hey guys, just a quick one, im looking at buying a new car soon and i have my eye on a certain car, but the owner says that the timing belt was replaced and its a tad noisy, and his mechanic said that the noise will eventually go away. is this suss or normal?

its a FWD celica, with 130 ish km on the dial.

i went and had a look at the car tonight. it whines on cold startup, so roughly 1300rpm, and when it comes down after idling a bit the whine quietens, the whine comes back again as the rpm increases. still sounding like a tight timing belt? also, when i had my ear to the engine trying to listen for the whine location, it wasnt only coming from the timing belt housing, it was all over the top of the motor. thoughts???

IF it isnt a tight timing belt, what could cause a similar whine noise in the engine?

cheers

      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.

      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.
