Looking forward to your results bro, also looking forward to hearing how you go with the new pads...Really looking forward to seeing that 1:06!!!

Remember to not to go hard for a whole session. Do 2-3 quick laps at most and then cool it down. Your braking might last a bit longer! I think some more braking thermal capacity is needed!!!

No Need, the pads were simply brilliant! They are the best pad i have ever used by far :yes:

BEAUTIFUL

Inspiringly gorgeous, the engine bay, the fuel system, everything! love it!!!!!!!!

You've go me wanting to go down the black everything path when i dive into the wonderful world of turbochargers

Keep up the great work, what a read!

Thanks mate! It has been years of hard work that's for sure! Some interesting updates coming too ;)

Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

Not yet mate, only drove it from my work to the next street this morning to use a workshops hoist for an hour... It was pretty damn dirty though, will have to put a light in the old one and see how much is shining through!

Why did you need the car on a hoist to change the air filter? I think you're doing it wrong :P

Hahaha nice find Kurtis!

Are there any videos of what happened? I've been kept in the dark

Luckily nobody was watching as it was during the passenger runs lol

Just too much speed, too much weight and not enough skill :P

The new setup will mask my bad driving :whistling:

So with the Nulon Nationals we head off early morning from home via Yagoona to grab a helmet... Unfortunately the one i wanted was not in stock so i got a cheapie which worked fine :)

From the helmet place we head straight to Wakefield Park to bed the brakes in.

When we arrived at the track we met up with Brian, he was dialing in the new suspension setup in the R35...

I went out and did a quick 2 lap run to get the brakes hot and then came in to let them cool, i was shocked at how well they worked!

I noticed i still had an oil pressure issue under brakes but decided to run it the following day at the Nationals anyway as i wanted to make sure SAU got all the points possible :D

We unloaded the car and set up in the SAU pits that Neil had sorted for us... We had our drivers brief and got our groups and were good to go...

I was placed in Orange group as the last outing was a 1.074 and i said it was likely to go quicker at this event as i actually had brakes for this round!

Pic stolen from Timmy :P

I set off on the first session and the car felt like shit! It was smoking the tyres and just wanted to spin around on every corner... I tried to get some heat in the tyres but they were still far too low on pressure... The track was like ice so that did not help! We put some more air in the tyres which actually worked against us as in session 2 the tyres went up to 37psi which is way too high! Even with the pressure high i checked the times and it had still ran a 1.07 which was a good start!

On the 3rd session i decided to push the car a little harder but was still trying not to hurt it as i wanted to make the passenger sessions at lunch, Carmens parents travelled all the way up from VIC to watch so my main goal was to take them for a few laps!

When coming back into the pits i checked the lap timer and i could see it had registered a 1.068 lap followed by a 1.069 and the car was feeling pretty good...

These shots were by Flat Shifting, they take some great shots and will likely be at our events in the future...

As some of you know i did have a decent "off" during the passenger laps... It is the first time i have ever been off a racetrack properly so i made sure i did a good job of it... It did rash the rims, belt the guard and also cut up my tyre... Pretty sure my alignment is out too as the car did not feel the same for the rest of the day... BUT in true SAU style i managed to take a trophy for the stuff up lol

I ran 3 lots of passenger laps in 20 mins... I just overcooked the last one :laugh:

One of my favourite things about the day was being in the same group as James, chasing the Grumblebee around Wakefield was a hell of a lot of fun!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
