what else ya gunna do?

it'd be un-Australian not to go :P

Shaun.. better rsvp soon! I just checked the thread, and there are under 10spots left. I've read that they have put aside 10 spots for the bikes and the cars have the remaining 40spots.

I could be interested however, the track standard might be a bit high. That said, if people think I could "hack" the track, I will happily go for it.

lol

Don't worry!!! I'll be there to bring the standard down a bit. lol.

I would have really liked to make it back there to see how the car goes now it handles better but I have settlement that w/e. It was nice to drive a track that was more technical than others and also how layed back the day was. Oh well next time I'll be there!

Recommended to anybody thinking about it.

I see there is now some Elise's, some GT3's and a GT2 on the list as well (apparently).

I was thinking of changing my mind and finding another time to go but it's becoming a mightily interesting list of entrants.

Unfortunately we haven't been able to get Sutton Rd for this weekend so there will be another Wakefield trip to NSW early in the New Year run in conjunction with a Sutton Rd event but we are waiting for the NSW people to recover from their hangover and get the dates sorted.

With the Calder park WRX championship round the weekend before, this will be interesting to see if a) my car will be ready in time for Jan 20th and b) if i break something at calder, preventing me from coming to Wakefield

Afternoon Kids!

I've just received a PM from Autosports saying they are now chasing payments and they'd like to tie up payments by the end of the week.

Should be an awesome day!!! So if you want to reserve your spot, you MUST pay now!

I hope to see you there!

Hey guys, I was thinking of bringing the Evo down but was wondering how far is the drive from Melbourne?

From memory it is about 6 hours of driving but took around 8 with breaks/fuel stops etc.

Not sure, depends if i get some "issues" sorted at the moment.

But if its not ready, i will be dead... so its me or the car by Jan 07.

Just wondering if anyone has seen Ash since Sunday night?

Was talking to Bec today about this, is there a final consensus on this as I have the Thursday booked off but will make other plans if people arent going? :)

Guys, im in the process of doing a weekend of thrashing up here that you guys can come to, it includes a DECA style day, and a day at Wakefield (or i can sort Oran Park but thats harder)

Im being held up by the ACT government not choosing their exact dates for the ACT rally - due to a clause in a lease agreement one of the places we're going to use arent allowed to accept bookings until the rally dates are booked first

So my hands are tied.....for now :)

By all means go up for this trip (afterall, 2 trips is better than one) - but for the guys that miss out, ill make it well known when ive organised my one so you guys all have enough notice etc to get time off work etc

For those that weren't aware the majority of us are no longer going up for this.

However if you have paid it is still on and you can still attend.

Stay tuned for another SAU road trip to wakefield soon! So much fun.

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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?

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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?
