He was a true Gentleman.. Sad sad day for Australian motorsport.

I remember when I was a little tacker I was chasing him to autograph my hat, he had like 5 assistants trailing him and was about 1/2 way up the stairs to his private HRT tent and he made the time to sign it.

Champion full stop

Some video articles for this inclined, there are 3 in total, including one with Bev aswell.

I must say, even though they arent together, its a very tough interview where she is very very honest.

I swear, i never thought id feel this crap all arvo/night - but the accident and death has really gotten me down - Kinda strange cos even though I was saddened by steve irwins death, it wasnt as bad as this - probably cos I love cars and racing and have been following it since I came to this country......I kept watching the news pretty much all night (both on tv and on the internet), probably a bad move - but I just couldnt get myself to leave it...

RIP Brocky

I am a ford man myself but for Peter I have never had anything but the utmost respect he was always gracious in defeat not that it happened much and a true gentleman when he won. Australia has lost its motoring King. I feel for his kids and his extended family it must be hard for them because he was such a big celebrity they will find it hard to mourn without the media on them 24/7

Take Care Brocky

Yep, RIP Peter Brock.

looking at those overhead shots of the site it looks like a fairly easy mistake, narrow road and the tree is mere meters from the edge of the bitumen, and from the radio interviews it sounds like he was fairly concerned about the tailiness of the car...

sad loss for aussie motorsport no matter who you support.

      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)

      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.
