To be honest I don't know - I've only been to PI in the R34 once.. the lap time wasn't anything great since I was on street tyres, and it was well before i made a few significant power/handling upgrades :) more just for fun than anything else. I took my old 200sx to PI a few times before, but I'm super keen to get out there with the R34 again and try out my new setup B)

I heard what times you were running jack. I'm very impressed... Having the car capable of it is one side, the other side is the balls, and looks like you found yours! :)

Yeah thanks Andrew, I think once u are comfortable and have confidence in the car, u can take most corners with great speed without fear of sliding off, especially with brand new RE55's....

I reckon I could still improve on that, we'll see next month, round 2 is at PI....

Oh com eon. Dont tease, what times Jack?  The new turbos feel as good on the track as they do the street?  :)

Well, let's just say I did an unofficial 1:50, as the last session of the day was not 'officially' timed for some reason.... Crazy Frank and Steve (Black 550 Maranello) hand timed me in the last session with a best of 1:50.06. On the piarc site I registered a 1:52 in the second last session.... Last time I was at PI my best was a 1:58.....

Going to try and dip into the 49's next month..

Roy, turbos feel awesome, so much torque down low and response is second to none compared to old setup.....

hey Jack,

what turbo's are you running now?? no more t517z's??

Dane

Hey Dane,

T517's are gone. replaced with GT2560R's, similar to 2530's but more response and spool up quicker, they lack the top end of the T517's but I can live with that, so much nicer to drive.....

Yeah Matt, what times??????????????

      Starting again

      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).

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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)
