Hey all,

Long time since I have been on, buts its been a long time since I have really had the car back.

Long story short, I was in an accident in Late November, I got the car back after 3 months....

Ive had the car back for *about* 3months.

So today on my way home from work my entire Water Pump Housing cracked off and sent the fan partially through my brand new radiator!

Oh so annoying. Anyway, tomorrow I will find out if the Smash Repairers will fit the bill cause they obviously didnt replace the water pump even though it had been hit/damaged from my front on accident.

Im guessing there was a hairline fracture or something.

Here are the pics...

Fracture + a very very tight belt?

Yea, I was thinking that perhaps the belt was tentioned far to much and stressing the pump to much...

But you would have to be Hercules to do it that tight and not realise?

Im thinking that what may have happened is that the shaft was slightly damaged in the accident and it has grabbed on my way home. Im sure that even at 4k RPM it would be easier to snap that than to free itself up....

Hmmm, all speculation... I just really need it fixed.

Yeah it did happen to me, exept it happened with a brand new one the 1st day that it was on!

I got my money back for the pump plus a replacement pump and the money for a new fan and radiator, all from super cheap auto (took 2 months to get it though).

I put the pump on and I know I didnt over tighten it so I dunno what happened.

Dumb ass... it wasnt 1st day you had it on. If it were first day it would have broken when we were testing it. It was at least a few months after because we had just done my water pump and timing belt on my r33.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.
