Hey guys,

The other day i had a bit of a accident in the wet and hit a curb pretty hard and bent the lower right control arm at the rear and got it replaced with 2 brand new rear tyres and wheel allignment done. However the guys at the wheel allignment place said they could not straighten everything a 100% due to soemthing else (that they couldnt see) being bent. Now the steering is shocking. The wheel is like 10 degrees of centre when travelling straight. So when i let go of the steering wheel when traveling staright, the car shoots left. The other thing I also found was when i turn right the steering feels a lot 'heavier' then when i turn left. Im guessing soemthing is still seriously bent or damaged. My car is a S1 R33 Gts-t. The HICAS light works like normal and its not indicating anything is wrong.

can anyone give me some advice on what it might be? keeping in mind that it was the rear left hand side that i hit hard.

any help/advice would be much appreciated

cheers.

No idea man. I didnt get them cos the people who did the wheel alingment went through my repairer not me personally, so i dont really know. should have got them though.

Then I suggest you get it checked and post the numbers, it will be easy to tell what's wrong. Otherwise I would be guessing in the dark.

Take it to a suspension place and get them to check over the car where you had the accident. Like sydneykid said find out what the wheel alignment is on the car. Do you have positive camber on the back left? COuld be a number of things. ONe thing is to check whether there is any movement in the wheel. Could be the wheel bearing ?

      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.
