It's not the lack of free to air that has turned me off. Half the time I watch a recorded race anyway cos I don't fancy still being up at 1am and having to work the next day. It's not the Mercedes d

Yeh..i suspect test colours and will do a flip for Melb

Gutted F1 is without Lorus again...i understand the heritage wasnt really there but people recognised the hustory of the name and recognition it commanded and chose to at least keep the great name alive.

Will go back to holding my breath that some loaded chap wants to bring the name Tyrrell back

I like it, but I think I read somewhere that it is indeed just a pre-season livery.

Will miss the black and gold Lotus colours thats for sure

Black and Gold were not Lotus colours really. British Racing Green and yellow were. The Black and gold livery was cigarette companies colours, same as the blue and yellow that nobody remembers.

Never really cared for the corporate bankers/capitalists trying to claim the Lotus heritage. They could have had it for $2 back in 1994 but no one wanted it then. So they pay millions for it years after it has lost most of its value. Was happy enough with the Toleman/Benetton/Renault lineage. Don't forget this was the team that gave Derrick Warwick (A former Renault factory driver too, by the way) and some bloke called Senna a break. Plus Johnny Cecotto drove for them if you wanted to follow a Venezuelan.

BTW, best driver combination ever: Johnny ChookLotto and Gianfranco BrokenTellie, Bathurst 1987.

      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.
