I was reading the latest Wheels magazine, and I stumbled over this little insert detailing the top Australian Car related websites.

Page 127 of Feburary 2003 Issue

1 Carpoint

2 FullBOOST

3 drive.com.au

4 Car Sales

5 Holden Australia

6. HAV- Holden Special Vechicles

7. Skylines Australia

8. NSW Roads & Traffic Authority

9. Australian LS1 & Holden Forums

10. Pickles Auctions

Undeneath this list was:

"The big surpirse is the appearance Skylines Australia, an interent forum dedicated to a car that NIssan 0z won't import here. There'll be ever more chat when members get a look at the V35 sedan and coupe elsewhere in this issue. Despite the interest in the Skylines, there's still supposed to be no business case for selling the car here. Then again, people said there was no market for a two-door Commodore."

I have no idea where they get their figures from.

"This month we'll look at the automotice category for November `02 while restricting ourselve to Australian site. Shock, horror, it's not a munufacturer on top, but Carpoint. The market must be doing well."

Don't worry, its allllll goood :wave:

    • 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?
