Hi All,

I was reading a thread a while back about a workshop at Lonsdale that was getting rave reviews. I've tried searching, but can't find the thread again. Can anyone tell me what the name of the workshop is?

Cheers guys :P

Yeah, i take my Car to HPIAB, he is a workshop mainly, but is also a store, mainly online/email/phone orders etc. You are always going to find positives and negatives with any workshop you look at, it just comes down to your experience with them. I have not had any issues with HPIAB, and i get along with them rather well and do suggest them, as will 2-3 other members on here.

I know there was another workshop, further south, at Hackham that was getting good reviews a few weeks back...something like Classic Performance, but i am not aware of any other workshops at Lonsdale.

Not sure where he is, But Steve Cramp from Manta is very highly rated and he's down the south area...

Yeah Classic Performance.

The guy used to operate the dyno at Graeme West workshop and then opened up his own place down Hackham way.

I take my GTR there now since Boostworx moved 394857390487503875k's up north. Awesome service and awesome people :P they even gave me a tour of the workshop and dyno cell when I first went there.

Oh and their dyno cell is AMAZING. If I could live in it, I would. I would even hold my babies in there. If the cell had a womb.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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.

      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.
