hey guys, im new to the skyline forum and im glad i found it ( mate told me about it)

im havin a rippa of a day off trying to pull my hair out and figure whats wrong with my r33.

A couple of nights ago i filled up fuel, Drove fine, to work and back , did its job, one night on the way home i was headin for the fuel station as the car chewed the crap out of the fuel ( first time its done it) and it was sort of limping then it was ok, so at one stage it died and i pulled over only to find it was ok, i got home, turned it off

and went to BP to grab a jerry can and some Premium .

did that after being chased by damn dogs at 1 am in the morning. ( have the image of some dude holdin the jerry can above his head runnin away from a big dog )

Now it wont Catch, I mean in that respect, i put the key in the barrel, turn and the engine just attempts anything to start, but nothing. Wont even ( Nearly start as ive see people type) Anyways i was hoping one of you fine people here could help me as its my only way to work and back and i love the dear little r33, first turbo car and its been good till now, Any help is greeatly Appreciated and thankyou!

im no expert but sounds like its either fuel pump or fuel filter, you should never run the car that low , it may have stuffed up the fuel pump but a fuel filter is cheap so try that first.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
