Does Anybody Know This 34 Gtr From Vic?

For a street car you'd need to swap the piping to stock, and paint everything black (including fittings and fuel rail) and ditch that catch can setup to a more humble looking one. Then you should have a good chance of getting away with things from most (not all) cops.

Also a varex adjustable muffler would be a good investment to avoid the cops

X-force's Varex mufflers are easy to spot with the chunky motor mounted on them, and apparently they are illegal for street use in Victoria if they are above 90db fully open. If you have one installed the controller has to go somewhere... another thing to hide from cops. Boost controller - EPA. Two induction mods - EPA. Aftermarket ECU - EPA.. Not worth the hassle unless you don't mind taking the risk.

If you're still looking, check out this bad boy from Queensland, similar mods... I actually prefer this one, only $58k with a genuine Nismo Z-tune carbon bonnet (costs $8k+)... which makes me wonder why they cheaped out on the cheapo LED tail lights rather than genuine Nismo, Nagasaki Auto or Sunline Racing items.

People in Queensland appear to get away with far more than us for modified cars on the street...

Thanks for the replies gents and the extra link to another car.

Would prefer to buy something from VIC as they know what we go through in regards to car mods haha.

Will have to see what is available in the next month or two if nothing comes up then will have to import one.

Thanks again and I will let everybody know how it goes.

Haven't been searching much especially since VIC these days have a few 34's for sale (2).

I was in talks with Iron Chef about a possible import option, but I am going to Europe for 2 months in July - so have put it all on hold.

Looking at SAU forums ad's and carsales the Exo X came to mind. New from showroom or go with the 99-02 GTR. Yes yes I know this was covered many many times, both are in their own leagues. Heart says GTR brain says Evo, still a lot to consider.

The next car I will get for at least 15yrs + so will be in it for the long haul. I'm thinking EVO might be the better option, but will see how it all goes when I return. Will keep you guys posted.

Also thanks for all the pm's and advice given here.

If you are talking about the last version specs of the Evo think that would be way too pricey. Sorta like a limited edition, one of the major off putting things for the Evo's is the interior, for a $60k pricerange you really don't get that much. Heck my 09 Audi A4 has better trim then them. Then again people don't buy them for the interior pieces.

Been searching around here and there and I'm leaning towards the Evo X.

It will either be a brand new Evo from the dealership which they want about $57k, but ill be offering $50k (as I've been calling around and they are willing to go that low, probably because of the last edition that will be coming out).

I've also been looking at this: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mitsubishi-Lancer-2014/SSE-AD-3525864/?Cr=1

I dont like the F&F Led interior lights but apart from that will be a good pick up if he has the spare parts, however not for $55k esp since its done over 35,000kms.

Thoughts?

Looks like you bought the car that Dan was offered...

Well it matches your Profile Pic...

Please tell me it was an NSX.

Got offered 2 other cars. The 34 is a 2000 vpsec (grey interior :( ) but has all the fruit for 480hp or so, is currently at racepace so I can speak to chris about it. under 50k's supposedly still has factory rotors so beleive to be genuine (of course would check). Also missing skirts and rear pods. Seats are up to 2k just for the fronts and I would want black, but I could just as easily buy nice race seats for that money or less, but then need black rear interior. Also needs MFD film replaced as is common.

The 33 is a wild card, looks like a beautiful series 3 in my choice of wheels and colour and a built 26/30 with 500kw 0_0. Apparently wants 34 money for it though but said he has spent 140k on it and "everything is new and pristine".

Haha good eyes - yep thats the same one. Lucky for me Dan was happy to help out and also pass on this car :worship:

Car is amazing, it has all the mods I wanted (Power FC, HKS25/30's, tomei downpipes, 19" te37' etc...) the only thing what is left are cosmetics (but they will come in due time).

Each time I drive it im just smiling away like im having a stroke haha - such a joy thing to take out. With 356kw at the wheels its probably the fastest car I've ever driven - just need to hit the track to test it out.

I just need to get used to the staring, pointing and people taking pictures of the car - apart from that no complaints!

Tnx again Dan - like I said beer on me :D

Sounds good!

How do the HKS 2530's go? Technically they are Garrett -5's...

How do they feel in the 2.6lt or is the engine built?

How much boost you running?

356 kw's is a decent number as there would be quite a bit of pull on boost.

Haha! Bayside Blue R34 GTR's do attract people.

To me they go crazy, full boost is as 4k rpm, they are running just past 17psi. Engine isn't built but does have cams - it also helps that Racepace has been servicing it since it was imported (2008).

Well today was first time I took it to red line, safe to say legs were shaking for hours later because of the adrenalin haha.

One thing im trying to figure out is the space between the window seal (think thats where the window deflector goes?) there is a gap is that normal and safe if its raining? Been trying to search the forums with no luck

Yea when i picked up the car from Racepace it has potential to do a lot more, just needs a tune. But think this is plenty for many months to come haha

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
