Was driving my R33GTR to get tuned today, going around a 65kph corner on a wet road doing about 100kph and the car let go pretty hard fish-tailing to the right for about 40m then fish-tailed to the left for about another 50m while staring at the roadbarrier about 30cm from the front/side of the car. scarey.

Dont know if the hicas saved me, or made it worse but nearlly shat myself.

Just goes to show that your not bullet proof in these cars aye.

I dont think its going to help that my mechanic is cranking the power up from 500hp to over 600 either.

oh well thought i would share that :)

yeah they can handle more power, but you really want to figure out what you want, i kinda miss the low down power of the factory turbos, the -5's are good to keep pulling all the way up the rev range.... no not yet down the quarter mile yet, been down the 1/8 mile and beat a GT4O, new supercharged shelby cobra etc

First thing first.

Your tyres were either cold or not suited for wet weather.

You may have also under-estimated dust or rocks in this corner, they don't help with grip.

Even a good set of wet weather tyres not warmed up will get you all messy in the wet.

The 4WS also has its down falls...giving you .sometimes a nasty kick to one side.

Unfortunately it is the side you are sliding towards......lol

And yes...just because your driving a GTR does not make you safe.

The car will bite you when you least expect it.

Drive safely until you get on a track with some sliding room......then you will see how good they are.

Oh the -5's need, cams, cam gears, larger injectors and better fuel pump.

Not to mention a a after market computer with a tuner that knows what he is doing to get a great response from.

-7's would have given up the puff a long time ago for me.

      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
