The fastest car ever around Mt Cotton on R specs used RE55S WT (soft) compound. But he doesn't compete anymore. DZ03 softs seem to be almost mandatory amongst the current crop of really fast guys. Haven't seen anyone using the A050 or Hankook semis at hillclimbs yet, but they'd have to be right up there with the Dunlop.

Interesting, I'm going to be in need of something suitable for sprints and hill climbs not too far down the track, Z221 softs and AO50's arnt the easiest to get hold of not to mention at a good price. What sort of coin did they set you back matey? And where from

Edited by Mr. Untouchable

I got them through the NSW club - NTW has a great deal going for members

They did help me out on price, I would expect retail on the softs to be around 300 in 235/4517 and hards 350-400.

Roy what were you quoted for a full set, about 1600?

I have just gone for the most common sizes for those running 17s and 18s. May change it to 235/17s and 265/18s in the lowest profile possible. Have made so many phone calls and emails to various suppliers I cant keep track of who does what in what profiles and sizes and compounds anymore. I

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
