you are aksing for trouble taking the gtr to the snow. we went in a TT forister and it was still a bit sketchy. while we were driving i was thinking about how dangerous it would have neeb in my skyline with the mechanical 2 way.

there were a few cars nearly coming off the road.

just hire a commondore or a little 4wd. it will be cheaper than something happening to the gtr.

cheers

I went to Hotham for the first time at the bebining of September and arrived in a full blizzard. It is an intersting road to drive and certainly one to be carefull on. I was driving a M35 Stagea and I just kept the car in Syncro and Snow mode which locks the front rear split and dulls the throttle response.

It is a tricky road to drive.

Watch out next year for a new chain made of cloth. Sounds wierd but I know the importer and he is currently getting the product approved. It is great because there is no metal to damage your car. I can say exactly how it works but it is basically a cloth that goes over the wheel. It is approved by all the European countries under their Chains standards requirements. Interestingly enough there is no Australian standard to pass.

Have fun at Hotham skiing.....

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Stagea identification?

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
