs see if they need replacing as well as cleaning the air filter. I'm used to normal servicing on cars but i want to be thorough with this car. I also have a couple hoses im going to replace as they are hard or deteriorating. But any other suggestions? Its at 150km which i know is pretty high and thats another reason for the thoroughness of this particular check.

Congrats on the new car. I would change the spark plugs no matter what, tire pressure, battery, fuel filter, oil, oil filter. Just go over the whole car.

oil,filter,spark plugs,air filter,fuel filter

make sure u gap them plugs right

has the timing belt been done?

^^^ +1 including timing belt/tensioners if history is sketchy.

Whilst changing plugs, check looms/coils for hardness/burn-scorch marks.

Change all coolant fluid if it's still got Japanese H2O inside.

Start your log book if you haven't got one.

PM me if you want details of the Nissan Servicing Schedule in English (official UK version)

I definatly would get oils done asap. then filters and sparks plugs.

Also, i always buy new wiper blades when i get a car. No one ever seems to replace the crusty rubbers.

Best $7 you will ever spend for those wet days.

    • 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
