Hi,

My local Beaurepaires have told me that I need to find a workshop with the special tool to allow a wheel alignment on my R34. Aparently it makes the rear steer central before perfoming a 4 wheel alignment.

Can anyone recommend a worshop in the north east suburbs of Melbourne that can do this?

Thanks,

Michael.

Thanks. I've known Craig for many years, but I dont live in that area anymore. I was hoping there'd be someone in the north east (Bundoora, Greensbourough) area.

Thanks. I know Traction Tyres and their involement in Rallying over the years, so they really know what they are doing. Its just a bit of a drive from where I live (north east suburbs).

Due to only having two recomendations, I'm starting to wonder if I was mis-informed.

Has anyone encountered this before? (tyre shop telling you need to go to a Nissan dealer or tyre shop that has a special tool to centre the HICAS before/when performing a 4 wheel alignment)

Where do you get your wheel alignments done when you have a Skyline with 4WS?

I'm pretty sure the hicas will always be centred when the car is on and not moving due to it being electric I expect it would be centred without the engine running too. As far as I know hicas puts in inputs to move the rack when required, otherwise it's centered....

I understand what you're saying here Omurru. That's how I thought HICAS worked. I've had alignments done on my HR31 (past car) and the tyre shop didnt comment on the special need to centre the HICAS.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
