Hey guys. Yesterday I was driving around, parked the car and came back. Drove for 5 mins when I started to hear a loud knock/thump from my rear right corner. Almost as if my tyre is flat (and it isn't) the noise only comes when in not on the throttle but is silent when I'm braking it on the throttle..

Whats going on?

Translation / clarification please

Meantime, check:

wheel nuts loose

wheel bearing shagged.

+1 for wheel bearing, have you checked the wheel for movement side to side?

just on the weekend i had a wheel bearing go on a boat trailer, when your accelerating the wheel seems to straighten up, but when breaking or cuising the the wheel wobbles and that makes the bang noise,

try throwing some water on the wheel after a drive and if you get a big cloud of steam then you know its about ready to fly off the car, i think you might be close if your hearing that noise anyway.

Be careful of doing this if your brakes are hot, not good for them

Possibly drive shaft?

CV's, Handbrake on and put the drivetrain under load (first gear, slip clutch) listen for clicks

      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.

      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.
