Thats very tough :P What numbers did it put down in the end? When is this bad boy going to be making its debut?

Will post up a few more vids from the other day when we introduced a wet shot of NOS at SIKEM WREX RACING - spooled her up nice on the stall, still doing a little fine tunning , spose that never stops.

Should hit the track soon.

Here are a few pics of the Carbon Splitter / Fibreglass diffuser that John at STEANO - ROTA OZ can supply. It was easy to fit to the existing lip as the holes all line up well.

The product has a carbon lip - splitter and light weight glass diffuser that go's back under.

I was surprised at the quality and how light it was.

A BIG thanks John and the boys at .STEANO - ROTA OZ

hey Dave so what was the results from the sunday test and tune, i seen it run and was wondering the plans for the next event?

I came up to say hello a couple of times and check out the car but you were busy talking to others. I heard the bit about forgetting to use the nos on the first run and i assume you forgot to put it in 4wd for the last run? smoked up well though :) It seems to take a long time to spool up on the transbrake too, is there an issue or is it just the size of the turbo?

Who did the fibreglass doors and what are they worth?

cheers mate, im keen to see it at the next event.

1st pass was just a stage and drive away, the second pass was supposed to be a launch to 60ft but we forgot to open the nos bottle so no spool on the brake so we had to repeat it on the 3rd pass which was ok, 4th pass was supposed to be full pass but dave rolled thru the lights after they started the count down so it was a non event but it did launch pretty hard lifting the fronts. The final pass for the day you were right he forgot to switch the 4wd on so it just smoked hard 1st and 2nd. It was taking a long time to get on the stall which is probably my fault for setting the nos to activate at 95% + throttle but forgot to tell dave he had to have his foot on the floor. Dave was just taking it easy so didnt have his foot flat so nos wasnt activating. They let to many cars run on the day which was supposed to be a test and tune and half the cars and bikes there had run the previous night and were just out there to have some runs. At one stage we sat in the staging lanes for over 1 1/2 hours. Hopefully be back at the track soon to finish off licensing. We were happy with the car and dave is getting used to actually driving the car an getting into a routine.

Spot on Smiley - hey no biggy, it was TEST and TUNE and that we did. Felt great, launched straight with minimal torque steer so far and no major issues on the day.

Changed the flex plate today with a decent yella terra one so that will do the trick, fixed a little oil leak and a couple of other minor adjustments.

Overall i'm very happy with her first day out, big believer in taking it greasy at first to get a feel for it before going mental, like taking a woman out for the first time i suppose. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the team effort - "Smiley" DATSQIK HARDCORE JAP ENGINES - "TIMBO" SIKEM REX RACING and CLINT AND BELINDA.

congrats for the first 9 sec pass today and a 9.0 at that on a half pass isnt a bad effort at all :laugh: Pity i didnt come down, my old man came home and told me all about it as he said he was having a chat to you dave and smiley regarding a few things (he was crewing on the funny car team).

I cant wait to get out there as well, mines getting closer by the day :) hopefully the ppg box holds up.

Also that NPC clutch you sold me, was that just an off the shelf twin plate item with the different splines or a custom made unit? Im looking to order more clutch plates and want to get the same type as the thing drives soo nice yet handles a shitload of power :laugh:

    • 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
