That is so great that there is such a age gap? that appreciate the skyline. I was always under the impression that it was mainly the younger people that where interested in this car. WOW 18 to 50 didn't know it was so broad.

Yep I'm 54 later this month.

So far I've owned

S54

C110

C211

R30

R31

R32

R33

R34

V35

OK I've been a Skyline tragic for 35 odd years before they became trendy

Last few posts have upped the average

Turned "60" in April - still a couple of yrs younger than Jim Richards & still can't see myself driving an auto.

Can't afford an R35 import for a while yet anyhow. :P

So yeh, I was born in the 1st half of last century - just!

For a lark, I've sometimes contemplated walking across the road towards my car holding a white cane & wearing dark sunnies >

Then I'd shock the living daylights out of the onlookers driving a car like this :wub:

Datsun 1600 was my 1st car "new"; then,

Datsun 180B "used"

Ford Escort Van "Pharmacy Van"

Datsun 240K "new"

Alfetta GTV 2l. "new"

Sigma SE "used"

Volvo 245GL "new" to keep the family safe; but still got booked by police in light aircraft over Woodford

Skyline R31 Silhouette "new"

Mazda 929 "used"

Maxima G "used"

Alfa Romeo 164Q "used"

Skyline R33 GT-R (midnight purple)

Honda Prelude 5th Gen "used"

BMW 328Ci "used" + N13 Pulsar (daily)

Skyline R34 GT-R (pearl black) + Prelude 4th Gen (daily)

BTW, for the record, there were 2 guys older than me at the R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary Drive; which made me feel better :P

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • 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.
