Not based on the Carerra GT. Ruf designed their own chassis, 977 turbo front end suspension geometry. Maybe the Caymen rear lights and mid mount engine made it resembles the Carrera GT.

Yeah the pictures doesnt tell the whole story. From the specs it actually has a supercar proportion about 1944mm width and 1230mm height I remember. Would look much more dramatic in metal.

yeah interested to know if he has bigger sizes like 255s. are these street legal or not?

Remember the Yellow Bird? RUF Announces the CTR3 Supercar Exactly 20 years after the legendary CTR “Yellow Bird†and 10 years after the second CTR, RUF announces the all new CTR3. The RUF CTR3 was presented at the grand opening of the new RUF facility in Bahrain. While the first two CTR generations still had their engines in the rear, the new CTR3 has a mid engine design. However, one thing that the CTR3 has in common with its two predecessors is that it is a pure driving machine. The CTR3 is made to involve the driver in the driving experience. The mid engine design provides exceptional balance and agile handling, while the longer wheel base provides better driving stability at high speed. The body of the CTR3 is a completely new development which is not based on any existing mid engine concept. It is aerodynamically designed for high speed. The body is constructed in steel, aluminum and kevlar-carbon. Zinc dipped steel is used for the front structure and the passenger compartment. The engine and transmission are fixed in a space frame and birdcage. The passenger compartment is protected the latest version of the famous RUF Integrated Roll Cage which is integrated into the A pillar and birdcage. The doors, with integrated side impact protection beams, and the front hood are made of aluminum. The body shell is made of kevlar-carbon composite. The body styling was created by Ben Soderberg, who is responsible for the RUF design. RUF has 30 years of experience with turbo charged boxer engines. The CTR3’s twin turbo charged 3.8 liter flat six cylinder engine has an output of 700 bhp at 7,000 rpm. The maximum torque is 657 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm. This engine design combines a compact construction with high performance. Each turbo charger is provided an intercooler which is placed in front of each rear wheel. The sequential shift six speed transmission in the CTR3 is a new design and is transversally mounted. It can manage torque of up to 885 lb-ft. A shift indicator on the dashboard shows the gear in use. A limited slip differential is provided to maximize performance. The sport suspension is designed for high level driving dynamics and safety. The front axles use McPherson struts and an anti-roll bar. The rear axles utilize motor sport technology with horizontal coil over shock absorbers fixed over push rods connected to the wheel carriers. The brake system is designed to match the high performance of the engine and suspension. Both front and rear axles utilize 6 piston fixed light alloy calipers and ventilated, cross drilled ceramic composite discs. Each brake disc is 380mm in diameter. A specially designed Bosch anti-lock braking system is standard. The CTR3 rolls on forged aluminum wheels with central locking. At the front 255/35 ZR19 tires are mounted on 8.5†X 19†wheels, while at the rear 335/30 ZR20 tires are mounted on 12.5†X 20†wheels. The interior can be designed to the customer’s taste, from a functional light weight finish to sporty luxury finish with a leather and alcantera. The aluminum gear shift lever for the sequential shift transmission is a central unit to the interior. In addition, the 260 mph speedometer shows the driver that the CTR3 is made for high performance. The lightweight construction allows for an empty weight (according to DIN) of 3,086 lbs. The result is a power to weight ratio of only 4.4 lbs per bhp. The performance of the CTR3 is incredible. The acceleration from 0-62 miles per hour takes only 3.2 seconds. The top speed is 235 mph.

You will need both GTR latch and latch support if you are using a genuine GTR bonnet.

Any other inputs?

Im still patient;)

Any idea how many midnight Purple IIIs were produced? or if its indeed limited edition?

Im 90% certain that they are exactly same.

Best thing about this spoiler is that its made in Japan so I have more confidence in its quality and of course an fairly reasonable price. However I still would prefer the carbon top wing version. In fact I have made an enquire to SRS auto (pick up from where satanic has left) to see how much an individual order would cost, they said something about $600 plus for the carbon version but pending email confirmation. If it end up costing more than $500 then I will definitely give the ebay copy a try.

