last time the engine was dyno'd was a few years ago, in a different car - at which time it made 122.3rwkw.

It has a slightly better intake and exhaust now, so I'd expect 125-130kw

The trick is to not have much weight to push along, and to come out of the last corner as fast as possible :thumbsup:

Went back out to Mallala and pulled 1.24.1, 1.6s faster than my previous time, so I was stoked.

Only thing that changed was brake pads, running TRW Lucas (not great, but for $50, cant complain). Still got fair bit of brake fade, mostly fluid as I ran out of time the night before and didn't flush it.

Feel there's still more left in it as it's still a bit too oversteery, and a bit from brakes. Oh and new semis would be nice, these ones are rock hard :P

Yeah pretty much. 1st session was knocking a bit (then blew a cooler pipe off when I backed off). Spoke to Benno and he said it was tuned for 100 and I was only running 98. So I had to pull a bunch of timing out and have a test run to make sure it was ok. Lost heaps of top end speed after doing that (about 15-20km/hr) so will be looking forwards to going back there with some 100 fuel.

Also the car stops so much better now than it ever has. The one session I had half a go I was stopping so much earlier than I needed and kept having to get back on the gas. The hard thing was I am simply so used to my braking points that in this one session I wouldn't allow myself mentally to drive in deeper to where I can now go. So there is a couple more seconds in the car for sure with a bit more seat time. But it's great to have a car I feel confident in even if I did still have a few minor hiccups again today.

Marginally off topic but thought you guys might like to see the 62.59 Barbagallo Long Circuit Skyline in action in a reverse grid race. Car went from 18th to 2nd in the race. Hope you like it

Cheers

That looked like fun :)

I see the camera car had to back off through the Essess - with your power do you also have to ease off through there Evan?

Yes there is a big lift off through the esses as the car starts to turn right over the crest and gets quite light before straightening to brake and take the left hander. The esses are great fun and very challenging to get right and oooh so fast. Sometimes I wish the esses went for longer

Yeah the EVO I drove around there the other week was pretty much on it's limit holding it flat but it could just be done if you got the angle through the previous left right. But that little crest for the right hander is awesome fun although I can imagine there has been a good number of big offs there through the years. Those essess definitely make the track.

With the horsepower and control tyres / rim size 235/45/17 on 8 inch rims and Toyo conrol tyres we have no chance of holding it flat...the crest sends the car sideways if you dont lift off and then the entry / braking for the left hander is VERY messy...yes the off's have been very messy...especially when you try and fit three cars through there side by side...lots of tears. I also love "Nameless" corner...the right hander after the left hander going up the hill. You know you have nameless right in third or 4th when the rear left kicks up dust just dropping of the edge of the track and then you hold your breath heading down the hill into Kolb. :D

The lap tims you guys are doing now are flat out flying. It would be interesting to see the times you could punch out on an open practice day where you get more laps to get into a proper rhythem.

Sorry to see the day end the way it did Andrew, hopefully nothing too major

      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
