The rumoured Texas V8SC race is now confirmed apparently.

Not sure how I feel about this, normally I'm fairly "meh" about American circuit racing, but I'm a little excited about this. Would be great to show the Yanks how it's done!

Doubt Ambrose will be avaliable, they race somthing like 40 weekends of the year in naaaaaascaaaar. V8SC could learn a lot from that, not having to dump local rounds for overseas rounds (that no one goes to watch)

Dont you wish V8sc would just invest money here and race? sick of this company sucking the money out of the aussie racing scene..

I wish they would just f**k off and die so we could have a decent touring car championship in Australia.

Nothing wrong with American Circuit stuff...would rather watch this than Supertaxis anyday

Having watched some NASCAR circut (not oval) racing, i think this'll go down well with the yanks. the NASCAR's (seem) excruciatingly slow around corners, the V8's might liven it up a bit more.

They only seem slow around corners because with 850hp (sprint cup) they makes the straights look very short.

For 1500kg+ cars on skinny tyres and a rear end designed for only turning on banked left handers, they do pretty darn well in the twisties if you ask me

It's a valid point though, I've often wondered how our V8s would do on a circuit against NASCAR. NASCARs do have more power, but they also have more weight, less sophisticated technology, and don't forget they're running four-speed h-pattern gearboxes. NASCARs also don't have a mandatory rev limit, they can get near 10,000 rpm on their engines. I wonder how much power they'd make if they were limited to 7500 like our V8s?

I dont know that they have more sophisticated technology, they just use technology to do different things. They are designed to turn the car left corners and sit in a constant rpm for maximum power. My little nascup car is exactly the same, it will hammer left corners faster than i can drive it but soon as i turn right it has no clue how to handle.

      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
