Hey all,

As some of you know I missed last weekends Winton round due to an expected arrival, and I wasn't disappointed despite it happening a day later!

At 7am Sunday morning my wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing in at 7lb 5oz and 52cm long. Both bubs and mum are doing well and are expected to leave hospital this Thurs. As you can imagine both my wife and I are wrapped, and even more so we now have a pidgeon pair which is more than we could've hoped for. We named her Courtney Leah.

It was a bit of a rush to get to hospital as my wife was having major contractions on the way and we arrived with only 20-30mins to spare....as a result I am almost 100% sure that I have made a donation to the state coffers :) but if I had to do it again I would given the circumstances! Anyway the doc is writing a letter on my behalf so I will see how I go.

-Ant.

Thanks guys and I will pass on your wishes to Nat.

All the best for the impending birth Snowie....being so close I didn't think you would make it to WA :whistling:

Lol James...we've pretty much decided that this is our quota so a procedure is imminent,after that I won't have to worry about keeping it in my pants....and depending who is going under the knife I may not have that urge to hump visitors legs anymore :)

Hehehe Scott....thats what cousins are for and the plus side is you don't have to clothe and feed them >_<

Cheers Paul....be sure to point Lauren in the direction of the thread so she can see the new arrival.

aww so cute!!

Zach looks like a very happy big brother >_<

My best wishes to you & your family.

So it looks like you won't be getting any more than about 4 hrs sleep for a while :)

Don't do anything drastic, I bet you'll change your mind in a few years when they're a bit older and annoy you constantly, and you wish they were cute, quiet little babies again. :whistling:

Lol....thanks guys.

congrats mate. time to get those pit crew jackets mits and boots made up.

Hahaha are you offering to knit them :(

so did you take the GTR to the hospital... haha 7,000rpm clutch dump into the hospital car park to handbrake turn in the ambulance driveway was totally necessary officer lol

While I did consider that for a sec the fact that leather is easier to clean than cloth (in regard to the passenger seat) and Nat would've had to wait until I had warmed her up didn't go in the R's favour :)

Only i think Brisberella would have been a beautiful name for a little girl.

Now thats a name....where were you when Nat and I were trying to decide on names?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
