hey guys i need help..........

i have had a front mount installed recently and since then i have had over heating problems....

the radiator was cleaned out the other day (was 80% blocked) and the thermostat has been changed yet still it heats up...............

tends to only get hot after around 30-40min and worse when going up long hills............

any help or ideas would be appreciated guys thanks

If the radiator has just been flushed and there are no issues with fluid leaks. then it is possible that due to the intercooler taking the majority of the coldest air the radiator is no longer getting sufficient airflow. Actually not really airflow just that the air it is now receiving will be hotter as the intercooler has first dibs on the coolest air. A bigger radiator could solve this problem.

like others have said, it wud be ur front mount - since that is what u installed prior to overheating...

-u cud try adding spacers to the bonnet to lift it up slightly for better flow through the engine

-bonnet vents

-bigger radiator

-a non-restrictive front grill and/or front bar (vents and holes etc)

-more fans

-better coolant.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      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)

      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.
