apart from fuel ~$60/week, tyres $900 every 6-8 months and insurance, besides modding you gotta watch out for when unexpected things go wrong...

case in point...

clutch left.... -$1200

rotors + pads - $500

exhaust manifold gasket - $ 700

car being stolen and having to come up with $2100 excess .... -$2100

you gotta make sure you got some funnds in reserve all the time, otherwise you left with a dayum nice paper weight....

R32 gtst 4 Door

FMIC, boost=0.8 bar

3" cat back zorst

I get 420 kms of a tank in town and 470 on the highway if I keep it below 100, otherwise i get about 400 a tank if that. It used to be an auto in Japan, they changed it to manual, so I am guessing final ratio is wrong now.

Granny Driving with that consumption. Occasional squirt.

Insurance, Third Party Property with Just Cars is $860 i think

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
