Yeah they have it so easy in Russia. Mmmmm avg income like 1/4 of australias. Snow for at least half the year. High unemployment and absolutely nutty crime levels. Those really shitty pre-fab apartments. I could go on....

If you want to live somewhere where the cars rule and its fuggin cold....go to sweden!

PS. sorry russian guy, but it had to be said :)

It is strange, that you have not recollected about bears and vodka - it is usual too mention... People which judge our country on on propagation of times of cold war, strongly are mistaken... Your representation about our country is incorrect. It is just necessary will return to a reality...

english is  OK  :)  .. i understood a bit of it  :D  .. at least in russia you wouldn't have to buy an intercooler at all LOL  :(

Guys - return to a reality... Russia - the huge country... In the north there live polar bears, and in the south - subtropics... And there even it is now very warm... In Moscow it is now cold-10 on Celsius. Fries up to +40 in the summer. Front intercollers we actively use... GReddy, HKS, A'PEXi

Thats y i moved to AUS :D Russia isnt a bad country its the government that made it this way :)

The standard of living of the population for last 10 years has considerably grown. The government constantly carries out reforms. The last we it is not so enough, when have entered a surtax on import automobiles.

How do skylines handle russian roads, snow, cold weather? i miss snow sooo much, still cant get used to celebrating new years without snow....

Skyline perfectly itself feels in our conditions... But we try to not go in the winter on GTR... And new year without a snow - is not present New Year's mood... At least for us... Roads from a snow at us actively clean at night... It watch...

Russian guy, I wasn't trying to say your country is a living hell. I'm sure there are things that are good over there, but theres still a lot of trouble from the reforms after the cold war.

My family is from poland and I still have family living over there, ok it's not russia but its sort of similar, and there are some serious problems compared to the west.

I would still LOVE to visit russia though, I've always wanted to go there and see what its like for myself instead of listening to relative's stories of it :(

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
