Ah ok. So that's where the mix up was.

Hmmm that sucks. I've allready emailed Daryl so I'll see what he says.

Any chance you guys can send each other the rotors? Postage shouldn't be that much would it?

Awesome guys, glad you could sort it out. Had me stressing for a bit!

Daryl replied back and apologies' very much for the slight mix up, he doesn't know how it happened. He is willing to pay the small freight cost via Paypal or something, or if the rear brake group buy goes ahead to take some money off of them for you.

Excellent. Sorry I havn't been replying much. I don't have the internet at home at the moment (long story).

Also I updated the DIY thread with my first test drive from the other night :)

Have fitted up my brakes now. And about to do a bleed.

GTR's would be better with a different type of brake line. The stock setup has a hard pipe that runs behind the top of the rotor to the back side of the rotor then a line from there to chassis. I have fitted the supplied hel lines with a few cable ties. After cable tieing the line to the abs wire the line sits within an inch of the front driveshaft.

Will keep an eye on it.

Had a small issue bleeding them. Crack the nipple and the fluid comes out the tread not the nipple. Same on all of them.

Did a quick test in my driveway. Needs another quick bleed all round.

Did ur bleed nipples do the same thing?

Have a read of my DIY again man. I updated it with the bleeding procedure and adressed the issue you are mentioning (I did it aswell the first time).

You are cracking the wrong part of the nipple. The actual nipple itself is the black part and has it's own nut. You are cracking the gold part which is what the nipple sits in.

You will know what I mean as soon as you look at it again :)

Keep in mind people, bleed nipples on brakes are tapered flare or ball seat - (ball seat in old euro stuff only usually). Thread tape should NEVER be put on to seal them. If you are referring to the fitting that houses the nipple, that should also never have thread tape on it....use locktite thread sealant or thread lock if you have to. Much better seal that way

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
