WOW!

Lost for words, to describe the amount of adrenaline pumping excitement that was enjoyed by all who participated. Truly had an awesome time, and managed to go through a set of rear tyres :D.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Chris (Scottsman) [R33 GTR] for winning best “Overall” (consistent results throughout the whole day), first in “Figure 8 circuit” and 2nd in “Sprint Circuit”. To Adam (Adz) [R34 GTT] for 1st in “NSC challenge”, 1st in "Sprint circuit" and 2nd place "Overall". Also to MinesR33 ( sorry forgot your name :Oops: ) [R33 Mines GTR] for winning 3rd “Overall”, second in “NSC challenge” and one more trophy. Needless to say that Skylines Australia dominated the day’s events and had a great time doing it :(. The Northern Street Cruizers (NSC) club president was extremely pleased with our attendance and how our club members respected the rules set out in the morning.

Sorry to those that wanted to be there, but due to their own circumstances, could not make it.

Tried to have a chat with all imports, especially skylines, but as soon as I got there I was swapping my rims, then swapped them again, after the first event, because I was getting toooo much understeer on the stockies.

Thanks again to everyone that made this weekend so great! :D

This is planned to be a annual event, so hopefully next year we will have even more entrants.

Alan

who would of known that watching relatively stock skylines making heavily worked v8's look like they are standing still could be so much fun... but at the end of the day the black 180 owned... GO THA S13s!!

Gotta admit that black 180 did look sweet, good to see a few other imports from this forum.

Did the 180 win any trophies? Otherwise the skylines owned the day's events :D!

Jarrod my best time had a 2 sec penalty because i hit one witches hat, and i also had a passenger :).

Had heaps of fun... great day even though 2 minutes after leaving DECA and heading home my clutch started to slip so bad I could barely get the car to 100km/h... going up the hills i would slow to 80 then pick up speed down the hill only to slow down up the next one... people driving near me must have thought I was nuts...

So who wants to donate a clutch? :D

      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)

      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?
