Parent's have been bugging me for idea's on things to get me for christmas and after a bit of thnking i thought a helmet would be a good idea as i need one if i wanna do the track day in January. Now it has to be ADR approved and reasonably cheap, i also want one thats open faced (better for vision in my opinion) now the only place i can think of off the top of my head is autosport on magill rd. Is there anywhere else thats possibly better priced?

Cheers in advance!

I bought mine at Gepps Cross Kart Mania - about $100. It is full face though - not sure if they have part face or not.

You might want to check, but I thought for Lala you have to have full face - it is a fire safe thing.

Any good motorcycle place will sell them. Make sure you try lots of different ones as different brands will fit you differently (thats a lot of different's) i find that Shoei's have always fitted my head the best so thats all I buy.

Also how much is your head worth? I personally would never get a cheaper brand even if they do meet ADR's but i ride motorbikes so i'm sure a helmet just for track days in a car a 100 dollar jobby would be fine.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.
