I know there has been a few people asking this but I havnt really found a straightforward answer

I have a 98 r34 gt25 and I want to upgrade it's brakes on a budget (as I am only a first year aprentice)

What model skyline brakes will be a direct bolt on or if there not what brakes will fit with an adapter front and rear

Also should note I'm running the factory nissan alloys so would have to fit inside there

Witch model exactly tho

R34 Gt-t.

Runs 310x30mm rotors with 4 piston Sumitomo Calipers on the front, and 296x18mm rear rotors with 2 piston Sumitomo calipers. The rears are identical on R32,R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t.

The fronts use 14mm mounting bolts, whereas the (similar looking) calipers for the R33GTS-t use 12mm mounting bolts, and also run a 296x30mm rotor. You can use a sleeve in the bolt hole but the pick is the GT-t caliper.

Ask any import wrecker, they will know what these are. You should be able source the front for $300-$400 with serviceable rotors. The rears will be half that, or less.

If you need rotors or pads; GSL Rallysport have some excellent, and well priced options.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
