Nice work on doing it. I know so many people who are too scared to try this kind of stuff.

When I did it I loved it too. I think I must have had a blank spot in my memory (total fear / panic?) as the free fall bit was over so quickly. Then there was the long glide down to Earth where you're just thinking "I just jumped out of a plane!" :cheers:.

well i dunno, but im one of those that wouldnt try jumping outta a plane

my teacher scared me off with saying "if u jump out of a plane high enuf, and travel at a really fast speed, ur body will explode before it hits the ground," thats wat the mach speed does to ya anyways....soo...ill be fine on the ground

I think the terminal velocity is about 150 km/h. Nowhere near the mach. The air slows you down within the first couple of seconds.

I ve done it in Wollongong, over the beach. It was awesome. I was screaming "F**K YEAH, YEAH!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!". The scariest part for me was the ascent in the plane, it was so small, tightly packed, with a little fiberglass door.... But it was worth it.

Cool, whered you do it and how much?...

Its my birthday soon and I wanted to do it....:(

hahah i did it at Picton... 20 mins from liverpool on the Hume Hwy (m5) it on the way to canberra...

cost me $308 to do tandem....next jump (tandem) is $215 and the one after is a bit cheaper still. But if you do a course you can jump by yourself. The course is 9 stages and total costs is approx $1500( that includes 9 jumps) but you can still do your first jump by yourself with your own parachute with 2 instructors either side of you

oh and it was 14000ft when i went.

and as for the getting married bit.. umm not anytime soon.. i think anyway...

      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.
