Hey Guys,

Its been raining all day today so I have not been able to get pics.. I am exhausted!

The mechanic report came back with:

- 165 to 168 psi across all 6 cylinders

- rhr axle oil seal leaking

- front upper inner bushes worn

- front and rear discs, pads, rotors need replacing

- front upper shock absorber bushes need replacing

- front caster bar bushes need replacing

I drove it around (on trade plates) for most of today and she drives very well, everything works, the air con will need regassing.

With a bit of effort I managed to remove both of the cup holders, unfortunately one of the vents was already broken and moves on its own, so i'm going to see if i can repair it with super glue when i take Gav's advice on fixing the bubble in the dash.

writeoff: Yeah! I feel your pain man. I spent most of today in prayer driving around like a grandma letting the car get used to functioning again.. I'm so glad everything seems okay because the spare cash i've had sitting around for the car has been burning a hole in my pocket for 6 months, and now that its finally here i'm a bit poor :rofl:

Its finally in the garage wooohooo!!

Hey Guys.

I've got a major problem. :rofl:

I live on the top of a very steep drive way.. with not a great deal of runup. It's short and on quite an incline. I think its going to kill my car. :)

In a normal RWD'er with enough balls, (or even the old pulsar gtir) I can kind of point it up there, give it a bit of revs, let out the clutch completely at the bottom and storm up the top. (This is the ideal way to do it without burning out my clutch)

I've realised that with the GTR and ATTESSA it kind of bogs down on the low end on anything below about 4000rpm, the poor car putts up the driveway and is either burning the crap out of my (a) clutch (B) transfer case © gear box .. or maybe all of the above. It smells bad.

if I give it enough to do a proper launch i can still smell the clutch burning, so either way i seem to lose.

The only solution I can think of, is tommorow i'll try taking the 4wd fuse out and see how I go, and rely on a bit of clutch slippage at the bottom.

I'm probably still getting used to the car but having to rev over 3,500rpm every time I want to go up my driveway seems excessive, and I dont want to damage the transfer case.

What do you guys think?

LOL..

Yeah, If RWD doesnt work i'll be packing the end of this week .. parking on the street? inconceivable!

Mark: Btw, Thanks mate, hows your girl these days? :rofl:

Also, is there anything else I have to do other than pull the 4wd fuse? Anything that can happen that I should be wary of?

pentae: No need - just leave it hooked up and reverse the car down when you leave ;) Just don't forget to unhook it before you tramp it up the street! :P

it will be at the bottom of the driveway when you get home ;)

PS, could be also used as an anti-theft device for an unwitting thief :)

Nxtime: Damn, that would actually work.

But i'd still need to get out of the car ;)

Can anyone please tell me if I can pull the 4wd fuse out / put it back in, while the car is running, without damaging anything?

I dont know enough about auto electrics to make my own decision.

I think I might just get a simple toggle switch.. for AWD on / off.. I dont care too much about adjusting the drive split.. I just want an on off switch. Surely this can be done by an auto electrician fairly cheaply? Does anyone else have a toggle switch? Can it be used while driving?

Thanks everyone..

edit: ps. More pics in a few hours! :D

Hey Guys,

Click Here FOR 12 PICS I took of the car after a clean!!

I love this car. I'm still bummed about having to wait 6 months, but i'm happy with the end result.

Can anyone tell me what the damn thing mounted where a turbo timer normally sits in picture 2 is? Its obviously got something to do with the stereo that used to be there.

It says Panasonic on it. :D

      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.

      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
