Have you got the half moons in stock now?

Hopefully the R34 is ready to go.... have to wait and see. But did the Tempora 1000 in the Golf R... a fun event, but more fun in a GTR.

Any idea on timeframe? Many thanks.

Brad, email sent. I need some of those half moons.

Hey Nick, Sorry for the late reply. I was just wondering if you had any pics on the clutch mod. I'm getting to the pointy end of the build (its slow when you only do 1 day a fortnight), and about to remove the clutch booster. Any help would be appreciated. You don't ever get to Newcastle do you? :-) Also, I own the Global Auto MPIII one that you see on Youtube. BTW, did you have any issues with the bonnet closing? It appears the my carbon fibre bonnet now fouls on the turbo and the front of the engine :-(

Thanks guys for the replies.... I'll try both MT and PFRE.

Hi, I need to get a titanium exhaust modified and lengthened (due to a RB26/30 conversion. Anyone know of anyone in Newcastle NSW that could do this? Many thanks.

Again, thanks for the reply. I didn't get rid of the 2.8 ltr through choice, it threw a leg out of bed and smashed the block and the sump to pieces (think 3 seperate holes you could put your hand through). It was running 760ps and 1.7bar at the time. The 26/30 option looked to be the best replacement as I needed to replace the whole bottom end. The engine mount was not sitting 100% down. one side still had about 10mm to go. Best case, the pipe needs to be relocated and the cross memeber cut and modified. Worse case it just will not fit. I'm thinking the dry sump may have to go, but I'm not 100% happy about that as the car will see the track on a regular basis, and the dry sump was a major consideration for the build.

Many thanks for the info. I'm doing a similar thing with a MP III R34 GTR. (I think yours is MPII) Here is a pic of the car and the old 2.8 engine.... I had the engine all assembled, but I am using a dry sump kit. It looks like the dry sump kit is lower than the wet sump by maybe 20mm.... so she not looking like she is going to fit. Here is a pic of the engine bay and a pic of the engine sitting on the power steering line... argghhhh. I'm also running a Greddy Intake so have the same issue as you with the clutch booster. It would be great if you could post some pics of the booster mod. Also, the "other two bolts" did you put a thread in the sump holes you made, or did you cut down the back of the sump to make a flat area and use bolts and nuts?

Great job on the build. Very impressive. Can I ask a few questions? What did you do with the bottom 4 bolts on the gearbox that bolt to the Sump (as the sump is now lower with the adaptor and the bolt holes don't line up? Did you have any issues with the Power steering line that enters in the middle of the rack directly under the sump? Do you have any pics of the Clutch master solution? and how do you find the pedal feel?

Ok then, time for attempted humour to stop.... and on goes my serious face. The specs of the car when the photos were taken are: 2000 Model R34 GTR. Midnight Purple 3 (one of only 300 made) HKS 2.8 ltr Step 2 bottom end. HKS T51R SPL BB Turbo HKS VCam Pro (1 of 30 made - and only sold to select GTR tuners in Japan) HKS F-Con Pro V ECU. Titanium Exhaust. Blitz Drag intercooler. AP Racing 6 Spot Front and 4 Spot Rear Brakes 19 x 10.5 +12 Volks. 265/30/19 all round (to be changed to 295/30/19). HKS Hipermax suspension Car was dynoed in Japan and made 760ps with max torque to 5000rpm. There are also lots of other little mods not listed, but are fairly obvious in the photos. The engine is currently being modified to hopefully increase both HP and Torque and make it bulletproof.

No, Its mine. I just thought it might be fun to see who can pick out the "mistakes" in the thread, and have a bit of fun... N1GTR seems to have gotten the idea.... :-) If you prefer, I can do the standard... Look at me, I have a car, and I am very serious.

Just a little more on the full sick Vtec system...... It is a limited run of 30 from famous Japanese Tuner SKH (so the little box says, but for some reason the rest of the writing is upside down). Apparently the limited run of the 30 Honda VTEC systems was only given to a very special group of Tuners known as the "Roundabout Handling 9" club. To get into the club, a tuner must be able to show that their cars can go around a roundabout 9 times without crashing. All the best Japanese GT-Ts proudly display their RH9 stickers to prove they are the best at roundabouts! Because we know we are at least twice as good as the Japanese, I am going to set up the RH18 club in Australia. I found out about these mega rare SKH VTecs by watching my favorite Intenet TV shows. Some of the ones I like are: The Block - 4 teams have to rebuild a engine block to see which one can rebuild their blocks the best. Masterblock - Each week someone gets booted off when the can't successfully cook their block. And my favorite is Nissans got Honda. Hosted each week by a short little man who likes to race cars. Tuners have to display their talents and people vote who goes through to the next round. Nissans got Honda showed this mad Nissan Honda Vtec system. Fully sickness to the max power.

How did you know I used to have a full sickness S13 with a mad S15 body kit? Ahhh.... you can see it in the photos! I also used to have a mad 30 year old hair dressers car in wicked green..... it used to kick the butt of Giant's ssssslllllooooooowwwww R32 GTS-4 in all the Dutton rallies.... I even have the OFFICAL records to prove it! MMMAAAAADDDD!!!!!!

After lurking on SAU for a few years and after a few years of transition from my old street/track car (can you guess what it was?), I finally got myself a new car to compete in Time Attack and Tarmac rally events..... After following the many knowledgeable posters here, I took all the combined knowledge and decided to create a true track and street weapon. So based on this wealth of knowledge, the following was born.... A rare 1997 R34 GT-T - because they are lighter than the GTR, and light is good. Painted in a mix of blue and purple house paint - because multi-color is true sickness. Removed one standard turbo to go single - because it makes to more responsive. Modified Honda Vtec - because everyone knows after Nissan, Honda VTec is da bomb. Japanese ECU - because everyone knows that Motec and Autronic as shite. Fully sick 22inch chromies - because wheels can never be too big. Airbag suspension - because I saw it on Pimp My Ride. All the engine work has given a DYNO PROVEN 58kw. So if you see it on the street, don't even bother trying to race it, as it has been born from the collective power of the internet forums...... Here a few pics of the story so far.

This looks really good. I've been struggling to find something to replace the old Dutton Rallies. There seems to be a hole at the moment for motorsport for street regoed cars. Hopefully the car will be ready by then. How fast are entries filling up?

Its actually a 120Y with a body kit.... just don't tell any one.... shhhh....

I'm coming.... I guess that is me on the list as there is only one R34 GTR.

Got a pic of the GT Wing and boot?

There is a method to my madness. I don't want to fit a cage, but I think side intrusion bars are important for safety. Given you can get carbon fibre doors around 5kg, 4kg for intrusion bars, 5kgs for glass, 2kgs for add on trim... you could get a 36kg door down to 16kgs. Times by 2 doors, and you could save 40kgs. Well worth it IMHO.

Thanks Matt.... so that was 36kg each? Looking to get Carbon Fibre Doors, and I was wondering the total weight saving..... Thanks! Can you fit steel intrusion bars to the carbon doors? Also, does anyone know what a standard r34 boot lid weighs?

Out of interest, what are the doors worth?

Btw, just checked out the Iron Chef one, looks nice.

How about the NUR listed on carsales for 65k

All going well, I'll be there on the Sunday.
