Hey Fellas !! Please help me out,

I own a 1994 R32 GTR With the Standard NISSAN brakes and i have some unknown brand of brake lines, but they are Braided thats forsure... I Live in Sydney so i wanted to get a replaced set that are ADR approved.

Now i've bought some from HEL and they have POSSIBLY supplied me the wrong set 2 TIMES unless the previous owner stuffed around with the fittings

Have a look at this picture ill send you and you will see the black line is the old one coming off the front wheel but the red one is the new set which are WAY to short. Now theve send 2 short ones and 2 long ones but the LONG ones dont have the same fittings as my old braided brake lines that go on the fronts. I am so confused right now because how can they send the wrong ones 2 times!! I was wondering if you have any pictures of your HEL braided lines u purchased so i can compare them to mine.

This is a picture of what i was talking about

IIRC my HEL braided lines were the same, its meant to be fixed to the metal line as it only replaced the rubber part

I'll try and take pic of mine later today to confirm for you, memory bit hazy but i recall it throwing me off as well

Check your PM, they are correct, i got my HEL lines from Import Monster and they were identical and went straight on after opening the thin clip holes on the front lines.

      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.

      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
