Hey peeps :wave:

Just wondering if any SAUer's will be at summernats this year ? :huh:

Its will be our first summernats ever as moving to this state has made it possible to actually go :w00t:

I know it is very V8 orintated and can be a bit harsh on the girls but I am purely there to have a great time and see some "phat" cars :yes: what ever make/model they might be ;)

We will be going down just for the weekend e.g Friday night thru to Sunday as didnt plan well enough this year to be there the whole 4 days >_< lol

So hope to see some sau peeps and maybe even some "phat" nissan there :O:laugh:

Yup im the same i'll be there Sat + Sun or.. until my body cant stand the sunburn any longer. I usually just drive down myself on friday arvo to Goulborn to stay at my parents house then drive my work van down early sat morning and sleep in the back sunday nite in some desserted area then go back sunday for the burnouts and another dose of sunburn.

Regardless of the amount of v8's it really is a fantastic car enthusiast show with more and more jap cars becoming involved (although not as many as you find on the streets of Braddon late at night hehe).

The whole chick thing is (unfortunately) dieing down. I wouldn't have taken a chick within 10km of the place 3 or 4 years ago but these days plenty of middle aged families are going with their young kids and dont have any problems. If you dress for the occassion and not for the attention and dont wander around in groups of girls you are pretty much alright.

Im unsure how spectacular the event will be this time around due to the major accident last event caused by the drifters running over some people in the crowd on the sat nite main event. Expect security ever 10m stopping any driver that even remotely looks like they are going to do something stupid. Why they dont just make the cruise route 1 way with heaps and heaps of safety barriers allowing drivers to do what they want to do is beyond me.

Can't wait...

I haven't been since the early 90's. I hear it's a lot tamer these days in terms of crowd behaviour. Any hassles you get for liking one particular car or another is most likely to be done in a friendly bantering sort of way.

If I go this time I will definitely be wearing something SAU related.

Have you guys got your accomodation organised?

Generally speaking the women walking around with guys wont get picked on, or only in a friendly way if at all. But chicks walking around in groups wearing short skirts and tight tops, good luck.

If you havent already organised accommodation, forget about it.. you are about 6mths too late.

      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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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
