I could be mistaken but I think you need to do Phillip Island to qualify for the stickers!

You are wrong.....you need to stay at the Wang to do Winton to get the stickers :P

But if you really want the stickers just contact Bec :ninja:

im going to come down to watch, will they let me in just to watch? or do i have to be participating to enter. is the front gates open or only allowed through the side gate?

i was going to bring some friends down so make sure you guys show them what skylines can do.

there were no mod rwd there on the day iirc?

but the standard rwd belongs to me now?? :)

was an awesome, day...errrr night..

had a ball!

there were quite a few blowups / failures / offs.

include marty and I.....:nyaanyaa:

so after hearing wat andrew was saying about brake temps in the first session i thought i should give the car an even longer

cooler down in the second session. though it didnt help.

brake pedal was hitting back at me, though it may have just been warped rotors....

got onto the pre grid for the 3rd run, in the dark. this is going to be cool, glowing brakes, great pics of the flames from my car.

hrm i better check those rotors.

but that is all the way through.

edit: oh they are dba 4000, so expected anyway...?

Bugger, i cracked a rotor at Calder too. Matt, what was your best at Calder? I am pretty sure between Ryan and a few others that none of mine or your times stand ay any track aymore :)

At Calder i think my best was a 1:06.4, LOL with a cracked rotor, crabbing on the road anda hot day with a pinging engine with flat spotted tyres from Dutton :) :) It was my last track day in the 32 and the reason why i stopped tracking it until i had time to go through the car and do a refurb on much of the suspension, fuel system and brakes at an expesnse its take me a few years to afford.

But fark help you all when she gets back out there :)

    • 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...
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
