I love it when they think they are faster. I had an experience like that. New BA Falcon with the guy inside wearing a FPV hat. I knew he was going to try and drag so I took off at a medium pace shifting at around 4000rpm and I finnished just in front. Next lights I didnt bother at all and he was stoked. Third set I launch as hard as I can and manage to get it perfect and shift hard up to about 110km/h. His face was priceless he was all smug then when I launched it his jaw hit the floor. I was just like :uh-huh: thats right buddy feel the shame.

i must agree, commodore drivers have some kind of ego when it comes to skylines.

a couple of weeks ago when i was being dropped home (i think Veilside dropped me home) a VK followed us all the way from Hindmarsh going past woden all the way into badimara street tailing us. we turned of into my street and they decided to hit the gas and showoff because we didnt go them. maybe its like bulls when they see red they go rogue maybe commodore drivers when they see skylines they just forget everything and decide there the man?

almost every bald middle aged man in his "oh crap im having a mid life crisis, i need a sports car but the wife will shoot me if i buy something impartical GET OVER IT!!!!

What if he happens to be driving a "practical" SII Stagea and tends to upset people at the lights - because station wagons are not supposed to be quick!

Maybe I need to grow some hair.

Settle on the middle age shite lads. You'll be there soon enough.

I love my beast, I can't help getting older................and faster.

I don't wanna grow up OK! Is it Peter Pan syndrome ?

(must admit tho it freaks me to see other middle age wankers - even tho I might be considerd 1 in the GTR). We'll sort that out on the track.

My other car was a weekend track queen.... 260Z 2+2, FIA 72 rally cam, close ratio box, 4.375:1 lsd, 200lb/inch adjustable suspension, half cage, no muffler.... it was my daily driver. Mind you, it took a few years to reach that stage. It sits in the driveway now, minus the good box, diff and the cage - still an absolute blast to drive, more fun that the 240 for cornering, but slow as a wet week (88kw at wheels vs ~ 140). And I NEVER got pulled over.

Yep, I have the FTO with the black bonnet, it wasn't CF, but someone poured some battery acid on it or something so I thought I'd paint the bonnet black to see what it looks like.

The whole car is painted BA mercury silver now with full body kit waiting for someone that wants a rice car to take it off my hands.

Back to Canberra. Damn I know Canberra roads are good, but they really need to know when to back off. I mean what's the point in going on the wrong side of the road after you have lost. only going to get themselves or someone else killed.

Anyway, carscene getting better in Canberra, was at woden food court the other day and there were 2 180sx and a s14a parked outside. if it wasn't so cold I'd consider moving back.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
