Hey,

Has anyone had a run with a HSV COUPE (GTS or GTO).

I was driving down Epping Road yesterday and had a Yellow HSV COUPE scream past me...

I can't tell which one it was as it was badged.

It was either the 255 kw or 300 KW job (probably the 255, hence the reason why he badged it).

Ohh did I mention he was on his P's. hahah Big bloke in the car (just looked funny). My first thought was he had been done for speeding and lost his license or somethoing like that.

So anyways had a little run and he couldn't pull away from me...

I also noticed when the corner got a little tight he couldn't hold the car in the lane and it started skipping (I guess you could say) into the next lane...Where moine just sat very flat on the road..

Regards

LOL.

I had a quick run with a GTS 300kw sedan one night.

I've got to say that it sounded really nice.

Anyway, the old 3rd gear got him :) I pulled away in the mid/high 3rd gear. I didn't scream away from him, but it was pulling away.

At that stage I only had a 3 inch exhaust, pod and 12psi boost.

I've run a 255kW Clubsport R8, and I have to say it was pretty damned close - dead level actually, except after ~160 I pulled away (until I hit the limiter). Mind you, it didn't sound like it had the stock exhaust on it so maybe it had slightly more power than stock, maybe it didn't, I dunno.

I had a play with the 300kW Monaro a couple of months ago too. Unfortunately I was on the 'Blade though - the Skyline would've probably been more fun. Anyway, he had me level pegged in the corners (cos I'm a wuss) but on the straights it was like kicking a puppy :P The bloke was pretty cool, he gave me a bit of a wave and a smile, and even kicked it out a little bit as he took his turnoff... wicked :(

At a track day a while back, on the twisty bits I was all over the GTO's. Had more corner speed and could brake a lot later than them. There were about 3 of them. Coming on the straight though, they've got torque and plenty of it.

PFC should fix that problem now.

He He so the old 3rd eh ... funny about that as thats usually when my LS1 does its best work

I don't usually get a look in in 1st gear usually start to match em in 2nd and 3rd is when it all happens for me the gen 111's start to hunt em down.

The Skyline is a very nice car guys so is the humble Commie, its been a learning experience perusing your Forums.

Cheers :burnout:

Could someone please explain to me why Mel always gets picked on by Commodores. Wollongong was a great example last friday night. We were just out for a cruise after dinner at Stanwell Park and looking for a Mobil servo down there and all we got was clowns after a piece of her. Look out the day she decides enough is enough,,,theres gonna be some very pissed off aussie muscle. Then again,,,I should stop having 3 beers at dinner,,,cause I won't put up with that crap.

Neil.

beware of a black commy monaro getting around sydney as the last time i was at 'the creek' there was one running around a flat 12 or high 11 (around this - my memory fails me at times). either way it was quicker than any skyline was on that particular night

it looked quite std but didn't sound it.

      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.
