Congratulations Bu5ter. That really is a great achievement considering you haven't been in the car for over 1 year, and now running a completely different set-up.

Enjoy mate :(

To get good results on such a rotten night and on the car and driver's first meeting is fabulous. I am sure there will be much more to come.

On a side note, that information about RB30 bottom end builds is really top notch. Well done to all contributors!

Yeah was a bit warm, I burnt my hand on the fuel reg... which is mounted up near the brake booster.

The first 3 runs were between 32-38 degrees. Not sure about the last one but was still sweating like a pig.. even though was dressed for the beach!

the new hpi list will be

1. ryan quinn 10.12 136 mt et

2. 8th sin supra 10.45 131 mph

3. buster skyline 10.55 130 mph

4. toyota crown 10.745 133 mph bfg

5. 1JZ747 cressida 10.78 125 mph

6. john p 300zx 10.8 131mph

7. r33 j appleton 10.8 131

8. jza80 supra 10.9 129mph

9. 300zx 11.03 131mph

10. rx7 11.1 138mph

congrats to buster thats an awesome time.

looks like tens will soon be the bump spot for the over 2400cc rwd category.

looks like i need to open a motor and get another 10 mph and lose some weight.

Am I missing something in dragland or should Paul Diemar be in that list somewhere?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
