Good example of a launch/drag testing on a dyno is the one of the evo with anti-lag.. it's on youtube.. i'll see if I can dig it up

I believe they only have RWD dyno's though @ Drag Tag - is that correct?

State of the art, 4WD Dyno Dynamics units - 3 of :D

2/ What the? Absolutely no vested interest in it at all. I'm simply speaking from the perspective of someone that has done it numerous times and has more of an insight into the idea than someone guessing or theorising about what it's probably like.

The fact that the magazine you work for has hefty advertising of DragTag and that they "probably" made some arrangement where you get to have a few goes, in return for some magazine space and/or a good report on the experience is not at all creating a biased view? :D

Drag Tag haven't advertised in Extreme for many months. If it wasn't good fun and if it didn't have huge potential, I wouldn't say it did. Jase, when have you known me to bight my tongue if I thought something was a shit-house idea?

I got to have a few goes at the drag racing and circuit racing concept on a visit to Melbourne to cover a car show event and shoot a couple of cars for work. We neither reported on our experiences in the magazine or ran any advertising for them because of it. It's just a good thing to get in to, especially in a state as starved for racing as VIC.

Wheel angle sensing lasers point at the front wheels - just the same as the RWD or FWD setup.

But you cant really turn the wheels left/right when the front wheels are on the dyno rollers can you?

The brackets are only on the rear but believe me, it takes a seriously powered GTR to fry the fronts on the dyno in this situation. Your car has its own profile in the system before you race which incorporates the weight of the vehicle, the drag coefficient (based on the front windscreen angle) etc which all plays into the math for the simulation.

      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.

      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
