My car still exists and still runs quite happily however it has had somewhat of a transformation since Autosalon duties.

After making my 604awkw run back in the day, we took the car to Heathcote and ran a 10.7@141MPH which still couldn't better our previous best of 10.47@133MPH due to traction issues. Videos from Autosalon can be found at

and

Since then my car has gone through another turbo conversion from the big single and NOS to twin lowmount 2860-5s, got rid of the 3 fuel pumps and gone back to a single system and making a comfortable and responsive 347awkw.

Went to Heathcote a couple weeks ago just to see how quick it was now and surprisingly managed to run a [email protected] and 11.3@124MPH. Highlights can be seen at

mine is still around too although when it was at Autosalon early it was Stacey's car.

its making over 1000hp now but will probably end up either a full blown 3/4 chassis drag car or end up like Leewah's...back to being sensible.

I heard word that there won't be a Autosalon this year in any state except NSW due to dwindling numbers, etc.

The magazine isn't fantastic, and even that was struggling last year.

If it wasn't for Hot4's, Autosalon wouldn't exist... and neither would Queen St Smash :(:P

You obviously weren't there when Gas cracked 1000rwkw out of the supra then... RH9 was close behind at 960awkw or something...

As impressive as those numbers are to the school boys They serve no more purpose than the 57 speakers and white upholstery cars. Totally impracticle.

Big hp numbers like that are merely another form of art expression with little or no relationship to a well balanced street/strip/track package.

The majority of genuine enthusiasts will not mourn the passing of shows like auto salon, It was more like a freak show than a car show.

Agreed.

Freaks are interesting.

It's hard not to admire a car like RH9 that puts out nearly 1000AWKW from a 2.6L engine... A lot of money has been spent on that car, the bonnet alone is a genuine Z tune item. Everything outside the dyno cage is pretty boring though.

how about all the osmans wrx pieces of shit they did. Fark they where gay. Especially that yellow bucket of crap they converted to drive in the middle... that was just stupid and a total waste of drug money.

LOL!

From memory it was kinda impractical as well, as the gear shift was in between your legs.

Anyone remember that HVDFLU wrx? seemed to disappear, pretty interesting dyno vid of it here tho lol

hvdflu is forsale because the owner now resides in the goldcoast... his back down every few weeks and takes it for a spin around town

its on pump fuel now around 380awk its about the only showcar you will ever see drift

autosalon flunked it so there are bugger all shows these days,

Yeah I dunno, never remotely been interested in dyno queens or various vomit inducing fluro colours and gaudy chrome rims; it was an expression of drug dealers with nothing else to spend their money on.

Magazine was a POS too, only helped to reinforce popular perception that import owners are douches in yellow jumpsuits trying to imitate Fast and the Furious.

To call that collection of shit art, is to call McDonalds fine cuisine.

      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
