my car, destroyed by an evil saab, has gone to the great nismo garage in the sky... sorry no pics yet but will endeavour to have 'em up asap.

i was coming down commercial rd on tuesday at about 6 and went to turn right into porter st. i moved into the intersection and the light went amber. one car raced through and another (the saab) behind it slowed to stop... or so i thought.

i began to turn and *crunch*. the saab basically t-boned me at 50kmh. scared the sh*t out of the gf who was in the passenger seat.

insurance info swapped, companies called, car inspected, determined a write-off and i'm now waiting for a cheque for about $8k (less my excess of course).

off to check out the classifieds...

"i din't get sh*t"

i said i wanted to make a claim and they aksed if i was ok. i said i was callin' from the morgue...

they told me f**k all. i had to ask 'em everything, if i didn't ask they didn't tell. took 3 days from reporting to the car getting towed (was at my place). i had to prompt the guy to ask for the other drivers details.

better not take so long to get my cheque!!!

it arrived with an aftermarket exhaust and the owner put on 15" roh wheels. i didn't do anything to it.

i have seen a few advertised at around 6k though... depressing for all silvia owners huh? sooo glad i had it insured at agreed value or i'd be getting royally screwed now...

    • 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
