NSW guys, looks like the NSW Texikahna is on the 16th September, what does everyone think of crusing down to this as a meet. I'm thinking of entering, just not sure how an auto will do on a motorkahna track.

Any thoughts

I'm still keen, even though I don't own a V35.

Also, anyone in Sydney interested in going to the JDM Style Tuning meet? Should be pretty big (its just a meet and greet, no actual driving) but since I don't think there's ever been a V35 at a meet for a forum for all types of JDM cars I can only imagine how much attention your cars will get.

Thread resurrection.

I've posted an EOI, on 350Z-Tech, for the next cruise. Was thinking mid next month, to give people plenty of advanced warning.

If you guys have any suggestions, I wouldn't mind seeing them either. The pace will not be overly frenetic, but it will be on driver's roads and not just from one carpark in suburbia though the metropolitan area to another carpark in another suburb.

Very keen as well. in the middle of building a house which eats up most weekends, but unless it's something urgent I'll be there.

As for routes, haven't done any in a long long time so I'm up for anything. Bells is great so happy to do that.

Also, anyone interested in a Wakefield private track day for Nissan FM platform cars?

The guys on Tech are raring to go, and it'd be interesting to see the difference between the two cars.

Definately interetsed, but i don't think my auto would be a good groud for comparison :-)

It will be spanked all over the track. Some of the times you guys are posting on tech are damn quick.

My best lap in my V35 is 1:20:xx.

Hopefully I'll get to whack in a second oil cooler for the tranny which will give me a bit more confidence.

Quite a few of those guys have gotten pretty "serious" about track work, and the Z33 has traditionally been more of the sports car than the GT-oriented Skyline. The fact that the Z's been in Australia since 2003 means people have had far more time to set them up too.

But, its about having fun. I was thinking about not running timing so people could just go out and enjoy themselves, but I get the feeling people will still want to know how fast they're going.

OK, official 350Z-Tech cruise details are up.

http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/index.php?...=32472&st=0

It is a dawn run, to avoid as much traffic for as long as possible while not doing it in the middle of the night.

The problem with not running it early is that you hit traffic. If I was going to cruise through the metropolitan area only then yeah, I'd run it a lot later. But with the roads we're taking, I'm trying to avoid as many tourists as possible.

I will probably arrange a shorter-length, lunch-oriented, cruise as well in the near future. So maybe a 10:00 start, and with a plan to be at the destination by midday. If someone on here arranges it and is happy to have the "other" FM platform car tag along, then I'll let the Tech guys know and I'm sure they'll be up for it.

Thanks Alan:

No offence, I just felt sad as I am not able to attend, the meet point is too far away from my place.

I had drive to Mt Vicotria with my V35 last month, just a weekend to ZigZag, Had to say that is a realy good drive.

The only problem is the surface of road is poor and so much road noise drive me crazy.

BTW, there is an outstand ITALY resturant on the way with sign: "Wooden oven pizza" or something, stronger recommanded for lunch really nice

Thanks mate. I'll go look for it when I recce run, either tomorrow morning or Monday morning.

The guys have been raring at the bit to go out for a spirited drive, hence the time. I might arrange something a bit gentler and thus a bit later in the day, especially now that we're heading into summer and people might want to do lunch up (or down) the coast.

Arrange a V35 meet, and invite us ;)

I recce ran it yesterday. The open, flowing nature of the roads really suits our cars. Its something you can leave in top gear and effortlessly "waft" on the midrange. Yeah, the surface wasn't ideal though.....and it wasn't much better going to Oberon.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
