bonnet is bent, albeit only slighly.

the radiator support is a banana, but managed to not bust the radiator.

if the car was insured it would most certainly be a write off, but as it isnt i have to decide whether it is actually worth the work to fix it....im leaning toward just letting it go and start on the other coupe i have, as it is in better condition than the black one(even before the accicent)

the car isnt really that bad at all, im just not sure i could be bothered.... so if anyone IS interested in it, feel free to contact me.

new guards, bonnet(might be repairable) grill, bumper and headlight surounds would fix it...the radiator support could be pulled back out, it really isnt all that bad...yay for old cars i guess...had it been new it would have been destroyed

So the other drivers car had no brakes lights right, and didnt indicate... so that wouldnt be your fault right? :P

Not good man. But seriously, I reckon you could fix that in about 2hours. AND! Give the car a whole new look in the process, and just bolt on a sigma front end... Sigline! You will be full sick like thorpy, the drifters will love you, cause its old school too yo!

incorrect.... one car in the line up had no tail lights which contributed to the accident, but the 4wd i hit had everything workin fine....problem was he was already braking to stop at the lights, so when he stomped on the brakes harder, nothing changed from where i was sitting other than he got REALLY CLOSE, REALLY FAST, and the poor old r30 brakes are no match for a new cruiser with monster brakes and ABS.

Sorry to see it gone Jason, but not all R30 brakes are small.

This might not be the right time or place but I have 2 x DR30 standard radiators & 3 x thermo fan assemblies to suit, if they are any good to you or anyone else for that matter.

Great price ....... freight costs only.

Cheers.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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.

      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.
