The dreaded news we were all waiting for arrived this afternoon 7/2/05. The Federal Government changes to the 15 year old import rule have been announced and unfortunately they aren't what most of us wanted to here.

In a nutshell they read:

*Any vehicle built before 1/1/89 is still eligible to be imported under the new rules

*Any vehicle built after this date but already purchased as at 7/2/05 is eligible to be imported until 1/1/06.(existing purchases have not been affected)

HOWEVER

*Any vehicle purchased to be imported under the new rules must satisfy the SEVS criteria to first be eligible and be complied in a RAWS workshop according to the applicable ADR's at the time of manufacture.

The exact implications of this ruling and how it will affect the actual compliance process is not confirmed yet, however it will no doubt increase the cost and decrease eligibility of cars.

Now R32 compliance will be viable since the "shitter" 15 year old's cant freely come in and later models are cheaper than what people have been paying for 89's so it wont be that bad compliance will be more but car should be cheaper and you get a better car.

I have been looking for a 92/93 test car but was put on hold till ruling came out so I know what they cost and yes I know they have to be standard.

      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.

      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
