I ran last weekend at the Symmons Plains 60th annaverary meet. Unfortunately after a good run the engine decided to throw a rod.  I've got the engine out but havn't pulled the sump off yet, I suspect

So it’s been over a year since an update. The first event last year was the Poatina Mountain Race, it was pretty much a 7km hill climb with the option for a navigator. I put my girlfriend in the sil

Did some tuning over the weekend. sorted a boost leak that made a bad noise at 17+ psi. After going over the logs from friday night, the car makes 16psi at 4000rpm. I've upped the boost to 19psi, but havn't done and tuning or logging on it yet.

Damo wasn't able to drive the car for more tuning today, so i knocked up a heatshield to keep the inlet cool

Should have the tuning finished this week, and then it's off to it's first supersprint on sunday

Well the car got it's first run on the track this weekend. I was pretty happy with how it went, only problem was a pertty bad shudder though the steering wheel after the brakes heated up, i'm hoping it's just the pads going through there first heat cycle. They are Endless ccx that came with the calipers, and from a quick glance at the net, other people have had the same problem with the stoptech/ccx combo. I recon I'll put some hawks into them.

The car is very easy to drive, and we only just touched the surface of the shock tuning, the rebound is still at full soft. The car was still getting .5 sec a lap faster with each change. Ended up the day with a 62.8. Always fun when people come and basicly call you a lier when you tell them it's a standard wrecker rb20, with a rb20 highflow.

I will put some video on the tubes tonight, and upload some of Damo's artsy pics

Don't you just love it. Its a good feeling when you exceed peoples expectations with a humble, maligned RB20 :)

Re the brakes , CCX are good things but perhaps they are too hard on rotors. I have used only one set and loved them but they did seem to have an appetite for rotors with regards to shudder and cracking. I will be trialling the PFC 06 pads with the Stoptechs and 343mm rotors. I am really happy with how they have all come up. I will try and get a set of DS3000s to trial back to back with the PFC06 before they get too worn

Nice vid. How fast was your GTR around SP?

Best I got was a 60.9. But as you can see it's all about HP, and the GT-R was up 10-15km/h at the end of the straights, and cause of the brake problem was a braking 35-50m earlier than a was in the GT-R.

In the Targa N1 the last time I drive it, it was in 2009 trim, and I got a 60.3. But 2010 trim was about 50rwkw more.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
