Hey all just thought id mention the new parts shop opening in Hobart. Right in town. Watchorn street, little one wayer that runs from liverpool to bathurst. Anyway i went up for a look today but hasnt quite opened yet. Its called... SLIP & GRIP RACEGEAR.

From what ive heard from a bloke whos been in the shop already they have some pretty good gear. They will be the dealer down here for KTS suspension i know that much. Dont Know the name of the guy whos opening/owning but no doubt someone on here will. Did a search and doesnt seem like anyone has mentioned it on here yet so ill start the Hype :)

Anyone know anymore about this...

I spoke to an old school mate a while ago and he is opening the store.

He has quite a lot of knowledge in the import scene and is really having a crack!

I hope people support him, We can never have to many businesses like this around!

I wish him all the best. (Used to live with Dave and Sam Murray in Kingo - Tim Brown) some of you would know him.

Pretty sure we already do, my condolences to whoever goes bust first. A town the size of Hobart can't support 3+ Import specific parts retailers.

And we all know none of them will go close to matching the prices you can buy stuff online for (e.g. via perfectrun etc).

However, good luck to them, personally in this instance I would LOVE to be wrong and see them all prosper.

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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.
