So how are people finding this swap?

Worth the effort in the long run, even though it's a quick mod?

I went for a hard cornering/braking drive later in the evening when virtually no cars around to see if i can justify doing this.

I didnt find myself generating enough inertia to make it too hard for me to move the shiftter back and forth 5-10cm.

Then again, any car I've jumped in, whether it be manual column/floor shift or the current tiptronic, ive never had issue

changing gears under hard braking or conering.

Maybe if I was in a car braking from 300kmh (F1, Group A) to generate enough inertia.

I dont think inertia is the issue for our cars, just personal preference. I am finding it more natural, maybe its a hangover from my years spent in the arcades playing sega rally and daytona USA...and also my PS3 wheel is set that way, so ill be keeping it.

When i first got the Stag I found myself having to think about the direction, and sometimes I went the wrong way when I wasnt concentrating. I should happen without thinking, which seems to be the case now.

I am very happy with the change. I find it much more natural pulling back to change up gears.

When accelerating it is a much shorter movement to take may hand from the wheel and pull back.

Anyway, I like it so mine is also staying.

Thanks for doing the hard work tracing the wires Chook (or whoever it was that looked them up originally :bunny:) I just did this swap tonight and I really wish I had've done it ages ago... now it is how it *should* have been. But, they got pretty much everything else on the car pretty spot-on, so I can't complain :D

      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)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
