Hay guys, my gtt r34 skyline has just reached 100,000 km an in need of a service.

Can anybody recommend a good mechanic in the western suburbs area that does a good job, my mechanic has quoted me $650 inc parts and labour to replace fan belt, timing belt an replace the spark plugs i have used this mechanic on my old non turbo gt r34 when i was on my p's. He did a great job (car didnt break down for the rest of the time i owned it 6 months). So any help would be greatly appreciated.

All good points, although he is a trusted mechanic an at the end of the day as long as he does a good job and it works as it should , at he end of the day it's still a motor regardless of the brand skyline.

Just make sure you assemble all the parts you need to change.

its not a days work... its 3 hours if you know what you're doing... ive done at least 100 timing belt changes on skylines now lol.

Lol...I've never changed one and I know this...it would still easily take me a day though..

Plus if your mechanic is nice enough to only charge you trade price for parts, some are but many arent, Id say he is quite easily making a couple hundred off this..still a pretty good deal ..many say you should change your waterpump as well but if your radiator fluid is in good nick IE still bright green and not full of rust scale and your water system is clean I wouldnt worry to much about it..maybe Just throw a bottle of radiator flush in before you drive it to the mechanic and drive slowly, or get him to do it...

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
