hey aggro, did you upgrade your brakes when you did the turbo conversion? If not, i strongly recommend :) I did it to mine, got the GTT brakes put in, one of my best mods :P The reason i brought it up is i would imagine if you had the GT brakes when you did this they would have suffered, i seized up my GT brakes for a lot less abuse.

I couldn't help but laugh at Matt when i looked out of eric's car to see my car pushing this big cone halfway down the track..

I don't even know where I collected that cone from! I hope I delivered it back where it was meant to go!

Thanks again Dave for the drive! That car is hell fun to chuck about!

Just need to sort that camber, throw some semis on and give the keys back to me at Wakie... :)

As for requests for DVD's, i hadnt really come along with the intention of selling images or making anything out of it, it was more about helping out as a volunteer as I have before, This is something that would have to be run past the Mods \ Event organisers due to their own arrangements which included a paid photographer that turned up to do some work and not wanting to "upset the apple cart" as such.

Maybe some input from Mods \ Event organisers for those interested?

Some great photos there!

The club photographer is there to ensure we have one "Pro" making the service availble to anyone that shows up wether or not the frequent these forums. The service on the day is to ensure that the photographer gets paid a bit in return for his time and ensuring he's there all day. So, don't worry about upsetting any apple cart. There are quite a few of you guys out there taking great shots and doing a great job for the club. We want everyone to benefit from your skills.

As long as you are not selling the photos professionally or representing yourself as an "official SAU photographer" then go nuts. If people want to buy them off you, that's great. If we end up having too many photographers offering paid services at an event then we may have to come up with a fair means to short it out but will try to be fair to all.

Oh, and I also do not want in any way to short shaft you guys that have been taking photographs for the club for some time. It's great to have so many people keen on helping us keep great looking memories from our events.

Anyone wanting to put their name in to the portfolio of SAU Club Official Photographers, contact me. I'll take your details and get some portfolio shots to bring up with the execs. We already have a roster of a few guys to ensure we can cover our various events. We will also try to rotate through a few folks to ensure everyone gets a fair shake.

    • Brand new r34 gtt box 
    • What is the go to gearbox these days for a RWD RB? Back in the day VG TT boxes were cheap and strong. Seems they are as expensive as an RB25 box these days. What are the options without remortgaging the house? 
    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
    • Okay, with all that being said about sloppy blowing from twins, I happily acknowledge the superiority of a single turbo setup on the RB; however, I still plan on double trouble.  I know the -9s were quite popular for some time because they seemed to meet that sweet spot between the -7s and 5s, would introducing VCAM and/or stroking to 2.8L provide the additional displacement/flow to push twins closer to the 500-600 goal?  Does it make more sense for a daily to just do an engine overhaul, slap some -7s on it and enjoy a bit more reliable power?  Has anyone driven a mine's overhauled and tuned engine?  I know they certainly don't approach the power numbers that you drag monsters do down under, but for daily street usage, I just want it to be fun and healthy.
