So I got the oil leak sorted... Everything is running great and it's pretty quick.

Only thing is ( and Craig will be pissed at this ) - the miss us was adamant didn't like it anymore and wanted it gone. So the new owner came and picked it up this evening...

Not too happy but what can you do :down:

I'll be back though...

Oil leak was LHS cam cover gasket again. I retightened everything up and it isn't happening anymore. I think I may have let it drop out of the channel in the cover a bit at the front on fitting.

I had no love for the turbo replacement, but I really liked the power it was making afterwards. You still thinking of getting something else ala Audi?

I owned it for 12 months, thats not too bad. The other half never liked it though (apart from the boot space) and it just wasn't worth the hassle of her never liking driving it (and it being her main car...)

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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.

      Tomei gasket

      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)

      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.
