Macka - I been once, 3 weeks after I got my car!!! On my last runs I started having the power probs I just fixed for the first time.

Don't reckon I got much out of the last session aside from the knowledge that I couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dog's you know what...

Is it a new noise or just the fact that you are listening hard for the first time.

Troy , stop being so paranoid and worrying about the worst case scenario.

As I said on the phone , it is probably the rad cap has lost pressure and allowing the water out of the overflow.

The murky colour is because you have probably boiled the water when it stopped and it's like giving the block a hot enema , all sorts of shit will come out.

Drive it home tonight , take it easy and don't use the aircond.

Get a new cap in the morning from Auto one , Marlows , Coventry's , whatever.

It's only a cap and the same as dozens of others.

Ohh and drain the water , or get c red to do and stick some new coolant in.

The reason it boils is that without the cap pressure the water will boil at 100deg C

Your car should run normally at about 90 deg C and the 13 or 15 lb cap will raise the boiling point to about 120deg C.

this is why when you open the cap if it's in good nick after driving it , the water will suddenly boil , cos ya dropped the boiling point down to normal.

As yours has no pressure , it will boil easy.

The hissing sound is probably normal pod filter induction or at the worst a vacuum line is off or split.

Just that you are looking and have suddenly heard what has been there all along.

Besides , a blown head gasket does not make a hissing noise , it causes the engine to run rough on startup ( as I said on the phone ) or blows water out of the radiator while it is running or a LOT of bubbles will appear ( some are normal )

it is the pressure in the radiator that stops most of the boiling.

Anti boil has an additive , like glycol or something , which raises the boiling point slightly , depending on the mix.

      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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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)

      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.
