I'm another who misses Speed, but have since moved on to HPI and I've gotta say that I'm liking it. I always thought it was a little too expensive in the past (yeah I know that it's only $1 more expensive than Speed was) but since they are giving bonus mags with every issue I couldn't say no and now I'm hooked. Didn't know that they were giving away different combinations of free mags though! I'll have to look harder next time. Every now and then I'll also buy Autosalon but haven't in ages.

I used to have a sub to Speed and would buy HPI and Motor every now and then.

Now read HPI on and off and subed to Motor.

Although it was said that Speed's committment was invested into 2DMAX, I have never bought it. I looked one and though it was rubbish. I wounder how many people there were like me?

I think we can all agree that 2DMAX is rubbish, haven't met anyone on these forums or otherwise that actually likes it. I wonder where they got their market research from that made the publishers believe that 2DMAX would sell better than Speed? Maybe they thought there was already enough serious/dedicated motoring magazines around (like Motor) so they got rid of Speed and tried make a mag that would appeal to a younger/more casual audience?

I know that some people found that Speed was more than a little up themselves and that the technical content was sometimes rubbish but it surely was still better than 2DMAX.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
