jnr32r, that last one where i didnt wheelspin at all was my fastest 60ft time, with the 205 tyres i was using it meant i would either have loads of spin or bog down a little in order to hold traction, like adrian says its all about the tyres for that first 60ft, if i get some decednt drag radials i should be able to improve the time dramatically.

what 60ft times were you getting with the falken and the nittos adrian?

Adrian nothing is confirmed about what discount and the night was really meant to be kept quietish as it isn't something being offered to everyone, its why its only posted in the NSW MEMBERS section and the amount of people is limited unless the spot your offering is your own? so please shut up

Dude, that's why I said what the RECOMMENDED RETAIL PRICE IS - i.e. I didn't say how much they would cost and only rpeated what BF said at Drag Combat.

Seems like a great incentive for people to join the club and have access to the members section if you ask me ;)

And no, I will never shut up. You know better than that.

Thats a pretty decent ET.

 

If you want decent grip and cheap get your self a set of 225 16" Simex's.

They have a soft sidewall. Nice burnout and they get very sticky.

 

Hows your diff? its not openwheeling even slightly? Its worth around $350 to get them shimmed up nice and tight from a diff specialist.

Just exploring a couple options to help improve your 60ft. :cheers:

 

I forget what your mods are?

Hey

Just curious what open wheeling is and what gets done when u shimm the diff???

Thanks

open wheeling is when your diff acts like a std diff and one wheel can openly wheelspin as aposed to an LSD (limited slip diff) which only lets one wheels spin a little before the other wheel kicks in also...

Anyway yesterday i was having a bit of a play on the old pacific hwy and managed to feel my diff open wheel a few times, its a bit spasmodic really, doesnt always happen...

but like yogi asked, im also interested to know exactly what they do to your diff when they "shim" it etc...

      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
