KowP - I suggest u stop bagging Sunny's :( I still have mine! In fact I drive it almost everyday day to work and back (1hr drive - one way)

Tis a lovely silver beast thats never missed a beat. Was my first car ......in fact the damn thing will prolly outlast me!

My first car exploded...complete with fireball and stuff...it was a proton persona. Started from the battery compartment somehow. Insurance company labeled it under 'disaster'...it took them a while to think of that. Luckily the car died quite a while before it caught fire. Didn't hit anyone, just died on me n exploded.

'88 Laser...sold it to a little old lady :(

she brought a male friend along to check it out, and he commented how it had good tread.... the tyres were nearly bald!! I just agreed and kept my mouth shut lol :)

I used to still see it heaps after i sold it cos she worked at a Harvey Norman near my work :) She even left the surfie sticker i had on it lol

my first REAL CAR..had some before but P.O.S..

was my r30 which i just sold *wait for it* $500 2.4 ltr 5 speed in alright nick,300zx mags,just a sad day and its gunna be sold unless i can find a buyer near A.C.T willing to change my mind $$$..

My first car was a 1979 Toyota Carolla SE. the thing went hard at first, but when you had to have 2 guys hold you back in the gravel to do a burnout, there is something wrong there.

then a ford laser 84 sports, then a nonturbo silvia. and finally the best car, a SKYLINE! :):D

1978 TE Cortina, fieces brown 4 speed manual. Never ended up getting registered but served as an excellent get-around-in-the middle-of-the-night-in-a-country-town kind of car. Was sold to bogan for panels for his stacked 250 Cross Flow Cortina, also featured in fieces brown.

Then:ZA (I think) Fairlane 302, also never registered

1979 Sigma Wagon, complete with Dukes of Hazard Racing stripes and 69 on the bonnet. Many a road trip.

1993 VP Crapadore V6, fried the auto with mates holding up the back to do a burnout.

1993 Silvia Qs, why I didnt just get a turbo I dont know?

1997 Fairmont Ghia, Tickford susp and kit, Simmons rims, was a tag job though

1993 R33 200kws at rears

1987 AE82 Corolla

1993 R33, should have just kept the old one...

1989 R32 GTR sitting Japan awaiting DOTARS ruling on 15 Year rule.

    • 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?
