89 GTR under 15yr rule.

Faxed it through on morning of 01 Nov. Received today. 9 working days to process then postage. Well it's actually very nice that one facet of this process has been quite painless!

Now, if the car would only get itself onto a boat...

Duncan: they're pretty much all 15 year cars..

Its seems actually fairly consistent, anywhere from 10-20 days seems to be the average. Few seem to be way long, but they are very much the exception and I have a feeling something funny was happening with them (got lost, funny car, incorrect details provided, etc).. or maybe they go into further detail with every nth car?

i think it's worth giving them a call now and then to make sure they have received it (then u get a reference number). Just to make sure it hasn't gotten lost.

I called them and they told me that the copy of my ID hadn't come through the fax right and they sent me a fax about it a few days ago. It actually went to j-spec because i had nominated them as my agent - (nice of them to tell me about it!!! but oh well)

Oh another thing, when i spoke to dotars, i mentioned that the money had come out of my credit card, and they said that that doesn't necessarily mean your approval is in the mail. If there is a problem, they'll take the $$$ out regardless.

mine arrived today actually.. nearly 4 months exactly from initial payment to delivery in my driveway.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...d.php?p=1099298

Hmm, i wonder if yours Godzilla32 was the one on the same truck.. there was a grey r32 on the same car carrier that dropped off my car.. Never know, maybe he was on his way to VIC ? would make sense timing wise if he left today..

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      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.
