hey

not sure wether its the same but on ours we had a knocking sound when going over bumps turned out to be the sway bar link arms and if thats what the prob is northshore prestige are good for parts

i dont want to put that rubber rubbish back into it. its weak and will do the same thing again, was looking for more a replacement nolathane etc?

are the front arms on the stagea similar to anything else nissan have? xtrail 350z etc?

sway bar Links to the lower control arm?? could be right. they did however look to be ok. but i am getting the same noises as you describe.

would like it fixed so its perfect for the next buyer if someone ever does come along to buy it

I had a knocking noise in the front end when weight cam on and off the front left corner.

turned out to be a loose nut on the swaybar mount that holds the bush. It felt tight and even with a bar would not move but put a socet on it and tightened it and no more noise.

worth a check before you spend money.

thats the bit that was our prob not the best pic shoulda got 1 from other side to but you should be able email nothshore prestige if it turns out that is ur problem about $75 per side

and if you have a pedders near you $14 for a full inspection and they will tell you exactly whats wrong

Mine makes all kinds of suspension noises when driving up driveways lol.

She's heavy so i put them down to weight factor lol

Nissan havn't tried to sell me any expensive arm set-ups or anything so I'll assume it's not something major that they could profit off, or they would have taken the opportunity!

On that note, the old girl goes in for a 100,000km service at Parramatta Motor Group on Wednesday.. woo hoo! happy birthday

On a side note, I'm planning on treating her to a beauty treatment at Seven Hills Detailing Centre as part of her birthday present.. I was umming and arrring due to the front quarter panel (p plater incident) and the drivers door (some c*n# with a key or something similiar in a carpark), but decided it might bring the rest of the paint up quiet well and will keep her looking good for a few months.

Anyways, my rant over :yes:

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
