Chris,  

          Ben's Supra "should" be there. The guys are putting in some long days/nights to get it ready in time.  

The new exhaust manifold was finished last wk. It's a damn tight fit to get the 1000+hp turbo, w'gate, & huge dump pipe in there! Unfortunately the custom rods couldn't make it in time from the US so they've put together an interim engine package.

Cool, good to hear, as I know he was very keen to get it going for the Nats

Looks like its going to be a hot one, might have to switch from the Elf LMS to methanol Matt, it will run nice and cool then :P

Have you had it re-tuned with the fancy fuel yet?

I got a drum of tolulene/methyl benzine to whack in my toy for the weekend .... does anyoe know whether this affects the 'street driven' rating or not? I'd imagine not (given it's a major ingredient in most octane boosters).

In reagrds to HPI times etc?

As far as I understand you can use any type of unleaded fuel with octane booster, just not fuels such as methanol or alcohol etc?? Might be wrong though, not 100% sure

Turbomax, LMS, tolulene, methyl benzine, HKS 'Drag Gas' (probably ELF), Sunoco, C16, C21 & the like are all acceptable within the HPI reg's. Methanol, alcohol & nitro aren't.

The 'race' R33 wont be ready for another month or so - hoping to debut at the Perth Drag combat meeting - maybe.

We are making some changes to the street R33 - more boost & agressive tuning - should be

all sorted for Sat. But - if it is 40 degrees I dont know if I'll race it. May wait till evening to see if it cools down.

I believe Keir is going for the outright record (to beat Croydons 8.55) - hope he does it - will be awesome to see. Also Theo from Brisbane street machines is supposed to be bringing his R32 with a T88 fitted - should be real fast.Ran 10.5 recently & they are looking for 9s.

If my street R33 runs, will be hoping for 10s, but being full weight I wont hold my breath.

Even if it is a scortcher during the day, it should make for some great night racing.

See u all there.

Trying to talk Cheeky into racing her car - I think she needs some more encouragement.

      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.
