Hey all :(

SAUWA are entering drag warz here in Perth.

I'm entering my car haha

Previous owner did some dragging in her before (I'll find the threads to that)

I was just wondering if anyone here has done this with thier S1's and anything I should do to the car before hand.

I'll be changing the oil this weekend (a week prior) and attaching my front strut brace.

Boost is set at 8psi but can do higher, will get that tuned before also..

Anything else?

Its not hard in an auto awd car.

only tip, for launching do the following.

put in D, forget about power/other shit, push handbrake in as hard as you can, left foot on the brake as hard as you can, right foot on the accelerator until the car feels like it will creep, release foot brake and hand brake at the same time as planting the lead foot.

point, shoot.

dont worry about tyre pressures, oils are just like a service do it if it needs doing. otherwise, have fun.

Yeap, get it staged, then plant your foot as hard as you can on the brake and then apply accelerator until the car creeps slightly then back off, once the thrid yellow goes out, remove brake and plant accelerator, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

We'll have to start a "Drag Times" thread soon, just for you, remember to keep your best timeslip of the comp and scan it :)

Oh and Get some video please :P

      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.
