I had a blast yesterday apart from the weather, car issues and it being freezing.

It was a great day a big thanks to the Peter and Adam for getting it happening for us.

I started the day off really poorly with getting the car back together at 3 in the morning then it would start on the day, got it sorted and arrived a little late. The first few runs I had issues selecting gears and made as small pedal adjustment to give more clutch bite. Ran a few more times and laid down a few high 12's. Everything was running well so dialled in the N20. Ran a 12.337 then a 12.028 off a 6k launch with a 1.654 60 footer. I was pumped I retuned the nitrous jets for a 100 shot and was ready to run that 11. Thats when the bracket racing started and unfortunately the rain too so it was all over.

It was great to meet a few more SAU people and put faces to forum names etc, gotta get some of those ARC winglets Baron look cool.

Adam you should of told me about your car, I could have dropped my car off at home ( 15 minutes away) then picked up yours and taken you both home, I didnt even realise or know you had an issue with the driveshaft thats a real shame you were running very well.

      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)

      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.
