Oh and as some may have noticed, the bonnet is freshly painted but does not yet have the lip back on as i havent had the time.......

I replaced the front pads and rotors and flushed the brake fluid prior to SAU Nats but ran out of time to do the braided lines and paint the callipers so ill tackle that later -

I was still undecided about the big brake kit so i upgraded the fronts and DAMN they work well when hot! They are A1RM pads with the DBA4000 rotors

While i was in Sydney i got Federal RSR's all round fitted and balanced, the guys at Tyres For Less were super helpful but i noticed a knock into there driveway and it turns out i had broken a traction rod with 1 too many skids, they are a crap design (D-Project or Project-D cant remember) they rely on 4 welds..... So i limped over too Just Jap and grabbed another arm to keep me going......

Once the tyres and arm were all sorted i got Wheel Align specs from Adz which were simple AWESOME, car has never handled so well, it tracks dead straight and is like its on rails

Oh and while i am on the topic is suspension arms, my ISC arms were stuffed and seized, i got them second hand and they were garbage so i fit a new offset V2 style castor arm from GKTECH

So i figured i was prepped for nats, loaded with E85, brakes and tyres good to go and was super keen

But the car REALLY didnt want to go..... Had HKS errors and E sensor errors on the way to pick up Carmen from the airport, it was the start of a long day....

Does it go?

Yeah i drove it to JEM after the event and they said i am not having it back until i do what i was told in the first place and do the fuel system properly, i shouldnt have been a tight ass and i wouldnt have had these dramas lol :P

Good girl.

Most used tool in your shed I'm sure.

For those that didnt see it, i couldnt get more than half a lap with any sort of power so i was just obnoxious on the outlap for lolz :P

Good girl.

Most used tool in your shed I'm sure.

Yeah itll get a workout! I love it! Snap On/Blue Point quality is always top notch!

I got other prezzies like Snap On tool bag and lots of booze but the Jack seemed relevant to a build thread :D

Next one is at 1:30, gotta pass the time somehow! :P

Grats on the trophy!

Good luck mate! Sounds like your all over it!

Haha thanks! I laughed when Ash called my name!

so how good are the RSR's? do they hold any sort of traction?

They are good mate, gotta get them hot but 3rd grips up nicely...... The video shows them dead cold so of course it was just skids.......

    • 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?