The way I understand it is Nismo made a prototype Z tune with a "Z1" spec engine in 2002 for Tuners Battle. However all customer Z tunes have "Z2" spec engine.

so there are really only 17 road versions? can anyone confirm this?

Good info thanks. Ive researched a bit more yes a Z Tune can be based on any GTR that meets the requirements. R tunes are not limited production cars.

how so? not a bad price though. im considering this ebay copy since the group buy looks to be on halt.

Its not hard to see that Subaru is copying BMW for body styling. The side of sedan wrx copys BMW 5 series, the hatch resembles 1 series. They really have screwed it up this time (more shocking than the bug-eye version). rear of the hatch is hopeless although I can see some potentials in the sedan version in terms of looks. A new grille and a redesigned front bar from any tuner will fix the front end (headlights are not bad actually). no pictures of sedan's rear end? Nice interior though. and im sure it will drive just fine.

I have an early (1999) issue of high performance imports magazine which has an article on one of the first R34 GTTs in Australia. It was brand new at the time (less than 100kms) and the importer in Queenlands was asking $90,000 for it. (GTRs then were over $150k) The article argues that the GTT is a direct competitor for BMW E36 M3 which at that time retails for $140000 in Australia. So it is a very reasonable price for an unique high performance import.

Found some more info from the "Rare Skyline Register, Garnering interest in a online registry of rare skylines" thread.

1 kg/cm 2 = 14.2psi so thats pretty close. I think the best way to be sure is to get an electronic boost controller. that way you could compare its boost readings with the factory boost gauge. not to mention other associated benefits with an electronic boost controller over a manual one. I have a Nismo "triple gauge" upgrade (still factory location) which reads to 1.4kg.cm 2. Its dead accurate with my profec B so the factory one wouldnt be far off.

In fact most stock GTT would get around 150rwkw for manual, less for autos.

Interested to know how many road-going R34 GTRs were built through out its 4 year production? Update: (Thanks to gtr13) The official number for R34 GTR's is 12,175 1999 - 5536 2000 - 1859 2001 - 2197 2002 - 1775 2003 - 2 Total V-Spec, V-Spec II and M Spec models - 7,338 Standard (Non V-Spec) ------ 3,962 V-Spec ---------------- ? V-Spec II ------------- ? GTR V-Spec N1 ----------------- 45 M-Spec --------------- ? V-Spec II NUR ------------------ 750 M-Spec NUR -------------------- 250 Midnight Purple II ------------ 300, produced JAN 1999 Midnight Purple III ----------- 189, produced JAN 2000 Z-Tune -------------------------- 17 R34 Autech ----------- ? More specific details in Post #16. Let me know if I have missed anything. I will update this list as we accumulate more data. Cheers

Got to give credit to Andru for his persistence despite getting flamed by everyone here! If the guy wants 300kw then just give him the advice on how to achieve it. He said he wants bragging rights of rwkw not power over weight ratio or faster 1/4 time, thats a good enough reason for me or for any car enthusiasts. im sure he will want to achieve other more important goals later (for example dump the stereo and get faster lap times) but thats a start. besides its his money or his parents money who cares. no need to stereotyping 18yr old whos rich. its not your concern. there are much more unfair things in the world. now lets get back to the topic( I have given my advice)

Interested, need to know the offset though.

A mate has an r33 with this setup (r34 would get similar result) almost 290rwkw if i remember correctly. Cams are the important factor here much better mid range power, more driveable. Regarding longevity, if you track the car with 280rwkw the stock engine will let go sooner than later, if you mainly using it on the street then it should be fine as long as you treat it with care.

lets see, if your aim is around 280rwkw then GT3040 with cams would do the trick. anything bigger will be laggy. and obviously other auxiliary components such as afm, fmic & etc will be needed. as for injectors, 600cc would be sufficient for what you want to achieve.
