Ha ha.. you should have seen him when he won a 1:18 scale calsonic R32. He took to school for news today bless him!

Hi spranga,

:P Jim Richards signed the award for "Best Concours R32 GT-R" as well as Terry Ashwood.

:P You've been sent a PM with my addy so you can send your "Best R32" award certificate back to me.

Then it can be signed by Jim and Terry and perhaps Alan Heaphy at "A Night With Jim Richards" on Dec 12th (unless you already have a booked seat and do it yourself on the night).

Cheers, Terry

Well this is where the 1/10 scale Winfield GTR ended up, thought I would let it spend some quality time with the winning GTR before it moves inside on display and for our baby boy that will arrive in next few weeks to play with when he grows up.

Looking forward to see some more video footage looks great so far :)

Hi Brian,

:P Jim Richards as well as Terry Ashwood has signed the award certificate for "Best Concours R32 GT-R"

:P Jim and Terry are prepared to sign yours (and spranga's "Best R32" certificate) as well, of course.

You'll see a PM from me with my addy, if you'd like to send yours back; unless of course you're already booked to go to the SAU.NSW Event - "A Night With Jim Richards" which is when it'll be signed (by Terry A, Jim and Alan).

Cheers, Terry

Hey Congratulations on your Boobie Prize Award Jonny!!!

Must say; your car deserved it... LOL

No other car came close! LOL

Tell us what your folks said about it??? Or anyone else for that matter???

Folks couldn't understand why i would put writing on my car

I think writing that stuff about my mate has made him delay finishing my guards lol

The look on people faces when they pull up next to me and read the writing is priceless

Thanks again Terry

30 Great Pics in P.I. #133 :thumbsup:

with great quotes like these...

"Those GT-Rs are race cars, not touring cars"

by Jason Round's observation of a 1992 Bathurst 1000 pre-race interview.

"Despite these cars being some 20 years old now, their ability to inspire confidence in adverse conditions has barely diminished."

by Matt Tung-Yep (aka God_speed)

"In my opinion, Skylines Australia has always been something of a perfect club."

by Ed's Perspective

"Collectible souvenirs from this occasion include the cover story featured in CARSGuide in the Daily Telegraph 8/10/10, this article in Performance Imports Magazine, a feature in the upcoming Motive DVD and professional photographs available through the club."

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
