Hi Guys,

Hopefully an easy one, I've just picked up my car from the crash repairer and amongst other things wrong the rear bar is different. In the pic the right bar is my original one on a 1996 M Spec R33 gtst, on the right is what the crash shop has put on. You can see around the exhaust is clearly different as well as the shaping of the bump.

Does anyone know what this new rear bar could be off? a non m-spec maybe?

You can see the exhaust cut out is larger on the original bar, also the styling is slightly different.

I've had a quick glance at others driving around and the new bar certainly is different, however I'd like to know what model it is from so I have a better leg to stand on.

hrmm from the pics look the same could be different when you see it in person. As far as I was aware the only difference with the r33 rear bars was if you have the model with sideskirts they have additional rear pods on the rear bar but I thought the actual rear bar was the same.

Perhaps a pic that includes a bit more...

Cutout around the exhaust on the original bar (left) appears to be over all larger & rounder, certainly taller, on the new one (right) you can see the bar is practically sitting on my exhaust due to this smaller cut out, less clearance all around. 

Maybe I'm being a bit pedantic :(  I'll try and park it next to a few other 33's to compare I guess.

i think due to the damaged bar deforming after impact it looks different but its most probably the exact same style bar.

Could very well be, unfortunately I don't seem to have any photos of the other side. A few people have pointed out the bar seems to be mounted about half an inch too low, plus theres unrepaired damage to metal work behind the bar along with a list of other little things that have been "overlooked"

Car goes back in next week to hopefully be fixed properly.

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
