Hey Wreckedhead? was that you at EC last night? white 32? plates J**T?

if so!! congrats on the run!!! looked friggin awesome!! one of the guys captured your run as well! hehe... i could see you were extremely happy when you drove back to the lineup and met up with your mate!!!

congrats again!

we were all jumping for joy, doesnt bother me who was driving, the car ran a good pass, and untill i get it caged i cant go back, hopefully in a couple of weeks ill sort it out and head back for some more runs

The quicker your car runs, the more "safety" objects the car needs. Hence the cage for sub 11's, parachute for 140+mph etc.

LOL!!!! no kiddin! : i know the purpose of a rollcage.. and a parachute for that matter! he was implying he wouldn't take his car down the straight till it had a rollcage, but i just was wondering why it was then ok for his mechanic to drive and not him!

Heh sorry for the confused reply, I guess if you don't own the car you're not going to treat it with mechanical sympathy.

The majority of drag strips in Aus operate under ANDRA, and their rules stipulate the safety devices for cars running certain times. If they know your car does xyz time and it doesn't have the gear on it, they won't let you run.

hey Moanie i didnt have a choice, after my mechanic run the 10 sec pass, my car was banned from the track till i get a roll cage, i wanted to race it but couldnt.

and Doughboy you completely right, when i sit in my car and im on the line waiting to launch, all im thinking about is "what happends if the clutch blows or the diff pops or gearbox breaks, then im ****ed so i treat it with a little sympathy" but my machanic has no such feelings and slams everygear like mother****er not loosing any boost in gears.

but ill get my chance in a couple of weeks to run my 10 if im a good enough driver, its just a shame i didnt get to run the car with the gas.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
