33Spec2, the old theory goes that a completely stock car will have a had an easy life, so it'll be ripe for mods. Heres another theory: A completely stock car has been owned by captain old guy/poseur head who wouldn't have cared much for mechanical maintenance. They wouldn't have warmed the car up before putting the boot in, they wouldn't have changed the oil every 5-10k km, they would have bought lower quality lubes and taken the super budget route with repairs in general.

I've seen examples of both theories, but the latter is far more common. Safest way is to inspect any car *very* careful regardless of the level of mods.

Yeh the Nissan Xtt has the fwd Ca-18 in it and its spewing oil from just near the CAS. Gonna give it a look this weekend and ill see how i go. if i start pulling my hair out wanna have a look on sunday? ill pm on sat nite if ure interested.

My baby ^

I have seen a 50 year old with 400kw Line - one of the best kept machines around.

I have taken on line same year, same transmission but had been thrashed by chinky bloke - haha it got chopped in a big way, feels even better when the ex was driving. So they go better for sure when they have been fully looked after by old codger.

I think no matter what you get just have it checked out as thoroughly as possible - and on a wing and a prayer it'll be fine - these cars ar emade for a bit of punishment anyway :uh-huh:

    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
