I have to agree with red, wakefield is a good circuit, but it is too short and tight... I like EC because it has a good mixture of fast sweepers and tight turns, it is also longer, much longer. Best time at EC (fast sweeping track) is 1:58, best time at wakefield (slow tight circuit) is 1:16 I think? I think that EC is smoother too.

There is a track day at Wakefield on 27th June, see thread attached.

Exhaust, suspension, bleed valve ;)

I really want to try the Creek. See what she'll do on a track which is more suited to powerful cars. Wakefield is quite tight for overweight cars like Skylines. EC is a skyline track.

But the good thing about Wakefield is that it's cheap and safe.

Interesting, I prefer Wakefield because there's more emphasis on corner speed, if you want to drive on straights try drag racing:burnout:

Best at EC is 2.00.07, Wakefield 1.11

The key to a quick lap is always getting around the corners fast, and it sounded on the video like there was a traction problem. Try some better tyres and watch the times drop! My Wakefield times dropped 6 second when I switched from Falken borings to Dunlop Formula Rs.

I find E/C more exciting than Wakefield. Although I'm not finished with Wakefield yet, it leaves me wanting more. After a session at E/C, I can contain my frustration in the car for a month or so.

I still want to do Oran Park though...

      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
