Car comes back again tonight with mesh behind the holes in the front bar and the indicator lights put in.

I'll take pics tomorrow when it's still day light.

Goes in for the full tune up and dyno run in the morning!

I'll post the results up once I get in here to work tomorrow.

Thats the clutch i'm getting except it's been slightly modified to handle things alot better.

Dan might come on sometime and explain the clutch.

But from what Dan just told me, the clutch in the skyline now is absolutely rooted and it wouldnt of even lasted another week.

Looks like a button?

looks pretty much like my single plate 5 puck unsprung organic button clutch but in a multiplate.

its on or its off, it shudders, its noisy, its an absolute bitch in traffic. its there to handle the torque my cars setup puts out you get used to it but why youd sign up for that unless you needed it is kinda beyond me.

otherwise my clutches end up like this

but seriously, it seems like overkill

Belgarion I believe it is multiplate, twin I think from memory, exedy don't make a single plate clutch in a multi format.....

But good analysis of how it will be to use!!!

Unfortantly, due to the old clutch being completely rooted and near destroyed.... ran into a few problems last night when fitting the new one, so a new cover thing needs to be replaced which can be brought today as everything was closed last night.

Had to again reschedule the tune and dyno run again for this morning and have delayed it till next week.

Was looking forward to this mornings dyno run!

Were you selling this car a while ago?

What made you change your mind?

Yeah, was selling it a few months back.

2 people were interested.

1st - applied for a loan but fell through/wasn't approved.

2nd - another person said he`ll find the dosh for it and never heard from him again.

Was going to go for a GTR. But thought I keep a interest in the GTST and see what I can really do with it!

Well.... clutch I will have to get use to, thats for sure.

It is a bit like a button clutch but, can still ride it a bit.

did NOT stall it once last night!

But all up, this car has some serious balls and is running way better then expected.

cant wait for the tune up on tuesday.

gawd that clutch looks like itl be a bitch to drive!! I recently had a brass butt exedy clutch 1050kg clamping force installed in mine and traffic is a killer, feels like theres about 1cm of play between it being full on or off, not to mention the new found muscles in my leg from the weight of the peddle. Not real friendly but lays the power down very nicely :down: and apparently will handle very good for drifting

So... what's the deal with the clutch? The pictures you posted... is that yours? Or is the link to exedy site the one you have got? Because they are totally different! Has it been modified that much that it is now unsprung? Also the friction plates are totally different... :)

I do have to say from Thursday night though, that it looks very nice. Dan has done a neat and tidy job :mad:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
