Brisby - Yes! YAY! I ran a 129.53 on my first run. My second run was hindered with a little bit of ran and a penalty for having street tyres on the rear.

And no I didn't have the Top Gun music playing while I had the car show in car camera, it would have been so cool too because the camera was facing me not the road, i could've been singing danger zone or something!! haha. I was too stressed about the whole tyre issue to think of music. Next time gadget.

I do hope you and James liked my air guitar move though when we pulled up next to you on the way home blasting the Top Gun Theme music!!

Cool times are up. My best result is 14th outright in the Short Wang. Got to be happy with that considering my launch would really hurt me on such a short event

I dont feel so bad now.I have a couple top 20 outright results a fair few top 30 results and then in the 40s. My problem is that on the skidpan im coming 70th :)

Sign me up for the next DECA, install diff and learn to use handbrake :)

what happened to the times at Sandown ? Was there a problem with the car?

I went first obviously and there was something seriously wrong in my 1st run. The car had no pull in 3rd or 4th gear. My top speed down the straight after the run was 178km/hr! The car was blowing a lot of smoke too. Our only guess was the engine was WAY overfilled with oil which Chris said he did. The top speed for my 2nd run was better at 221km/hr but still below where it should have been. I also had a slight sprinkle of rain in my 2nd run which caught me out at turn 2 and at the entry to the fast kink. 4th gear was also shagged so we were having to double clutch it which was a new experience for me. Plus by this stage our tyres were shagged. Check out how they were at the end of the day!

LOL. Z-tune? Meh, the thing is 4wd and eleventy billion dollars with eleventy billion kws and it is only 6/10 of a second quicker then the RB20 over the standing half mile :laugh:

Hell, i wish i had the balls to run the boost on Saturday that i was running on Sunday. The extra 30rwkws may have helped :laugh:

Im stoked with how the car went now. At the time i was a bit miserable but the old girl got some real good results, shame that the bad results were equally as bad :D

On the oveall results, how come Jeff and Peter are down as a 2000 model VI? They were in a red IX so 05/06 model I thought. Phenominal driving by the pair either way.

Am very impressed by the overall standard though. :laugh:

LOL! Just noticed that as well! :laugh:

Marcus White will surely be pissed with his car classified as a 1995 when his plate says 1996!

If you look you'll also see Chris and I were driving a 1999 GTR. Basically the EVO guys would have originally entered that they were doing it in Jeff's old car and like for us never updated the information on the new car.

Makes sense now. Surprises me though as all weekend the organisers demonstrated exceptional efficency with data. E.g awards and times that night, SMS results, results on the web already. :thumbsup:

2. The Winton Flip Flop can be a scary place.

I can second that... YOWZERS!!

Yeah, I did leave on Sunday with a nasty headache...maybe it was the MJR car... oh well, it still sounded great for the 3 times that I saw it!! mmmmmm 7 litres and a holinger sequential... heaven!! :thumbsup:

Bris, I saw that NSW GT-R with similar plates to yours! I thought you had lent him your plates for driving to the event or somehting... weird!!

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
