Hey guys, I don't think you can register. I've been twice and each time you just turn up and pay on the day. It's fairly busy for the first few rounds but everyone manages to get out on the track.

Believe it or not, by the end of the day there's no line! The one's I've been to have been in summer and the heat takes it's toll on cars and drivers.

You will need a helmet, long sleeve shirt and pants. Fire extinguishers are not needed in road registered cars. There's a bowser at the track that has optimax and the BP in Benalla has ultimate, the shell has optimax.

Normally pays to be there about 9am, Driver's breifing is usually at 10( not 100% sure).

Keep your eye on www.wintonraceway.com.au, it's listed on the callendar.

While I have everyone's attention I'm after a good digital photo of a series 3 skyline silhouette rear decal to make up a new one, can anyone help me out?

I'd be interested, but what are the insurance aspects for third party coverage and emergency vehicle attendance? Are there sup regs available?

Forgot to mention, no vehicle insurance. Someone hits you, you hit someone, it's a racing incident. I took my silvia K's out the first time and stressed, the brakes were terrible as well.

I have a stanza now, cheap, easy on parts and brakes twice as good (stripped out) and does it all day. And if I roll it I'm up for $100 for another one.

Only interested in 3rd party. If you injure or kill someone you don't want to pay for the rest of your life. Winton is AASA so cover should be about 20mill if this event is covered. Just the cost worries me being so low. You would be liable on a $50 bmx without event coverage.

Still looking after the crippled wife. She can't even get around on crutches so I have to push her in a computer chair (hey - it has wheels doesn't it?) so I won't make any guarantees I will make it.

From what I have heard of previous Winton Fun days you can get a similar effect by driving down your favorite twisty road during peak hour traffic :cool:

I would save the trip for a sprint, preferably soon while the V8 Supercar rubber is still fresh!

(Good for learning the racing line too :P )

      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
