You know what this means for SKYROD B-Man...back to the workshop. :mad:

Hey but at least you got to give it some stick, and it's a better reason than getting 15's from lack of power. :D

Yeah - and I gave it a go , which was fun ! I can only get better from here , hey ?

BTW - after 2nd run, when I filled WSID with smoke and the announcer thought I had blown a turbo ha ha ha - I rang John straight away and asked him to order me a super duper clutch......

Dang - next thing that will go is the diff, then the gear box - ha ha ha ha ha

Pretty disappointing day if you ask me. Certainly not worth the $30 I paid at the gate thats for sure, infact i'd say that the 2 previous Wednesday nite street meets have been much better. The crowd was well.... their wasn't much of a crowd, even from 8-10pm when it was much cooler.

Well done to 2rismo, B-Man, PranK, Merli etc for displaying SAU for us :cheers:

I have to say i was a little disappointed as well, there was about 4 hours when there werent even any cars running (& the track was fine...). The whole 'Drag Combat' thing didnt even match up to a street meet for entertainment.

Auto Salon wont be seeing any more of my money for a while... the 8.4 run from WAR-700 was pretty cool, so was the 13.1 from 2rismo. (oh so close to a 12 from what i presume is a std turbo)

... and hats off to Merli, Prank & 2rismo and co ( i saw yor cars, couldnt see the owners :Oops: ) for ignoring the heat etc etc....

The Autostyle guys rocked up with their pack of cars, couldnt believe none of the cars ran, considering they are all claiming big power from the T88 setups.

Well we had fun, appart from the heat and some other factors, such as a blown 3rd and 4th gear, and then being stuck in 5th.

We got a 13.5 first run ever then a couple of 12.0's and then later a 11.9.

We are looking forward to Qld (appart from the heat) should have some better times as we will be going in with a fully rebuilt gearbox that we blow on Monday. Yes that is right 2 gear box's in less then a week.

So if anyone in Qld has a spare gear box that would like to lend us while we are there just in case, we would thank you.

If you are going to Qld and you see us say Hello!.

Also if anyone got some pics or video of the car can send me a copy [email protected].

Cheers

Heat was ridiculous, organisation was similar.

Roy, did you miss the car run 13.0 ?? ;-) I snuck in a grudge match against a 9 sec gemini for the 13.1 but the previous round in eliminations i went a tenth quicker at about the same terminal speed.

By the end of the night i was trying ANYTHING to get the shagged, hard tyres to work and snag a 12. It wasnt to be however the speed through the traps lends itself convincingly to a solid 12 so i'm happy.

Good to catch up with some people on the day as well - GTR700, hats off. I wouldnt wanna be in Andrej's racing booties for quids!

      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
