Hey, I have a 94 r33 gtst manual skyline. My brother has just bought a VN ss. ive raced him and kicked his ass, but only when we were rolling at 20kmph. his is an auto its got the usuall mods like exhaust and extractors. So how do i take off so that i kick his ass, i know that if i get a good start, all he will see is my nice big round tail lights, but if i stuff up than ill have to chase him down, which i know isnt a problem i just wanna smoke him at the lights, cos hes a commonhore lover and skyline hater. Can anyone help? do i just drop the clutch at say 2200 rpm, or is there some other way. Please help? I was practising tonight, and al i got was alot of wheel spin, i got like 2 good take offs from like 8. What are some tips that can help me take off without bogging down or lighting up the tyres, cos my brother has been running round sayin that he can beat me, only cos i bogged down once and didnt bother to chase him. PLEASE GUYS HELP i wanna show this tree huggin commonhore lover of a brother that skylines are the bomb, and that his crappy VN SS AUTO is a BOMB. :wassup: :rofl:

practice practice practice.

buy new clutch.

practice practice practice... and so on and so forth.

Ideally you want the hardest rev you can drop without wheelspin.. add about 200rpm and adjust clutching accordingly.. (basically what was said above cept another way of thinkigna bout it).

Then just practice as you go along.

1 = Start from behind, never alongside

2 = Hold it against the handbrake

3 = Take up the clutch till it bites a little

4 = Idle up to 2,000 rpm

5 = Roll off the clutch slowly and add accelerator at the same time

6 = Minimal wheelspin by throtttle control

7 = Close up to the rear in first

8 = Change into second at 7,000 rpm

9 = Pull out and go past

10 = Make sure to sound horn and wave bye bye as you speed past :wassup:

The object is maximum embarrasment, do it once, laugh about it afterwards and he won't race you again. Offer to do it once more if the fool persists, but tell him you will give him a bigger head start this time as he needs all the help he can get. :)

I launch at 4200rpm.. But its an RB20DET lol.. :)

Slipping the clutch is the key.

You probably have tyres that are shot by the sounds of it. Either that or you diff is open wheeling.

I've loaded up against the handbrake a few times.

It works well and gives you a clean launch but by the time I click second I always get clutch slip..

Thats my crappy 2.5yr old clutch though. :)

      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
