Over the 5 years I've noticed a few things making noises an moving. Just curious if anyone else had noticed it too.

My clutch pedal clicks and dips sideways a little like there is a piece worn out of the pivot point.

The front of my drivers seat lifts with acceleration. Like the rails are worn badly.

My rear hood lining isn't stuck to the roof anymore on the front edge. Like the clips just won't hold the weight. And as far as I know it's never been removed.

These are the little things that go wrong with older cars; this is exactly why people sell perfectly good cars; a little time & investigation can yield very cheap, easy repairs.

The clutch pedal will have a nylon bush on the pivot point; these do wear.

You should be able to buy a new one from Nissan, or if you are friends with a machinist; they could spin you up a new one if you provide the old one as a sample.:thumbsup:

Seat rails may well be wearing; but there may be something you can tighten depending on their construction. I've also tacked little shims into frames to tighten the slides. Have you pulled one out to have a look?

Due to the amount of heat that the roof lining cops, if it is held by plastic clips; these may well have gone brittle & broken.

Not sure how yours is assembled because I don't have a C34; I'm sure one of the guys who've had the headlining out will know.

Il probably get a bush made at work for the clutch pedal

If that's the case. It only got really bad when I put a hd clutch in.

I need some more back friendly seats anyway so some new rails and seats will fix the moving seat issue.

I've got one glue patch unstuck and 2 clips just not holding.

I'm not really worried about it just curious what others have noticed over ownership.

Mine's been pulled apart a few times, so I'm starting to notice a few rattles behind the dash: eventually I'll tear it all out and find the culprits... clutch pedal requires regular greasing, as it squeaks... other than that, not much to report, happily....thumbsup.gif

My roof lining needs attention. The stock seats offer little in the way of lateral support - GTR ones bolt right in - I have a set of Recaros out of a late model Honda - just needed a new seat base and sliders - hold me in much better on corners.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • 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.
    • 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.
