First i'd like to thanks JACK (Citywide Towing 0419 877 437) for organising a Tow truck coming all the way from Melb to Heathcote to tow my mate's car home. :P

Secondly i'd like to thank JACK ....oh sorry Jack's FATHER for driving his tow truck all the way up to Heathcote to help us out at a very mate's rate. A very friendly gentlment too.

Thanks YLWGTR for respray my bonet back to the tip top condition, you're a pro mate.

Warning, while we were at Heathcote today, a highway patrol car rocked in the pit area. Mr officer then took a walk around try to pick on cars but unfortunately the amount of car's trailer there were as much as cars that run on the day so they left disappointed.

You'd like to think by doing the right thing, we drive 2 hours + away to test our cars out just to see officers rock up at a place that they encourage us to come and test our cars out instead of the street.

So whatever you do next time at the drag strip, becarefull. Little that they know WE import drivers love to run our cars on street tyres, street tune and street trims. We are not weak sources that us slick, un bolt their cat's back, use high octance neither NOS or if we do we'd arrive in style (on trailer ofcourse :D).

wow towing from heathcote would have been a mint if it wasnt at mate rates, although i would still imagine it to be a fair amount of $$..

A shame about the cop, they should be encouraging people who are doing the right thing!!

Did you run your car West?

Nah, i didn't run my car mate though the last time i was there i ran 12.2 with 1.9 60ft time @5k dump. I'll wait for the next SAU drag day.

I was about to go today as well with my mates - they were running their Black RX7 Series 6. Good thing i didn't go, they only ran the car once and it broke down.

Yeah i saw that car, FULL SICK :P. It currently holding record for fastest street register Series 6. Go to love the TD-H 88.

Your mate were trying to help my friend as well, we borrowed tools off him but couldnt' fix anything, it was BILL wasn't it?

Yep Bill from Rotary Performance Centre. Its got the biggest T88 in the market :P

They havent broken the record yet, but will do in time - they've only ran the car around 3-4 times. Best is 9.8 at the moment, i think 9.6 is the record for street trim.

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      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?
