Stock Vectra doing well until it rolled a tyre off the front-RHS wheel and made friends with a traffic light control box at DECA:

Howdy guys good to meet some fellow skyline nuts!

Hope all goes fine with the 34, damn nice car!

I ended up winning the co drivers by 30 points after a timing mistake on sunday was corrected last night! I think I won 6 outright quickest times also, got to be happy with that!

Great event and I'd encourage anyone who is a little keen on motorsport and drinking to give it a go!

Thanks

Simmo

Who am I? I'm an ex-game show host who can actually drive, has a tough RX7 but due to sponsorship arrangements have to punt around in the sporting equivalent of a golf-cart?

Unhappy campers wating for Jack. Tara brought some good muffins to cheer us up though :D

Well done guys, looks like you had a great weekend and were very competitive. You gotta hate mechanical dramas, remember to fill us in once you know exactly what caused the problem.

I note that Golgos times weren't counted but how did it go against the competition?

Brakes in Golgo not as good as brakes in R34 - learning that fact on the job:

A foregone conclusion - 'And how would you like your ass handed to you today sir?':

Jamezilla gets my vote for champion of 2004, im not too proud to admit i would have at least wound back the rev limit to 8,900rpm :D

Shame i couldnt make it to spectate, i was bashing around Horsham, Ballarat and whole bunch of places i cant spell in the mud and cold.

Good to see the R34/33 proudly flying the Nissan performance flag :D

Now that you have doen Dutton you know you want a re-match against SR/Escort in Rally of Tas :D

Will the car be ready for PI the week after next?

so did golgo have to go through an emergancy sticker procedure?

I would have thought Golgo had enough stickers as it is to enter any racing event without need for supplementation :Oops:

:):rofl::(:rofl:

Congrats Simmo - fantastic result and, if the way you were driving at the NSW rally is anything to go by, well deserved!!!

congrats on giving it a go guys, and for how it went while you were running :) Also *very* pleased to see you guys hitting the cans as well :rofl:

I love the G's you pulled in a car with stock suspension too, it goes to show how amazing a good set of tyres are :(

And Simmo, can you retire from these events so someone else can win? :slap:

Simmo - great stuff mate. I think I saw just about every one of your 26 runs and you didnt put a foot wrong all weekend. So well done mate. That car you were driving sure was one tidy package - I hope for your sakes its not the last time you get to sit behind the wheel of it.

Good luck with the quest for the Oz cars too. If you are down in Melbourne be sure to drop us a line and we'll catch up for a beer.

:P

Merli: We all know you want your car to look as cool as Golgo. You = sticker-envy :D

      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)

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
