  1. 4x R34 GTR wheels in bronze and tyres. Tyres are Bridgestone RE002's with lots of tread..about 90% to go. 3 of the rims are in great condition, however one of the rims has been in an accident and needs to be rolled out by a wheel shop. Comes with centre caps too.

    Quick sale price of $900, firmer than a 14 year old with his first playboy mag.

    XR6T's are cool, but with any Australian produced car, will depreciate in value rather rapidly. So if you buy the new FG for say..40k, drive out the showroom, and your re-sale is 35k or even 30k.

    R32 GTR's are a solid option, because they are not going to depreciate in value. Buy for 15k, you can and will sell for 15k after that. Depends on how you drive also in regards to 'breaking down'.

    R34 GT-T's, for maintenance would be the best bet. RB25 parts are becoming cheaper (except for gearboxes, for a reason) and will still retain value. will usually have less KM's too than you'd expect.

    R34 from my viewpoint.

  4. Your dream of 1.10..well..hey..aim high or dont aim at all!

    But seriously, aim for it. But plan to achieve smaller goals to reach that goal.

    Aim to get the car ready to just drive out there. Have a good go, make sure you stick to the racing line, and see how the car handles and what needs improvement.

    You have enough power, now you need to put it to the ground.

    Kitto's time of a 1.20 was achieved because he thought about his setup. His brake system has been beefed up, and the right pads were selected. He chose good tyres also.

    My time of 1.37 that day was shocking in my HR31..put down to crap pads and bad tyres. I still had the most fun out there though.

    R33 calipers, upgraded master cylinder and booster, braided lines, slotted rotors and good tyres will get you around there under 1.30 no problem.

    1.25's...well...depends how you put the power to the ground and how late you brake.
