So anyway, I'm a new Canberran. Used to live in Melbourne and we just moved up here.

Where do you native Canberran's buy your cars? I decided that I'm in need of a new one and had a bit of a look around and there's not too much available. Do you go and get them from Sydney or Melbourne? Are there any performance car dealers in Canberra?

Hmmm, don't want to bombard you all with too many questions, so that's it for now.

Oh yes, and Hi! by the way.

G'day Locash,

Welcome to Canberra :)

There's not many import dealers in Canberra, and because of this they think they can put their prices up ;)

But there's Fast and Furious and EVO out in Fyshwick, Brain Hall in Phillip, and I think Shogans out in Belconnen. Probably more...

Best to buy private or take a trip to Sydney or Melb to grab one. A few nice ones come up privately, there's a few nice ones for sale in on SAU at the moment too !!

Cheers

Jayson

old skool! hehe...welcome Locash -  I remember u from the old SDU days!  :headspin:

whereabouts in Canberra did u move to?

Hehe - good old SDU. Those were the days.

I'm living in Swinger Hill (yeah, great suburb name) right near the Woden shopping centre. Working in the city.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes, and the advice. I will look privately, and in Melbourne too I think, although I'm in no rush. Got some Melbournites on the case for me too.

most important thing here - you're SOUTHSIDE :) :)

(we have southside vs northside wars in Canberra hehe) but you picked the right side of town so it's ok ;)

Swinger Hill is a nice suburb! it's got lots of townhouses, but the ones i've been in have been really nice, alot are bigger than your usual house :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      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)

      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.
