I know you aren't really supposed to start your car while the A/C compressor is switched on, but has anyone else noticed if they do it first thing in the morning, the car doesn't like it at all.

I get oil pressure warning lights and whacked out engine idle which prompts me to switch the car off straight away.

Happen first time yesterday, and then again this morning. If I switch it off and start it again with the A/C turned

off it's fine. And if I try start it again with the A/C switched on it's fine.

Or is it just mine??

Just yours, I would clean the battery terminals first, sounds like an electrical/earthing issue.

The old adage about AC being turned on really only applies to older cars. Even the C34 stagea's dont engage the clutch on the air con straight away. My old series one used to turn the air con off breifly when I buried the right slipper even. (something I wish all cars with an automatic gearbox did - best idea ever IMO)

Ok, I didn't know all of that, but I will check everything stated above.

It seems to wind over fine, batter isn't showing signs of low power.

But will check it anyways, cheers.

See how you go, a quick terminal clean up with some emery can fix a lot of electrical issues. Check the earth straps also.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
