I think I had the same noise before I had my 100,000km service, got the belt, tensioner and idler bearings replaced. It was not a cheap trip to the mechanics that was origionally just supposed to be a tune up.

They said I had a serious timing belt noise and recomended I change ASAP. That was Gavin Wood Autotech on the Gold Coast so I trusted them and had it done.

Get the cambelt and pullys check. I had the same noise ...along with it sounding like there was a cricket living in my housing. Well I left it a little to long, snapped the belt and bent 4 valves.

The idle pulley had be refitted after getting the cambelt replaced (done when car was complied), some idiot put a washer behind the pully and this threw the allignment out. It ran the belt against the housing and wore it from the standard thickness of 1' down to a 12 inch thick.

I had my water pump replaced recently, and they needed to get the timing belt off. When they put it back on, it was way too tight, and made noises on idle once it warmed up. When cold it made no noise...

Also check to see if it the bearings on your A/C, alternator or power steering.

To do that, take one belt off at a time to see if it stops..

ok well im pritty sure its my cam gear bearings coz my dad said the same thing as u guys  said, where would i get it fixed is there a good place in melbourne?? thankz guyzzzzzzz

id say its you timing belt not cam bearings, they dont have cam bearings you can replace, they are just machined journals in the head and caps. i did a timing belt for a friends rb25 and before i did it was making similar noise to you were talking about, found belt pretty lose. After i replace the belt it was all fine. just my opinon from your discription

      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
