So I had an amazing opportunity to purchase a GTR!

Until I remembered I haven't driven a manual in 5 years. So, I'm not going to purchase it, as I'll look stereotypical. IE: Buying a vehicle I can't drive, like an old person buying a lambo.

Let this be a lesson to y'all! If you don't want your dreams crushed, make sure you're always preparing for whatever could happen in your life.

I drove a manual up until 1985.......... Drove Auto Commodores and Falcons until 2003.

Bought a manual Brock Commodore then......... 18 years between gear changes. I was comfortable with it inside 500 metres.

Sorry your post doesn't make sense.

lol this thread is funny. Anyways, back in the day, I bought a manual 240sx. Couldn't drive a manual AT ALL. Had my LITTLE brother test drive it for me with me in the car. Bought it.....30 minutes later....I could drive a manual lol. It's not hard. All 3 of my vehicles are manuals now. The real story of this post should of been.

So I had an amazing opportunity to purchase a GTR! But I got to scared so I didn't.

If you knew how to drive a manual, you would of bought it. I haven't rode a bike in 10 years......bet I can pick it up in 5 seconds.

Which model did you get bob? My old man still has his vh group 3 in red which he bought in 84 :)

LOL.......... If you're Sydney based I'd probably know him!

Ironically I've had 3 VC HDT's which are the original 1980 ones. Made 500 based on an SLE so it had all the plush stuff.

All 3 were Firethorn Red (Burgundy), 2 manuals and 1 auto.

Bought the best one in December 2003 and sold it in August 2007 at the height of the Australian Muscle Car boom.

Good cars but light years from an R32 GT-R. Roughly tens years between them but it's horse and cart stuff by comparison.

Anyway here are a few pics from 2006.

Cheers,

Bob.

I'm going through with it. I'm not going to ***** out on this. I'm American, hence my attitude on the difficulty (IE: Price) Of GTRs in the states. I live in Japan at the moment, so I'm able to get one priced fairly. I'm quite excited.

      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
