I think you are confusing the Mines and Veilside GTR's as I believe the Mines Demo car is 600hp not 1300hp.

haha damn you beat me to it !!!

Yeah what Benm said......2530`s are already giving it their all to muster them 600hp.....somehow I dont think you can squeeze 1300hp out of them.....

Having said that...id rather the Mines GTR over the Veilside one anyday......even with less than half the hp.

I just need to win lotto...

I promised myself I wouldn't do this but I just have to correct 2 points in this thread.

1. The Mines R34 GTR DOES NOT make 1300hp. It makes approx. 600ps

2. The Bonnet on the car is NOT a Z Tune bonnet. It is a NISMO R TUNE Bonnet.

ok lets try and bring some order to this discussion as i know the owner of the "mines gtr" (complete legend i may add) and saw it get built from the ground up . I have also had the pleasure of seeing many of the receipts ......ouch, but it was done properly

ok engine$$$$$ lots and lots not 25k

the advertised price for the mines engine is a rather standard affair. If you want bigger valves, bigger oil pumps, cc head and so on you have to pay and it aint cheap. and that price also dosnt include a block, head or a crank($10,000). so when someones says you can buy a mines crate engine for 25k ask for a few. Oh that also dosnt include turbos, manifolds or plenum oh they also cost money coz Mr mines does some nice work to those aswell.

Suspension and you thought the engine was expensive. Start looking around at what top quality suspension costs and you will realise this aint cheap, oh and not your HKS hyper dampers either lol.

Mines were also limited in what they could use on their car. If it aint a mines product it aint on their car. This car has the best products from every tuner in japan. Mr mines himself said that it feels faster then his car when he drove it, but because one is in japan and one is in oz its kinda hard to race them together(damn that big bit of ocean)

There is more and more that i could keep going with but its all to hard, yes you can go and buy a more powerfull gtr and it will go very fast in a straight line. But will it stop, turn and then go fast again ??? There is a reason Fred Gibsons old r32 gtrs ran about the same power. And they were unbeatable at bathurst. Power means almost nothing unless you need to win an autosaloon dyno comp or need to brag on forums

Total build cost was well over 300k and that dosnt include labour and frieght costs for all parts from japan. Was it worth it ??? who knows but it does lap a few of our circuits faster then his friends gt2(alot faster) and he paid 400k for the gt2 . Is it worth 170k to buy now....... depends what ya want. but it does look way cool and sounds like no other gtr you have ever heard.

So how much does a mines crate engine cost with turbos, plenum, fuel rail, injectors etc... and where could I get it from i.e. which dealer in Australia (if any?)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
