Hey guys, finally got my car running tonight.. after 7 months off the road it feels so good to be back behind the wheel :D anyway most of the engine stuff has gone pretty well... everything seems normal as far as i can tell so far.. im having trouble with the power steering pump, it doesnt seem to want to suck up any of the power steering fluid from the reservoir, all the fluid was completely drained when it was all apart and the pump is new from a 2nd hand gtr.. ill give it another go tomorrow and do a bit of forum searching.. the main problem im having is i had to lower the k frame about 15 mm to clear the dump pipe, which has thrown my steering geometry out.. would a wheel alignment possible fix this? when i get the car running properly i do plan to take it to get the dump pipe modified so the k frame can be moved back to its original height.

Cheers for any info

got the power steering pump working.. it just wasnt wanting to drain the resorvoir into the pump, a good 30 mins of turning the steering wheel backwards and forth while the car was off fixed it, sorted out the wobble as well =]

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      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.
