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 GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)

      Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.

      Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
