Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!  With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at For

Clean and up in the air. Final bits of work required to hit the track in November.

Wow.

Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread.

It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovations and getting married. The 32 went on the back burner.

After Campbell crashed it in June 2013 the only event it did was SAU Nationals in SA. I actually won the motorsport side of the event which I was pretty happy with.

Only change to the car was a new front bar and diffuser. I also fitted an Accusump oil accumulator under the dash to fix oil surge problems. Despite having a winged and baffled sump it still needed it.

After that event, my mate grabbed the diff for his car and it's not moved at all since. Currently the rear subframe is out of it ready for an R33 subframe and GTR diff and shafts. Hoping to get it ready for SAU nats this year and I need to get back to PI coz I haven't had a decent crack at it in it's current form.

I've attached some pics from 2013 SAU nats at Mallala and Collingrove hill climb.

Quite proud of the time I did at Mallala considering it was my first time. 1:14.63. Don't know of any other 2wd skylines that have done a time faster than that.

Haha we'll see, I'll be happy with a Deca and 1 x track day this year! Not sure about WTAC 2017, my times in 2012 would still get me 20th in Open class haha. Might be able to get it down to the 1:36's without too much work but I think Vic time attack and some SAU rounds would be good enough of a comeback.

Gee it's been a long time since I've logged in to SAU forums. Basically I did a motorkhana in Nov 2016 and blew 3rd gear. Wheeled it back into the shed and I haven't touched it since! I have all the bits to fix it but not time, I'll get to it....

With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at Forced Motorworx, I have a gearbox again... It'll go back into the car soon and work on hitting the track again. Can't believe it's been another 2 years since I've driven it! Time flies!

I've also moved house and have my own shed, because of this I don't have a hoist anymore. Back to changing gearboxes on the floor...IMG_5551.thumb.JPG.f46d10f37b57fcfa7ecaa83a54e2c978.JPG

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      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.
