Some pics of the day

Myself..white front bar, Mick51...R32, MRE R33 2 door, and a Maroon R33 were all on the track at the same time + the 3 of us went to and from in convoy. It was a really good day but very hot, heaps of Skylines there. The white GTR was very very quick but ran out of brakes and went off the end of the straight at just on 220kph,however having emptyed out a ton of gravel he was back on the track.

Mick and Dave(MRE) both lost it a few times while Mr Cool (me) didn't but was 3 secs slower 1.11

squizz.........................:)

002NVS.......They are Weds Sports racing 18x8,235-35 and 18x9,265-35

Model no is TC005 racing spec alloy wheel I got them from Primo (Phil Cathcart)

Why didn't you come over for a chat???

www.weds.co.jp/products on the left click TC005 then the Jap print on the left of the wheel for sizes, specs and price. As I said in another thread total weight is 2.5Kg less than stock mags with 205's on.........I like them too ;)

Expensive !! exchange rate today 68.7 Y to the $A so

2 18x8 at Y55000 is $A1601 2 18x9 at Y57000 is $A 1659 so all up $A 3260.00 + freight I got mine used of course from Primo.

Then the tyres of your choice another $1200- $2000.

Did you see the white GTR go off the end of the straight? He said he just touched 220kph then nil brakes!!!!!

Was a great day.

There were lots of Skylines there on the day, but only a few out on the track to show there stuff.

My best lap was 1:09, Mick got a 1:08 and I am not sure what time Jay got.

Was my first time so it was all a learning curve.

I had just lowered my car so it was handling a little different than I was use too, I think some better rims/tyres would have helped as well. And of course an Auto, limits you a bit.

Around 6 cars were allowed on the track at one time with one car given around 10-15 gap and there are 7 laps.

Apparently last time overtaking was only allowed on the main straight, but this time it was anywhere you liked.

Would be great when we get the QLD Skyline Club up and running so we could have a whole field of Lines on the track at once.

At $105 for a total 21 laps it's a bit exxy though........... Makes you realize what a bargain that day at Morgan Park was ...whole day for $45. we should try to organise that again, but maybe in a cooler season.

MRE..... hehehe....you might have gone faster if you weren't wearing ladies driving gloves, oops!! did I forget to tell you :shake:

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
