stream seems very temperamental this year,

race is starting to take its toll on the cars,

unfortunately the 2nd Wall Racing car, the east holidays EVO had a small fire issue atop the mountain

just got word from the JB car its no longer an 8 cylinder Ferrari, trying to fix it to finish the race.

GTR has has both mechanical issues and contact with a leading car (not the GTR's fault)

STI has fuel problems

unfortunately the Mosler was out before i was even up this morning, with a big off on conrod, which even left the windscreen stuck on top of a telegraph pole

close finish alright. Pete Conroy's Emo X (first production car home) was only 40 laps down on the winner, 22 seconds a lap slower

still surprsingly few retirements. GTR was 2nd retirement.

whiplash were you helping with the mosler? what happened?

I was up there for the first hour and just as I was walking past the citigate when the mosler went off. A tyre let go coming down conrod.

I really wish there was just production cars inthis race. I might have stayed longer.

So what exactly went wrong with the R35?

On that topic it has to be said by someone, why is the DK R35 so slow? is it because of production spec constraints?

Also any more detail on the Mosler incident, tyres?

I dont think its slow, i think its more that its up against much better/faster purpose built GT3 cars.

Anyone have lap times for it? doesnt matter what circuit, just intersted to know how it stacks up against either your car Dunc or other R35's

I'm more keen to check it out as it's not production car racing. The Eastern Creek 8 hour was a major snooze.

I'd consider it surprisingly slow, seconds a lap slower than a few road going R35's (in an outright/qualifer sense anyway).

is it just because it's stuck with production specs? they run slicks right?

There was some smoke coming out of the GTR from the begining, which didn't really look right.

I can understand that but form the pics and highlights I saw the 2010 Bathurst 12 hour looked a lot more interesting with 41 entrants as opposed to the 26 this year (of which 11 were production). Obviously the GT cars discouraged many production entries.

The GT cars were lapping the production cars within a few laps making them look like some second rate side show. Especially when the race was re-intorduced for production car racing.

That's a fair point for sure. I think anything with a large enough field is exciting to watch - the EC 8 hours was boring as there were only 13 cars in it, and 8 which finished the race. Those sorts of numbers are never going to make for great spectating, especially when there is such a speed differential.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
