G'day all,

I have been lurking around the forum here for a while now, reading and researching bits and pieces, and thought finally that I should create an account and contribute.

I am in the process of buying an R32 GTR, which is quite a change for me as I have been a V8 man my entire life. I am looking to start a bit of club level racing, and my beloved 6.0l SS just won't cut it around a race track!

Any who, looking forward to contributing to the club and learning a bit more about the 'dark side'.

Cheers,

Matt.

Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated,

Here is my current pride, my 2008 VE SS. Up for sale at the moment to make way for the GTR.

Although, the market is overflowing with these cars at the moment, so I'm not exactly fending people off with a stick... The longer it takes, the more convinced I become to keep the SS and just have the GTR in the shed too. My wife would throttle me though, I'm sure.

Hello,an welcome love the pick in your sig.

Come to the robbo cruise will be great fun. :action-smiley-069:

Hi Humbla, thanks! The robbo cruise? Is that the one on 15/9? I think I saw something on here about that, I'll hopefully have my GTR by then, so I may just come along. Thanks again.

Welcome. When you get the GTR and have had it for a while (novelty worn off) it would be great to hear your comparison with the VE. I agree with Luke, don't ask the missus just buy it. Feign ignorance of her disapproval and profit.

I'm looking forward to seeing the difference between the two. From driving the GTRs I have taken on test drives, I can already see that the SS has got much longer legs at top end, but the GTR seems to get up and boogie a little quicker. I'll have both cars for a period of time, so it'll be good to do a proper comparison.

    • 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.
    • 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?
