yep, thought i add some type of spacers or change caliper and disc

is it worth it ? does 15mm makes a big difference ?

also the link between subframe and front cross member which has a big rubber bush in it seems as it is leaking grease or oil, could it be that ?

I am trying to find a picture so can share it .

here is the pic of the bush

no oil dripping on it from anywhere.

it seems the rocker cover is leaking but that is far back .

do the bushes have some sort of grease or oil in them or someone has put oil on to stop it squeeking ( previous owner)

"Radius rods typically are mounted ahead of the wheel. In that position they resist dive under braking forces and wheel hop underacceleration."

could be that then

many thanks

by the way is dba a good brand? In UK i am seeing ebc and mtec for brake discs and they are £200 for a pair of front discs compared to £100 for dba

One thing that we see on brakes thats been overlooked is the wheel hubs being warped.

Tyre shops love using rattle guns and over tightening wheel nuts, this warps the hub which in turn means the rotor sitting over it will have runout.

And one other thing is disc thickness variation, some pads agrivate this issue, once the rotor is scolloped its hard to measure with a dial indicator, only a light skim brings back the rotors.

Everything else said previously concerning other causes it pretty spot on.....

Also sticking calipers are a major source of warped rotors, push back the pistons, make sure none are hard to push back, any that are are overheating the rotor on one side.

any view on the discs?

I want to changed them to standard discs again and dba which is Australian made I think is only £100 for a pair where as EBC and motec is almost £200.

is DBA any good for street and occasional track use?

We have run both DBA and RDA rotors on or GTR and S2000, not a problem.

EBC in Reds are rated to 650 degrees and very gentle on the rotors and low dust.

EBC Yellows are a little harsher on the disc, rated to 900 degrees and dust up heaps.

My everyday daily cars run the EBC Redstuff (FG Turbo ute and Mrs Falcon), GTR and S2000 is on Yellows as they get pushed hard and need a bit more temp rating for late braking etc.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
