I was planning on having a crack at some straight line stuff tonight also, but saw the BOM website and said chance of storm so I passed!

Yeah I rode out there hoping to run... got to the gates at 5:15pm and got told the bad news :D

At least I'm only 15 minutes away from the track. There was another guy on a motorbike there.. he'd ridden down from Newcastle (2 hours). He then had to ride home in the pissing down rain.. poor bastard. It took him and I 30 minutes in traffic just to get to my place, I was soaked when I get home... hate to imagine how bad he'd be!!

You should try coming from Soldiers Point (Port Stephens) booking hotel for two nights (before and after trackday) only for the asswipes to call it off just because it rained the night before. It didnt rain all day, and then try to swindle us out of our entry fee as well. That sucks.

Had a good day at the Golden Slipper though to make up for it.

if you get there at 430 445 you should be near the start of the gates. go straight to sign in then scrutineering and hopefully should be one of the first ones to race.

and ring them up on the day to make sure it's not raining etc

I've been in the same boat. I was going to go with some mates but rained the day before, so they called it off.

Drag racers should harden the f**k up, and learn to race in the wet. Have the tyre guys develop a wet weather drag racing tyre.

If circuit racers can do it in open wheelers on near slicks because the skies opened up in the middle of a lap, surely drag racers can have a go too. If it rains during staging and they're on dry tyres, pull them off. If it rains in the middle, learn throttle modulation or back off.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
