Well, as soon as you fix 1 problem you get another 1! :bananaman AHHHH! :bananaman

At low speeds my car seems to sqeak! i'm not sure whether it's coming from the brake or the steering? it usually happens under braking while i'm turning into driveways and such? I've recently had my wheels balanced and aligned and i'm due for a service.

Anyone got any ideas!? :grouphug:

does it happen when you brake and/or turn without going up a gutter /driveway etc?

If it seems to mainly happen when going up a driveway, or over a speed hump etc.. could be something to do with the suspension, what does the squeek sounds like?

Does it sound like a bolt/nut undo'ing from being really tight?

if so maybe a nut/bolt not tight enough etc... play around with it, see if you ca narrow it down.

check your brakes as the stock pads will have scratch tabs on them so when you brake lightly or turn they squeak to alert you need a pad change. Also, if the pads are ok, try shoving a garden hose onto the disc/caliper and give them a good wash out. This will get rid or the built up brake dust which can also cause squeaks. The tabs should squeak louder in reverse. also don't do the hose thing when the brakes are hot. make sure the car has sat for a while.

yeah, as the suspension is not used to being that low when they jack it up so it can drag in all the dirt around the bush and it's usually the upper control arm inner bush, I've had to do mine and two of my mates twice now. It sounds like there's a DJ with a turntable under your car.

      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.

      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
