Mild steel cage? Bugger about the side intrusion bars being the way they are...otehrwise i would have almost handed over the cash straight :)

Yeah it is made from mild steel. I know that there is regs on how many bars etc and where they have to be to be Cams approved but what they are I don't know. The car is still out at Jason White (Lambo driver in Targa) workshop who built the cage and the doors etc are still off it so I can't see it being to hard to modify the side intrusion bars. If you are interested let me know what you want changed and I will see what he thinks it will cost and we can negotiate. Ph 0409004259

hahaha @ the speed stuff you do - how is that more dangerous that coming into a corner with a 170 km/h entry sideways and keeping your foot into it while banging the steering on full lock ;)

I have a 4 point rollcage, the top bar is a seperate peice so there is no bends, only two where it bends to the contour of the rear window. It is the approved thickness and has been padded. Made by KSP engineering in Japan.

Yeah they DO NOT pass cams regs but we all race non-speed events. I am sure the rules will change soon and all our jap cages will need removing.....(as ther is now way in hell of them getting approval) i will go see the boys at MEIDIAN motorsport for our new weld in.

The rules already state you cat run them, even for non-speed events. Teh rules say if you run a cage, then it must comply. The loophole at the moment is that it says the Stewards of the meeting may allow you to run. Once they realise they are the ones accepting the liability for letting you run then it will quickly change. There are already some folk (Snr Stewards etc) that are pretty vocal on this front. Its a good thing they are not needed to run the drift days etc...otherwise the change may be happening quicker then some competitors would like.

    • 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.
    • 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.
