We'll all get in. Saturday will be half empty (it always is) and they have a big field on the Sunday (120 usually - remember they send out 24 cars on the track at once with PIARC).

Over the 2 days you'll get plenty of clean laps but there will also be a few laps of door to door fun to be had as well with fields like this. Especially since PIARC don't group cars according to lap times so you can get some big differences in speeds (but we can all put our names down in the same group so it is no big deal).

And good luck getting Benno to PI even though it is a Sunday and so he has no excuse. Maybe if we all say his muscles are under developed (or at least the important ones are) we might be able to coax him into it. But I'm not saying it cause I still need him to look after my car :thumbsup:

I'm sure the car could do it. The problem is all you northern franginpani loving poofs are so used to driving around on your dinky little racetracks with tops speeds of 87km/hr that you aren't going to know what to do when you run out of revs in 3rd.

But I'll help you out Pete. Just remember the advise you gave me at Wakefield and use it at PI. "Keep it flat through turn 1 and you'll be right. If you lift off you are a poof." :dry:

LOL...you havent seen the footage of Fatz at "The Ring" ? I think most corners were flat ! :sick:

That, combined with my understandign of how much he loves his piss, especially when its free. Well he wont let a little thing like lack of willing car stop him from being showered with free beer for his display of lunacy. Not like Victorians, who like being showered in other things golden...farkin twisted units! :dry:

So, how fast through turn one, with and without 2/4wd/ aero aids? Seriously, but I doubt anyone goes more than 200, the rest is piss and wind :rofl:

Aero aids? Farkin Geezus...what? Fast enough that the id blow through the wall on the infield as easily as my troopers punch through a prophylactic :rant:

BTW - You're all a bunch of girls.

Especially you Bris!

Hope you have a healthy back! Because your going to be doing plenty of bending over picking up your teeth after this girl knocks them out :(

Depends how big your balls are...

4wd doesn't help you get around the corner any faster, it just helps you get out of the corner faster... the rest is in grip and suspension. On street tyres you may do 170-180 entry, on R comps, probably 190-200+ - like i said, how big are your nuts?

Im bringing the trolley jack and stands. So that means GTR drivers should bring armed security. Turn your backs for a second and your cars will lose the front driveshafts and an AFM will probably be unplugged as well.

Or my old favourite. When you have parked your buckets after the first session i will poor some oil under your cars so you all shit yourselves and park it for the day. This day shall be mine i tell you...MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread has to be one of the most entertaining one on the forums!!!!

I'll definetly be there for this, but probably only the Sunday, don't need the Saturday practice... :)

Go Jack and this is going to be the biggest track day in Australia ever for GTR's and others. How many sleeps left???

I can't wait. Hey Jack I will follow you to learn this track which I have been playing over in my mind since I was there in Easter. I will then give it the button on the straight with the boost turned right up this time. I reckon with good condition and the bigger rear wheels and suspension geometry mods and more I will be 45's or better.

John - we'll see if we can get Frank and Kennedy down who have both run in the 43's before (both R33 GT-R's). But I'm also going to be gunning for 45's.

Also mate - we're coming up to Wakefield and EC on November 8th and 9th respectively.

      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

      By Marek · Posted

      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
