I have entered but guessing I am even further down the waiting list :P Will be good to get some real kms on the car....anybody been to one of these days in a "noisy" car ? How are they with black noise flags?

Briefing notes from MSCA organising this weekend at PI say (see below) Doesn't mention anything about a dB requirement or black flagging etc. Obviously the absence of such specific information doesn't mean you're in the clear, but at least it's not in black and white. Seems at least noise is a sensitive issue and certainly before 9.00. Hope that helps.

So Phillip Island . DO NOT FORGET ABOUT NOISE RESTRICTIONS. No Noise at all before 9am. This is a restriction on all track users and only the V8's and Moto GP people are exempt. The Competitors have to push cars at RAce meetings,and yes, the scrutiny bay is uphill. Obviously cars that are driven to the track may drive , but no revving of engines will be allowed. Trailer cars may be started to unload but must keep revs to an absolute minimum . Any blatant abuse may result in the driver being sent home

To the best of my knowledge the only full noise days are PIARC, V8's and bikes any other track day has the usual restrictions including this one. 90db measured at the side of the track (I think 3m away from the track itself but I could be wrong).

Sounds like the 050's are the tyre to have - they appear to be putting out consistently quicker times. I'll be happy to have a reliable day to finish the year off. :P

Well, I will put their noise restrictions under the torch and see what happens

MSCA are generally vintage cars so may do 90dba+ days at PI.

I'm doing MSCA at Sandown on the 5th. One last blast there for the year.

No question they are a great tyre able to put out quick times....however on a heavy car like the R (well my car in particular!) they tend to only give 2 or so hot laps before getting too hot and sliding around. I've found the RE55 is far more consistant over a 5 lap sprint than the A050 at tracks like Sandown and PI.

      Tomei gasket

      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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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
