Anyone who can remember back to the Midnight cruise many months ago will want to see this video. Shows the aftermath and the incident itself. Lets try and not make too much fun of Boostzor or Supras in general. I think the price has already been paid :mad:

http://www.iinet.net.au/~bsisko/crashzor.avi (7.3MB)

The video quality change half way through is thanks to the bad quality tape that the footage was copied to. ie Not My Fault :mad:

Video: DivX 5.0.2 codec

Audio: Uncompressed (I know, I know, MP3 next time)

Yeh s**t happens eh:)

The road was sloped toward the curb and the surface was not really that great. I think i let off a little to much too. Would have been ok if i had of been going a little faster:D hmm im going for drive

Unlucky boostzor... but thats the price you pay for street drift. After I almost put my r33 head on into a light-pole I wont be doing any street drifting from now on, shame wanneroo is so expensive to get on.

So is the supra back on the road after that estimated $5.3k worth of damage? $5.3k spent on the engine would have made a huge difference :D

You probably need to get some video codecs, most probably Divx ?

Yep all back up and runnin only took two weeks to fix actually:D The end estimate was only around 3.5k as i didnt get brand new parts shipped but got wrecked parts instead. Thank god for insurance:p well due to that and the last incident they are prolly gonna black list me:( may come down to selling the supra due to the ol no insurance problem. Oh well we'll see in march.:D

Big thanks to Gradenko for editing the vid and to Joe for the original footage and "eventually" stopping:lol:

Well as i always say u gotta find what u cant do before u actually find out what u should be doing. I was convinced i was gonna hit the curb on the right so i steered well clear of it. hmm me thinks bit too far.

"fear leads to oversteer, oversteer leads to curb, curb leads to towtruck and towtruck leads to the dark side (aka insurance companies panel beater)"

You know if the insurance company gets hold of that video they will probably cancel your insurance and bill you for the repairs. Videoing people having prangs whilst doing something stupid on the road is all well and good, putting it up so anyone can download it isnt a very good idea.

Hmm good point sooo ahhh..... shhhhh;)

Doesnt really show my plates and i wasnt doing anything that stoopid was i:rolleyes: . Besides, insurance companies arnt stoopid if u looked at the damage u would be able to extrapolate that video anyway pretty much. I told em where it was and they saw the damage so they prolly figured i was doin exactly what i did anyhow. Y do u think i pay 2.5k a year for insurance??? fo incidents like that thats y:D

What explanation for it did you give the insurance company then??? :D

it might not show your plates, but it has some pretty good shots of you expaining what happened to your car haha

I don't do insurance - I figure that I won't be doing 2 1/2 thou worth of damage to my car every year, so cheaper not to have any :P

      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.

      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.
