popped out to the test and tune tonight, saw a 4 door r34 and a 2 door r34 both run around the mid 14s from memory

saw an old school capri lose it and JUST miss the wall at the pointy end of the track.. was like the 3rd run of the night.. apparently dropped some water but that was all thankfully

and a stupid fast hayabusa drag bike(super stretched rear end etc) collected 2 timing markers at half track luckily nothing else happened to him

couple of pop and crackle and crunch noises from a couple of cars but overall it was a good night

not as busy as previous years for the good friday tnt but with a street shoot out event on tomorrow maybe half the fast cars held out till tomorrow

Well car is freshly serviced ( thanx John) tyres checked and boot loaded ready to go to Hervey bay for 5 days of camping. First long trip in skyline since I've had it so praying it all goes smoothly. The best part is the kids will all be in the captiva so 3-4 hours of peace lol. Can't wait

my wifes parents went over to Japan for a wedding and we asked them to pick up some Domokun stuff

turned out one of the only places you can get it is the NHK TV Character store which is SUPER expensive

they brought us back all this stuff

the cloth underneath opens up to like a table runner sort of length but is just a fabric, we are going to get it framed as its pretty cool

indeed we did, in carseldine :thumbsup: and yes, prob this thursday

YAY for Domokun randomness!

yep we did. pending panel shop and QT I may bring the new toy out.

New exhaust bodo? How much she set ya back? U fitting it?

yeah man, it cost me $350. its an old HKS Priest......which as it turns out is a 3.5inch system (found this out after buying a 3inch gasket for the center join), but has 2 mufflers and a resonator in it, the guy i got it off showed me a vid clip he took of his GTR before removing it, sounds good :)

thinking of just getting one of the 3 inch catco or Xforce cats from JJR to complete it. should be more than enough flow for my car as it is atm.

catback zorst is on, very quiet maybe too quiet. sounds nice inside. and no drone at any speed.

happy laps was good, even had my brothers old '56 beetle out there :)....till it spat the oil filler cap..lol.

    • 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.
    • 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?
