Still, why did they have to find the 3 biggest leb muzzas out there to represent the "japanese performance car community"

And seriously, did you see how they were doing the slalom course? They just basically kept accelerating through it, as if any normal driver would keep doing that...?

I think some of you may have the wrong impression of what the story was addressing.  

"But yeah... get other people into these cars and see how they far. A darn sight worse is my prediction.

And i've never EVER had to use a slalom course on the street, anyone else here ever used a slalom course on the street?"  It wasn't about whether people have ever had to do a slalom course on the road.  It was more about how people managed and perceived themselves with a "high powered vehicle" and how the wrong mentality can bring a lot of grief to those who overestimate their abilities.  

I agree... what the story was trying to say about the attitudes.

And just nab these guys in a bad light.

But as for everything else i said, i think it is fair.

but as you said dave

It was more about how people managed and perceived themselves with a "high powered vehicle" and how the wrong mentality can bring a lot of grief to those who overestimate their abilities.  

Put those cars and drivers into a normal road simulated test and see how they go.

Maybe thier ****y attitude might have proved them right and that on the road they are indeed alright drivers.

But to do that fairly you have to give out a fair chance.

Heaven knows im not a bad driver on roads and i have a good stick of power.

But i know in myself that a slalom and other tests, things i would never expiriance on the road, i would instantly fail.

Put me in a road simulated test, in my car... and let me drive how i would not how the instructor thinks i should...

And im very certain that i would do much better for a number of reasons.

*My car has better handling/braking/control that a Ford/Holden.

*I have a good reaction speed, certainly not as fast as driving instructor, but not too bad in the percentage of road users.

i like this thread. good read

Personally I would also find it difficult performing a driving test with that instructor yelling in my ear constantly.

I was thinking the same thing. It it was me driving I would've floored it and then jumped on the brakes hoping that he smacks his head on the dash. Ian Luff is a w@nker.

On the same note did anyone go see the attempted reverse psychology ad about speeding before Return of the King? Worst. Ad. Ever.

I saw it... it was made by students, i think. they all made ads against speeding and that one won the comp... i don't see what's so bad about it.

the ad's trying to use reverse psychology to make you not speed etc...but it doesn't work. After 20 seconds I was hoping it would end soon. For those who are too dumb for reverse psychology to work it doesn't work.

    • 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.
    • 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
