which is why I can't work out why people try to make their GTST's into R copies or try to make them faster.

My saying is that if you want a faster car , buy one from the manufacturer. Usually works out cheaper in the long run.

ken - yea.. well maybe half of it is in my head - but i honestly think it has made a diff.... u don't think they are worth it?

I assume you are talking about the brace between the shock mounts under the bonnet and not the sway bars under the car.

Strut braces work if they are attached to the suspension ( ie Macpherson strut style. )

The lines are double wishbone and the mount you are attaching to is not a stressed member of the car.Also unless it is straight and substantially thick , it will flex anyway.

I think you would find if you did an MC type day with the bar on and off , the difference would be marginal.

But hey , it looks cool and I have em on my car ( cos they came with it )

ken - hmmm everything you say sounds right.. but it still seemed to make a difference... maybe it is all in my head... but as you said - they look cool.. hehehe :(

paul - springs will be on the cards definitely.. was talking to no_respect tonight when i picked up the brace - his is about the right height (only about an inch lower than mine) and he said that he still retained a firm but comfy ride... he also said they're pretty damn easy to fit?

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • 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.
    • 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.
