it seemed to go about its business quietly,. but didnt look on pace all weekend. not sure if thats a comparison of where the cars at or they had issues.

We struggled with getting to know the track more than anything else as first timers....and then getting a clean lap without red flags on the Sunday when cars were blowing engines most everylap in the WTAC 'wrecking yard'. IMO the car has a fairly easy 1.39 in it as you would expect from its Mallala pace. This weekend was about having fun, helping out our customers, and bringing it home in one piece. Although I would have liked to have seen faster lap times - you cant have everything :)

As a positive we didnt have a single mechanical issue with our car, and one of our GTRs won Clubsprint. The GT Auto car which uses a lot of our transmission technology also lapped well and was fastest GTR of the event, and now in Australia.

The Willall GTR posted the highest indicated straight speed of any car that we saw (including the pro cars) at 254km/h on the start/finish line - showing that we still have what it takes in the GTR drag game if nothing else :closedeyes::thumbsup::cheers::pirate:

Setup and tyre selection is the key for EC by the looks of it. We will make sure those two variables are where they need to be for next time :)

The driver did a very good job considering the corner speed we were giving away with a total lack of grip...kind of my mistake that one too!

After simons small misfortune. was really expecting a 'drifters dropping oil from you Martin', poor form, lol

car looked damn quick down the straight, but as you said looked to struggle a little bit with corner speed, particularly through turns 6 and 7

hope Gareth has a nice new outfit for saturday :wub:...lol

Who or what is a Simon and what misfortune?

I believe this is a Simon, and this is/was his misfortune

back from WTAC and not a good result :( motor spun several bearings after just 7 laps. dropped oil from a failed oil cooler fitting on first lap out and then fixed it up and filled it back up and it seemed ok. but 7 laps in and it started rattling really bad.

haha, you get those 295's from the pits after?

I was gonna grab them but just alittle to wide for me :(

Yep - couldn't resist the price...... Sorted for Legend of the Lakes now, and perhaps a single lap flyer at Mallala!!

I had plenty of time to look at that radar (courtesy of sitting up in the tower with nothing to do) and it was reading differently depending on where it picked up the cars on the track.

For the record, Sierra Sierra logged 298km/h (on their own data logger) at one stage ;)

yeah, cost him a motor sadly, id say/ hope he's going to improve the set up, as its not the first time its popped off

Maybe thats not bad luck then - its not often you get a warning to fix something like that and get away with it in the first instance....

As for the speed trap Iron Chef, it was very hard to work out how and where it picked up even watching it closely.

      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.

      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
