If that's at Aaron, don't worry, much like puberty he'll grow out of it :P

I know I certainly didn't want a wagon when I was in my early 20's, but now that 3000GT is just way too impractical.

yeh i'll grow out of it soon. I think once I start getting pulled over I'll be over it.. then Hi ho hi ho, back to a stag I go..

Do you leave it on the street?

That reminds me, I need to cancel my insurance. I insured mine for the first time last Friday so I'd be covered when in Sydney for the cruise on the weekend. It's understandable you'd be nervous, living in the "big smoke".

You drive around uninsured?? I'm not sure whether that's brave...or stupid...:whistling:

I don't have a lock up garage. It'll be in the driveway.

Just got off the phone from Repco. Anyone interested in servicing their car with Motul 300v should stock up this weekend - they're doing 20% off.

I'll head down in the morning and grab some I think, give it a try!

Are u sure the motul range is included in the sale? I've been to a few repco sales and motion is always never included.

Its Bathurst. Supertaxi's are going round.

I wish there we some real competition out on the mountain. You know, a mix of cars, V8's / 6cyl turbos/ 4cyl emos and rexs/ GTRs and euros even.

This has got to the stage where they have flogged that old horse far to long. Don't get me wrong- the drivers are no doubt talented and courageous, but its like a one make series now.

Maybe we could get some exchange students from DTM, and send 1/2 the supertaxi fleet to Germany?

DTM cars are 10x hotter than Supertaxis. With the carbon fibre and the wings and *drool*

Rumour is Toyota, Honda, BMW and a fourth, unknown Japanese brand is coming on board. Nissan perhaps?

I would have thought Hyundai would have been more likely.

And I wouldn't have thought BMW would be interested. How's that going to work for their marketing if they get beaten by a Holden?

no way is any other brand going to put up $500k+ per car to enter the series.

If I was a marketing boffin for Toyota, thats exactly what I'd be doing.

Think about it, if you want to sell a car that competes head to head with Commonwhore and Falcon, compete with them on track in Australias most popular motor racing series.

People like Toyota (Aurion), Hyundai (Grandeur? That new 5L V8 RWD thing) could benefit from some brand credibility and some bogan popularity.

And its not like it would be expensive. A deal with an existing team could be struck, the cars will be mostly control anyway so changeover cost is negligible, and itd end up costing someone like Toyota or Hyundai a fraction of their yearly marketing budget.

Nobody feel sorry for Craig anymore, OK? After meeting you & your missus the other weekend, I don't believe a word of it, lol.

And yes, variety in motor racing would convince me to start watching again. Just one or two more manufacturers would make all the difference.

So true- however it has to be some real variety. Not the kind that we see now, where its just a badge stuck on the front. If they make Toyota/Hyundai/whoever run the same diff/box/brakes/susp then no ground has been achieved. Its just playing by rules that Current manufactures can control. Sort of like as a kid if you go to another kids house, and they only let you play with some of their toys, only when they want....ermm.gif

meh there are plenty of series with variety out there, people just aren't watching them because all the marketing comes from cockrane's supertaxis, and all the audience and sponsors go straight there as a result.

Australian GT and National and NSW Production cars are 3 excellent examples of variety on the grid.

      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.

      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
