I'm not sure whether to cut my losses and trade it in or to hang on and see what happens with the class action - i bought early last year RRP $58k and i am looking at about $27k trade in at the moment

Is it ironic that my daily is a 96 C200 Benz with now 242kms and is 100% faultless?*

Only thing currently wrong is the battery in the remote locking died last night but I have two keys...

*Was owned by a MB mech for 12? years as the wife's car before I bought it...

Rough break with the Audi. I've looked at German cars longingly for years, but I think if I bought one it'd have to be an old one (mid '90s or earlier) so every time something broke I could say to myself "it's 20 years old, something was bound to fail..."

The euros are tempting, but out of factory warranty they are a bit of a gamble. You can get an extended factory warranty on most if the original hasn't lapsed and the car hasn't done too many ks. I faced a similar scenario last year but piked on the euro (S5) I was looking at and went for the Lexus (ISF). No issues to date.

things are bound to break once I start to wind some power into it anyway.

went for a cruise around sydney with these today, that skyline is surprisingly quick - and i would say the S4 will take the c63 once tuned

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      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)

      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.
