I like those new wheels, I reckon they look good as they are but to match the Lenso's would look better with the red lip. What brake pads were you using?

EBC Greens were in there before, I wouldn't recommend them for anything more than a swiftly driven daily.

Hey Pete if you didn't already know its really easy to add a stripe to the wheels. You can either buy some red pin stripe or cut a pice out of vynal. It can just be a strait pice. As you put it on the wheel it will flex as such and turn a strait line into a curved line. So no need to paint it or cut out round stripes. I have done this neumerous times to wheels on a race car I used to look after.

Thanks Damo! I'll give that a go.

Yeah, I can vouch for EBC's not being suited to any sort of track use.

I had these on my daily driven Liberty, took it to the track, and cooked the pads, to the point where the backing plate that sits against the brake pistons were warped out of shape (not to mention caliper slide seals catching on fire, etc).

Nice wheels too, BTW.

it might have to be white then.

Also, I think I need these.

1. because the teenager in me that played waaaaaaaaay too much Need for Speed thinks they're hilariously awesome.

2. It'd make it possible to open the doors when it's on the trailer and I can get out of the car without bending like gumby!

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • 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...
    • 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.
