Nice choice Bobby.

Whilst your car is nice, I think the black one the better car.

Best of luck!

Get some pics up when you get the rims on it too. It will look sensational.

Thanks mate,

I think this black one is just a much better all round sports car, where as my auto was more a cruising car.

Yes I know they're the same car with the same engine, but the transmission and the brakes just do it for me.

Will definitely get some pics up once the wheels are on. I'm actually thinking of going for some TE37's now, but will wait till i get these first and see how they look.

Well, all i can say is WOW.

I sold my 05 auto on Tuesday, flew up to Sunshine coast Wed morning, picked up the 04 manual and drove back to Sydney, arrived this morning.

The, "wow" part is on how different the manuals are to the auto's. I can't believe how much quicker they feel. This of course could be just my perception but man are they great to drive.

The car seems to be in fine condition, and didn't skip a beat doing 1100k's in less than a day. The most surprising part was how much it just wants to pull and pull. In sixth gear doing 120, you can tap the accelerator and the thing throws you back and hits 160 in a blink.

Features wise, the car has full Nismo shocks/springs, Fujitsubo exhaust (i think including the Y pipe)Front lip, one of earth grounding wire kit thingys, sunroof and all the other premium goodies except for the Nav. It also has the auto fold down side mirrors when reversing which will help keep that damn gutter rash away.

It also seems to have an upgraded clutch but this is just cause I don't think the stocker would be so harsh/grippy.

All in all I am one very rapt owner of my new, slightly older 6MT V35, and really can't get over the fact at how different a car it is to the auto.

I clocked my auto a 1:21 around Wakefield so can't wait till it cools down to do a few laps in this one. I should do quite a bit better, with the better suspension, wheels, Brembo's and the manual tranny. In the auto's defence, I took it very very easy as didn't want to overheat the gearbox.

Bed time now. :-)

glad you're enjoying your new ride. the manual is quite different from the auto. as for the clutch, i may be wrong but i think that's standard. takes a while to get used to but a couple of days drive in traffic will help you get used to it.

looks like a really nice car. has anyone gone over 185 kph on this thing? just wondering because the speedo seems a bit limited to 180-190 although the car certainly feels like it will go beyond that easily.

      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
