Had a bit of a heart flutter this morning when I realised it was Thursday already!

Car hasn't been run since Phillip island, brakes aren't bled, haven't finished bolting in cage let along padding it, have to put interior back in, have to fix water leak coming from somewhere around inlet manifold!

I better go through the bottle-o on the way home, it's gonna be a late one in the garage! The misses offered to give me a hand, she'll have to be beer wench?

I belive there will be a few photographers up there on the day, and also i belive Martin and crew will have their videos recording...

The more the merrier though... love to see as much footage and pics as possible...

Have most GTR owners upgraded their handbrake shoes or are using hydraulic handbrake?

With RE-01R tyres and standard handbrake inner shoes my BNR34 simply wont brake free in the rear no matter how viscious I am in trying to get the tail around. (Be it a sharp opposing turn first and then catching the change in inertia as the weight transitions whilst applying handbrake - she just wont budge)

Looks like I might be gripping it around those tight turns unless there is a trick I'm missing!??

Looking forward to my first DECA day in the [R] so see you all there! :sick:

Cheers,

Ben

Great,

I'm not 110% committed yet but I have a feeling my scheduled commitment for the weekend will be postponed.

Whomever else is planning on bringing video equipment, shoot me a PM if you'd like to co-ordinate a proper production of this event.

PEACE.

Yep - Project Mu or URAS drum hand brake shoes.

Have tried hydraulic. Don't do it, it's gay. ABS and 4WD computer doesn't like it much.

Hanbrake shoes work great if your cable is tight and the little adjuster that sits in between the handbrake shoes is set properly on both sides.

Thanks for the clarity, appreciate it.

I'll have to source some for next round as I'm $hit out of luck locating & having these installed tomorrow - doh!

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
