I've seen races where they race in rain just like that, but I think what they mentioned being different was the amount of spray from the tyres and limited visibility as a result from the poor drainage on this particular track.

Wow, what a race! Despite rules and regs trying to ruin it as usual!

So glad to see JB win and hamilton get reminded that going for every gap gets a good percentage of wall, Button had no reason to yield to him.

Vettel must be happy, overall he extended his lead over his main rivals, who didn't finish. Now he's on 161 points, with JB on second 101. He just needs a few DNF's and this championship will be interesting again.

So sad that the fia do everything possible to fk the good races. Still a bit dirty about being robbed monaco quali and gp finale's.

Get on exepedia, we got the night of quali and the race for $190 AUD in Cologne. Thats about an hour away from the track and we've got a hire car.

Yeah T12 - nothing special but it's got a screen.

I just bought these for the little one.

cologne is actually a fair hike from nurburgring definitely more than an hour. Troy can attest to that. even in an audi or focus doing an average speed of about 180km/h it's still a hike!

It will be a bit of a mission on race day I imagine. having said that nurburg is a little hick town in the mountains with nothing much going on after the sun goes down (may be different on a GP weekend though with the big new linder hotel there) so cologne will be more fun in that regard. and I'm guessing at this stage it's probably impossible to get anything in nurburg anyway. hope you are going to try and drive the nordschleiffe? though it will be fking packed for the week before and the week after the GP for sure. i imagine it'll be a mix of full on traffic jams on the track and long closures while they scrape bikers off the armco.

you will love it though no matter what. :)

I hope the rumors are true and that Webber might be going to Ferrari to race alongside Alonso. It'll do him good instead of being stuck behind 'the prodigal' Vettel.

Where did you hear that

Is there a link somewhere would love it if were true

I said too late.

It's booked.

I'll try the north loop but don't like my chances.

I think the rumour of Hamilton going to RBR in 2013 holds more weight, but it's just that, a rumour. Webber has been linked to Ferrari before, yet nothing ever happens from 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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
