Flux Capacitor?

LOL, will power cycle it so I can rule it out.

I know the tie rods aren't great and the front suspension is squeaking over speed bumps so shagged out bushes does seem a pretty logical explanation.

Can someone point me in the right direction for new ones?

Also the car is under 3 month statutory warranty, would new suspension bushes be covered? My inclination is that they wouldn't....

If it isnt the tyres I would say the main castor arm bush is shagged, fairly common fault on these barges. Not really something you can check on the side of the road though.

yeah you can; grab the castor arm, give it a yank

An update to this issue, I was doing a tight turn at low speed in a car park yesterday and it started shuddering. I then realised I'd bumped the Synchro button, switched it off, no shudder.

Seems the problem may be in the front drivetrain, any ideas? Also discovered a power steering fluid leak last night, yay more money to spend!

Different wear. How do they look? It doesn't take much to cause issues, a couple of mm can do it.

Perhaps the attessa fluid?

I can't think of much else, yours isn't LSD rear is it?

      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.
