.....Eastern Creek will be great when we get there.

Couldn't agree less John, moving it to Eastern Creek will make it a straight out, billiard table flat, drag race for the biggest hp (ie biggest budget) to win. At least Oran Park is a real driver challenge and rewards some bravery.

Plus, if they move to EC the JB class will disappear overnight as he only ends up with 6 or 7 cars to drive.

n1 gtr, i faxed the form and paid the moneys on friday 13 march. havent recieved pack yet.

back on topic, easy, have it at both... this will give the little cars and the big cars a run..

as i recall... the m sports gtr is a monster and took out the time attack at tsukuba (which is almost dead flat) with a 55.230, it was followed closely by an evo, and 3rd was an rx7.. so i dont think it will be a flat out drag race.. ec has a few mounds, and a few turns. to keep it competitive we may have to break up the cars a little more.. turboed 4wds, turboed 2wds, na's and what not... but thats only for winning.

as far as spectators, ec is much better

I am not sure about EC being an outright hp track?!?! Yeh, sure the hp works better there, but the straight is pretty short and there are no real other blasts other then out of turn 9. The rest is flowing, albeit pretty high speed so a bit of power is going to help. But i dont think EC will give dramatically different results to OP. LOL a place like Sandown or Calder would, as i give away 3 seconds to a car i am quicker then through the corners on the two straights....it is frustrating :wacko:

Agree with Roy. EC is more open and flowing. Seems to reward cars that can carry good speed through long, higher speed corners, compared to OP that rewards cars that can accellerate out of short slow corners. I don't think EC would favour AWD cars quite so much as OP.

nah I'm with dundan. forget EC. keep doing OP till they bulldoze it. don't worry, once all we have left is EC you'll be sick of it soon enough. make the most of what we have while we still have it. :wacko:

I don't get the local's dislike of EC. If you want to see a boring horsepower track, try QR! Why can't they bulldoze that track?

lol, I don't neccesarily agree with dundan that it's all horsepower at EC, but I do agree that oran is better. and since it's got a very finite life we might as well use it while it's still here. cause when it's gone we'll have plenty of time to run around EC. though having said that EC is about to get fked over too, so that they can have lots of small dicky, stupid layouts that make them many more moneys. hmmm might have to move to victoria after all... what's the weather like down there??!

Cold.

Wet.

Miserable.

meh to cold,wet and miserable. I like Melbourne weather...except for when its cold, wet and miserable :nyaanyaa:

But, weather isnt a concern, i did more wet days in NSW then i have done in Vic

i'm coming brisby! at least with us two handsome, talented NSW boys in melbourne the local girls will have some eye candy to look at and some of the VIC lap records will get re-set. good times. I can live with cold and wet. my euro blood means to me anything above 15 deg C is 'hot'.

if it rains we can go to bar20

Last time I looked we where in a 7 year drought and Sydney was swimming in rain. :(

Its drier down here than up there and Turbos work better when its cool. :(

AND we got better tracks down here. I reckon Superlap at Winton or Phillip island would be great.

But if we went to PI all the electric toothbrush equipped 4wd cars would have way less advantage on a fast, flowing circuit. :P

IMO Superlap Phillip Island would be the ultimate.

Maybe I am biased but no other track here in Australia compares to PI.

Must be a way to make it happen. and soon.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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
