Kim or Luke - can we get another thread going with regards to the High Performance Course on the 23rd of November. I'm definately keen and got a mate at work with a 34 GT-T keen as well. Do we get a spot like the last one or just send in the form soon?

yep, will do. i just have to recover from all the administrative stuff involved with setting up the last track day! Luke and i will post up something soon.

thanks for all your positive feedback - i'm glad that you all had a great time and got some useful tips from the experience. Nov 23 will take things up several notches so i'm sure that you'll enjoy access to the full high speed circuit for the day. i hope to have my track car out for that event or might have something completely different by then. three months isn't that far away!

cheers - Kim

Yep, had an awesome time out there. Thanks a bunch for organising it Kim - the day ran like clockwork!

Thanks for the comments from other guys - yes it was bad planning to have so much damn work to do the night before, but it was the price I had to pay for taking the day off. Well worth it though and managed a solid 11 hours sleep last night to make up for it :D

Yeah David/writeoff, of course I wasn't going to leave anyone stranded out there :D .... what sort of mod/father figure do you think I am? Also note the Luke/Heslo stayed there with me until the very end, so he did his Daddy duties well too :D

I will have my new car for the next one, so will see how she goes on the track.

Photos here (click)

If anyone is concerned about their plates showing let me know and I will black them out. Couldn't be stuffed renaming all the photos, but I am pretty sure I left viewer editing on, so feel free to rename them if you wish. I resized them for internet/upload reality, but if anyone wants high-res ones, let me know - most high res pics are 8Mp so weigh in at around 2.5Mb each.

Nice pics Andrew, would love to grab all of them hi-res off of ya. Mind putting them on a CD for me pretty please?

Good to see David got home nice and safe, fouled plug(s) in the end yes?

Who said I was under 20km/h? Pretty sure the car is warmed down enough already when I'm like freezing my tits off :D

Scandy did afterwards (he was joking at the time). I was just shit-stirring Vu. No offence was intended. :D I didn't even see the incident so have no idea what happened.

Besides my view is that if you didn't spin at least once then you obviously weren't trying hard enough... at least that the excuse I'm using for my spin. :D

I managed to top out at 164km/h with my 200kw (boost set to 12psi).

My brake pedal was consistant all day, even after the 6 laps at the end of the day. I'm running RDA slotted discs up front with QFM A1RM pads and some unique autosports front brake air deflectors, nismo crossdrilled discs on the rear with genuine nissan pads and BMW dot4 fluid in the system (barely a week or 2 old), also have a Cusco brake cylinder master stopper as well.

Maybe its time to try the QFM brake pads....so far everyone i have spoken to that have been on the track recommend them so will chuck some in for the next track day.....

Epic failed are those f**king tossbag f**king wankstains f**king criticizing how I want to f**king drive on a f**king race track where your meant to f**king learn how the car behaves and learn driving techniques and shit and have a f**kING FUN TIME aswell.

f**king.

Come on guys... Enough now! Vu, I'm sure that what had been said was just shit stirring, I don't think the intent was to rile you up, take it easy bud! :D

Answered for Vu's quote

i had my moments but didnt spin....caught it on the last second stuff you know....

Krishy I would have thought your brake fluid would more likely be the culprit of your spongy pedal. What fluid were you using, and when was the last time you changed and bled it? Of course pads will help, but fluid is the most important imho.

i had PBR 500 or whatever fluid its called....replaced it a fair while ago so i am thinking that it most likely was the fluid.....well better knowledge for next time i guess

Once it's boiled it's useless, but even when it hasn't been boiled, over time the lines take on water and the boiling point is lowered alot. Just get about 2l-3l of cheap fluid and flush that through before next track day, will do a better job than old brake fluid even if the existing stuff is good like Motul RBF600.

PBR is cheap shit, use some good fluid like Motul RBF660

    • 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
