Don't forget, R34 uses 14mm bolt holes.. so.. the AOR kit will need bolt sleeves OR tapped out to accept 14mm bolts.

Then.. your brake balances will be aids, we have set this up on a S15, running a BM57 and R33 GTS-t rear calipers. Car doesn't stop as well as my piece of shit GTS-t rust bucket running just basic 350Z Brembo calipers (same shit as R34 GT-R just offset a few mms out), not to mention it weights more.

They're made specific to each car, if you're talking about the Alpha Omega Racing stuff, so if he has an R34 GTR then he buys the R34 GTR kit and bolt it on. Other than the bending (I prefer completely removing) the backing plate to make room for a larger rotor - which you must do for all brake upgrades - they are 100% bolt on, no sleeving no tapping no modifying whatsoever... provided you buy the right parts for the car.

Bias wise any front-only upgrade will move the bias forward - that's a given. Standard R34 GTR bias is 70:30 and R34 GTR NUR-spec bias is 68:32. With the matching front and rear upgrade the Evo 350mm Brembo bias is 69:31, this makes it a perfectly perfect bias. All the technical specifications are listed and also within contains a link to a 3rd party bias calculator for you to verify: http://alphaomegaracing.com/p/149/c/72/Z32/ALPHA-OMEGA/Evo-350mm-Brembo-Rear-Brake-Adapter-Kit-WTAC-Edition.html

If someone like Dan upgrades his R34 GTR to front and rear Alpha Omega Racing braking stuff, there are well founded reasons to believe the car will consistently brake/stop in a shorter distance + be more stable over any duration + have longer rotor and pad life.

I hope that information is helpful for somebody reading, cheers

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
